DEFINITIONS
Dangerous Goods Products that are regulated for transport by Road and Rail under the national guide are Dangerous Goods. Products can be
classed as Dangerous Goods if they have a flash point below 60.5°C, a pH below 3 or above 11, are explosives or toxic.
These goods will be allocated a UN No., Packing Group, Hazchem Code, and possibly a subsidiary risk.
Hazardous Substances Hazardous Substances are those products that are intrinsically hazardous by nature, rather than by misuse. These include
mutagens, teratogens, carcinogens, products that are toxic (but not sufficiently toxic to be classed as Dangerous Goods or
carry a subsidiary risk), and products that pose environmental risks.
Poisons Poisons are products that are regulated by the dose or exposure, often having physical and chemical effects at certain
concentrations particular to the nature of the product. For example, in small doses, some products are harmless, but with
increased concentration or exposure these products can be extremely harmful. The classification indicates First Aid, etc.
