• Class 7: Radioactive material – Radioactive substances comprise substances or a combination of substances which emit ionizing gradiation (uranium, plutonium). • Class 8: Corrosives. – It comprises substances that can cause severe damage by chemical action when in contact • with living tissue, other materials or the aircraft. Class 9: Miscellaneous dangerous goods – This class covers all articles and substances that are not covered by other classes, and includes magnetic material. • Some examples are: ✓ Asbestos ✓ Carbon dioxide, solid (dry ice) ✓ Environmentally hazardous substances ✓ Life-saving appliances ✓ Internal combustion engines ✓ Polymeric beads RMD RSB ICE ✓ Battery powered equipment or vehicles ✓ …and many others
