international voyages; - wooden vessels of primitive construction; - vessels with no mechanical propulsion means; and - fishing vessels.

0103 - CLASSIFICATION OF DANGEROUS GOODS

For the purpose of this Chapter, dangerous goods are divided in classes according to their characteristics, as follows:

a) CLASS 1 - Explosives Class 1 is characterized by the fact that the type of packaging/casing is, in many

cases, a risk determining factor and, therefore, depends on the division the substance fits in.

This class has five subdivisions, corresponding to the distinct risks presented, as follows:

1) Division 1.1 - substances or products presenting a risk of massive explosion.

2) Division 1.2 - substances or products presenting a risk of projection, but not a risk of massive explosion

3) Division 1.3 - substances or products presenting a risk of fire and risk of producing small shock wave effects or projection or both effects, but not presenting risk of massive explosion. Comprehending substances or goods which:

I) ignite with great irradiation of heat, and II) burn sequentially, but without risk of projections or shock.

4) Division 1.4 - substances or products not presenting a considerable risk. The

effects are restricted to the package, without projection of fragments at considerable distances. The package’s external fire is not expected to cause any explosion.

5) Division 1.5 - substances highly insensitive but presenting a risk of massive

explosion.

- 1-3 - NORMAM-29/DPC

The substances in this division present a risk of massive explosion but are so insensitive that, in normal conditions of transportation, they present little probability of initiating a combustion or that its combustion may originate a detonation.

Note: It is more probable that the combustion may originate a detonation when the ship carries great volumes of these substances. In these cases, the substance must be considered as pertaining to Division 1.1 in what concerns to stowage.

6) Division 1.6 - highly insensitive substances, not presenting a risk of massive explosion.

b) CLASS 2 - Compressed, liquefied or dissolved gases under pressure 1) Class 2.1 - Flammable gases; 2) Class 2.2 - Non-flammable and non-toxic gases; and 3) Class 2.3 - Toxic gases.

c) CLASS 3 - Flammable liquids These are mixtures of liquids, or liquids containing solids in solution or

suspension (e.g. paints and varnishes) which emanate flammable vapors at temperatures below 61o C (in a closed crucible test) or 65.6o C (open crucible test), often referred to as flash point.

d) CLASS 4 - Flammable solids 1) Class 4.1 - Flammable solids (easily combustible); 2) Class 4.2 - Substances subject to spontaneous combustion; and 3) Class 4.3 - Substances that emit flammable gases when in contact with water.

e) CLASS 5 - Oxidizing Substances and Organic Peroxides 1) Class 5.1 - Oxidizing Substances - substances that, in separate, are not

necessarily combustible and may, in contact with oxygen, cause or contribute to cause a combustion of other materials; and

2) Class 5.2 - Organic Peroxides - substances thermally unstable, which may produce an exothermic auto-decomposition.

f) CLASS 6 - Toxic or Infecting Substances 1) Class 6.1 - Toxic substances - substances capable of causing death, serious

wounds or health damages when inhaled, ingested or placed in contact with the skin; and 2) Class 6.2 - Infecting substances - substances containing live microorganisms

or their toxins, which cause or are suspected to cause sicknesses in animals or human beings.

g) CLASS 7 - Radioactive Substances Means substances that emit radiation. Their transportation shall be made in

accordance with standards of the National Commission of Nuclear Energy (CNEN). h) CLASS 8 - Corrosive Substances

Means the substances that, through chemical action, cause damage when in contact with live tissue or, when spilled, cause damages to the ship or to other cargoes.

i) CLASS 9 - Miscellaneous Dangerous Substances and Materials Means the dangerous substances and materials that do not fit in the remaining

classes. They include, also, the products classified as sea pollutants, which

represent risk to the aquatic environment in the case of a spill.


0104 - REQUIREMENTS FOR THE CARRIAGE OF PACKAGED DANGEROUS GOODS The IMO Code IMDG governs the packaging, segregation, marking, tagging and

labeling of packaged dangerous goods. a) Packaging Approval

The national packagings shall be approved and certified by the DPC, who shall issue the competent approval certificate. This certificate will show the UN marking to be placed on the packagings.

When the packaging is originated from other countries, it must have the respective UN marking of approval by the originating country.

b) Statement of Dangerous Goods The shipper of a dangerous good shall present a Statement of Dangerous

Goods following the model form contained in Annex 1-A, which shall accompany the Cargo Manifest to verify that the cargo, as delivered for transportation, is properly packaged, marked, tagged and signaled in compliance with the applicable requirements. The shipper is responsible for the compatibility between packaged product and approved packaging.

The ship shall neither receive nor carry the cargo without the shipper's compliance with this subparagraph.

The ship shall not set sail from the cargo destination port without removal from board of the dangerous good, as stated in Annex 1-A.

When the cargo is transported in containers or inside vehicles, the person responsible for its stowage shall also sign a statement shown in the appropriate field of the model in Annex 1-A.

c) Radioactive Cargoes 1) Ships carrying radioactive goods shall submit, for admission to the port, the

documentation provided for in standard CNEN-NE 5.01/88 and subsequent updates, issued by the National Commission of Nuclear Energy.

2) The cargoes shall meet these materials' segregation standards contained in the IMDG, including the applicable seclusion distances;

3) For the berthing or sailing clearance of a ship with Class 7 goods - radioactive cargoes, by the Harbormaster (CP), Delegate (DL) or Agent (AG) office, the respective authorization by the CNEN shall be submitted.
