[edit] Dangerous Goods Transport

So far as I'm aware, the following sentence is about 20 years out of date:

They also regulate the shipping of dangerous goods and publish the IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations manual, a globally accepted field source reference for airlines shipping hazardous materials.

I think this responisibility passed to ICAO in the early 1980s jmd 13:21, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

The legally binding document for the transportation of dangerous goods by air is indeed the ICAO manual, however the IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations remain the first choice of airlines and airports all over the world as they are easier to use than ICAO. If you should find yourself on the wrong side of the law then the CAA or FAA will quote from the ICAO Regulations in court, but the IATA Regulations are preferred for daily use.
