Paquette) SUMMARY This paper prpses the refrmatting infrmatin fund in Part 8 Technical Instructins fr the Safe Transprt f Dangerus Gds by Air (Dc 9284) in rder t be mre practical fr the reader and user-friendly. Actin by the DGP-WG is in paragraph INTRODUCTION 1.1 Part 8 Technical Instructins was re-rganized in the Editin by listing the varius dangerus gds under fur categries: a) medical necessities; b) articles used in dressing r grming; c) cnsumer articles; and d) security-type equipment. 1.2 While this is an imprvement, sme issues with the listing still remain. Specific infrmatin is smetimes difficult t find and at times seems incmplete. Fr instance, where it is indicated that the apprval peratr sught prir t transprting certain dangerus gds in Part 8, there is n prvisin fr the peratr t ntify the pilt-in-cmmand presence f thse (7 pages) DGPWG.10.WP en.dc

2 - 2 - dangerus gds, their lcatin n bard the aircraft and their quantity/number. Cnsequently, an peratr might assume that the pilt-in-cmmand des nt need t be. 1.3 The refrmatting infrmatin in Part 8 in table frmat accentuates ptential prblem areas that will need t be addressed in the future. Als, the text will need t be revised fr cnsistency and accuracy. 1.4 In rder t allw passenger reservatins and sales staff and passenger check-in staff t find specific infrmatin mre readily when using a cpy f Part 8, it is prpsed that the infrmatin be refrmatted in a table with a quick indicatin if the dangerus gds are: a) allwed in checked baggage; b) allwed in carry-n baggage; c) if the apprval air peratr ; d) if the the pilt-in-cmmand ; OR e) if allwed t be transprted, under which cnditins. 2.
