For the exclusive effect of application of this chapter, the following definitions are
here adopted:
a) Dangerous Cargoes - means cargoes which by being explosive, compressed
or liquefied gases, flammable, oxidant, venomous, infecting agents, radioactive, corrosive
or contaminating substances, may present risks to the crew, the ship, the port facilities or to
the aquatic environment. The dangerous goods here defined are listed in the international

This requirement shall be verified through specific essays (approval process).

- 1-- 1 NORMAM-29/DPC
 c) Packages - means the enclosures or containers of approved types intended for
containing dangerous goods, dealt with in Annex I of the IMDG Code.
d) Massive Explosion - means one that affects almost all the cargo, instantly.
e) UN Number - means a number assigned by the United Nations Committee of
Experts on Transportation of Dangerous Goods to each product or substance, for its
identification.
f) Cargo Transport Unit - means a cargo road vehicle, cargo railway wagon, cargo
container, tank road vehicle, and tank railway wagon
g) Harmful Substances - means those substances identified as marine pollutants
in the International Maritime Dangerous Goods Code (IMDG Code), or fitting the criteria set
forth in the appendix of Annex III of the MARPOL 73/78 Convention, as amended.
h) SOLAS Vessels - means all Brazilian-flagged merchant vessels engaged in
international maritime voyages or employed in the merchant maritime traffic among

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-- 2 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.
