Reach IATA_DGR readiness without rebuilding your policy programme
The IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations (DGR) are the global reference for the safe transport of dangerous goods by air. Operationalise the ICAO Technical Instructions (TI) with practical guidance for shippers, carriers + ground handlers. Annual revision. Cover classification, packaging, marking + labelling, documentation + training. Training every 24 months mandatory for all involved in DG by air. Used by airlines, freight forwarders + ground service providers worldwide. Quick Policy maps IATA_DGR into the policy families, controls, and evidence your team needs — and keeps it current between audits.

Why IATA_DGR matters for your operating model
IATA_DGR doesn't just dictate document templates — it shapes which controls auditors test, what evidence they ask for, and which gaps surface first during diligence. Getting it wrong creates renewal slippage, audit findings, and stalled customer deals.
- • Issued by International Air Transport Association with global recognition.
- • Directly shapes policy families including Hazardous Materials, Aviation Safety — these are the artefacts assessors open first.
- • Common artifacts include Policy.
- • Obligation model: Mandatory In Scope — meaning you need defensible reasoning for in-scope vs out-of-scope decisions, not just signed policies.
How Quick Policy helps you stand up IATA_DGR
The platform turns IATA_DGR from a PDF of requirements into a live operating model — policies, training, evidence, and audit-export packs that update in lock-step when the standard or your business changes.
- • Adopt IATA_DGR once and Quick Policy seeds the right policy families (Hazardous Materials, Aviation Safety) with applicability rationale your auditor can follow.
- • Common artifacts include Policy.
- • Review cadence is enforced at ~365 days so policies don't silently expire ahead of recertification.
- • Standard updates (IATA_DGR revisions, errata, regulator guidance) trigger an applicability re-check across your active policies — not a full rewrite.
