Latest update of the "Orange Book" (see CIS 94-17 for 8th edition). It contains a list of dangerous goods most commonly carried to which a UN identification number has been allocated.

Special recommendations apply to certain classes of goods. The recommendations do not apply to dangerous goods in bulk. |
