Notes:

  1. An “x” at the intersection of a row and a column indicates that packages containing these classes/divisions of dangerous goods must be segregated. A “—” at the intersection of a row and a column indicates that packages containing these classes/divisions of dangerous goods do not require segregation.

  2. Divisions 1.4S and Classes 6, 7 and 9 (other than lithium batteries, see 9.3.2.1.3) are not included in Table 9.3.A as they do not require segregation from other classes of dangerous goods.

9.3.2.1.3 Packages and overpacks containing UN 3480 - lithium ion batteries prepared in accordance with Section IA or Section IB of PI965 and packages and overpacks containing UN 3090 - lithium metal batteries prepared in accordance with Section IA or Section IB of PI 968 must not be stowed on an aircraft next to, or in a position that would allow interaction in the event of damage/fire with packages or overpacks containing dangerous goods which bear a Class 1, other than Division 1.4S, Division 2.1, Class 3, Division 4.1 or Division 5.1 hazard label. To maintain acceptable segregation between packages and overpacks, the segregation requirements shown in Table 9.3.A must be observed. The segregation requirements apply based on all hazard labels applied on the package or overpack, irrespective of whether the hazard is the primary or subsidiary hazard.

9.3.2.2.5 Explosives of Division 1.4B must not be loaded with other explosives except for Division 1.4S. When loaded on the same aircraft with explosives other than Division 1.4S, Division 1.4B explosives must be loaded into separate unit load devices and when stowed aboard the aircraft, the unit load devices must be separated by other cargo with a minimum separation distance of 2 m. When not loaded in a unit load device Division 1.4B and other explosives must be loaded into different, non-adjacent loading positions and separated by other cargo with a minimum separation distance of 2 m.
