ED Decision 2025/007/R
SAFETY RISK MITIGATION MEASURES FOR LOADING AND UNLOADING DANGEROUS GOODS
(a) The procedures for aircraft loading/unloading should cover the following safety objectives:
(1) prevention of damage to packages and ULDs (pallets and containers);
(2) consolidation of dangerous goods to ensure segregation of incompatible dangerous goods and comply with ICAO’s Technical Instructions;
(3) separation and segregation of packages to prevent interaction between incompatible DG and other cargo;
(4) prevention of movement during ground transport and during flight;
(5) prevention of shipments labelled CAO from being loaded on passenger aircraft.
(b) In case of damaged or leaking packages:
(1) packages found damaged or leaking before loading should not be loaded into an aircraft;
(2) packages found damaged or leaking in the cargo compartment should be unloaded from the aircraft;
(3) if leakage is found in the cargo compartment, check for other contaminated packages and assess if they can be transported;
(4) inform the commander/pilot‑in‑command by applying the NOTOC procedure;
(5) apply any additional procedures, including for reporting, of the aircraft operator and aerodrome operator.
