GMO's andTransportation
(Genetically Modified Organisms)
The 41st Edition of the International Air Transport Association
Dangerous Goods Regulations defines GMOs as microorganisms and organisms
in which genetic material has been purposely altered through genetic engineering
in a way that does not occur naturally.
How are they classified?
Under IATA 3.6.2.1.2 category:
(a), GMOs that meet the definition of an infectious substance,
must be classified as Class 6.2 Dangerous Goods and assigned UN number
2814 or 2900.
(b) covers animals which contain or are contaminated with
GMOs that meet the definition of infectious substance and must not be transported
by air unless exempted under IATA 2.6.1 by the States concerned.
(c) covers GMOs that are known or suspected to be dangerous
to humans, animals or the environment. These are also forbidden in the
air unless exempted by the States concerned.
(d) are GMOs which do not meet the definition of infectious
substance but which are capable of altering animals, plants or microbiological
substances in a way which is not normally the result of natural reproduction
must be classified in Class 9 and assigned to UN 3245.
(e) suggests that those samples which do not meet the
definition of infectious substance and are not capable of altering animals,
plants or microbiological substances in a way which is not normally the
result of natural reproduction are not subject to the provisions of the
regulations.
