What Are Class 5 Dangerous Goods?
Class 5 dangerous goods include substances that may not burn themselves but can greatly intensify a fire, as well as substances that may decompose violently, react dangerously, or ignite due to heat or contamination.
These materials present serious fire and reaction risks during handling, storage and transport and are regulated under dangerous goods transport rules in New Zealand and internationally. Class 5 is divided into two divisions based on how the hazard occurs.
