Dangerous goods label management covers the creation, updating, and verification of all hazard markings on packages containing hazardous materials, in line with the applicable international transport regulations. The governing framework depends on the mode of transport: ADR for road, IATA DGR for air freight, and the IMDG Code for sea freight. Each package must display the correct UN number, hazard class, packing group where required, and the prescribed hazard labels and pictograms – at the specified size, in the designated position, and in a permanently legible format. Shippers and freight forwarders jointly bear responsibility for keeping markings complete and current; missing or outdated labels can result in cargo refusal, fines, or prosecution. This is distinct from dangerous goods documentation management: labels are physical markings or stickers applied to the packaging itself, while documents such as the dangerous goods declaration or Safety Data Sheet are handled separately.
