ICAO’s Technical Instructions, or TI for short, are international standards that serve as the basis for the International Air Transport Association Dangerous Goods Regulations (IATA DGR), the manual used by shippers worldwide to prepare hazardous materials/dangerous goods air shipments.
US DOT uses the ICAO TI as well—to make periodic “harmonization” updates to the 49 CFR Hazardous Material Regulations, or HMR. Most recently, DOT published a long-awaited harmonization rule, HM 215N, in which many of the changes made originated in the ICAO TI.
