The List incorporated 3436 common dangerous goods in air transport which can be further divided into 3 groups according to the aviation safety requirements:

These dangerous goods, amounting to 3153 in the List, are assigned and sorted by the UN sequence numbers.

Group 2 dangerous goods are prohibited in normal circumstances but could be carried in exceptional circumstances subject to exemption by the civil aviation authority. There are 2 kinds of such dangerous goods and they are not assigned a UN number.
Group 3 dangerous goods are forbidden under any circumstances, as indicated by the columns of “class or division”, “subsidiary risk” and “packaging group”. There are 281 such entries sorted by alphabetical order of the English names as they are not assigned a UN numbers.
