A13.1. General Requirements. This attachment contains information concerning the packaging and general
handling instructions for Class 9 (Miscellaneous Hazardous Materials).
A13.2. Handling Instructions.
A13.2.1. Class 9 material is generally considered less hazardous than other hazard classes due to the final form of
the packaged material or item for transportation. However, Class 9 materials present a unique and equally
hazardous situation during air transport. Personnel must exercise care when handling this material and ensure
specific handling instructions located in the packaging paragraphs are observed.
A13.2.2. Do not use halon fire extinguishers to combat fires involving Lithium-Sulfur Dioxide (Li-SO2), Lithium-
Manganese Dioxide (Li-Mn O2), or Lithium-Thionyl Chloride (Li-SoCi2) batteries. Use a chemical or Class D fire
extinguisher, or deluge area with water or CO2 fire extinguisher to prevent spread of fire.
A13.3. Ammonium Nitrate Fertilizers; Aviation Regulated Liquid or Solid, NOS; Benzaldehyde;
Dibromodifluoromethane (Difluorodibromomethane); Environmentally Hazardous Substances, NOS;
Hazardous Waste, NOS; Other Regulated Substances; Polycholorinated Biphenyls (PCB); Zinc Dithionite,
Zinc Hydrosulfite.
