IATA 보고서란 무엇인가?

When I first started in the industry, I was told I needed an IATA Report while working on air freight. Recently, a friend wants to join my industry, and yesterday he asked me what an IATA Report is. After checking the latest information yesterday, I wrote an article specifically to help you.

IATA 보고서란 무엇입니까?

IATA Report, the full name is Identification And Classification Report for Air Transport of Goods. An “IATA Report” is any official publication from the International Air Transport Association (IATA), which issues various reports on commercial aviation. The IATA Annual Safety Report is a publication by the International Air Transport Association (IATA) that compiles, monitors, and analyzes aviation accident data. Since 1964, it has become a key resource for improving safety in commercial aviation. That is a very important report in magnet shipping. People can not ship magnets by air without it.

Shipping neodymium magnets by air is not easy. Even though we ship hundreds of packages every year, there are still some products that can’t be shipped by air – for example, a big magnet. (In some cases, for magnets of the same size, an individual piece can not pass the test, but 2 pieces in a pack will have no problem for shipping by air. That’s another story about magnetic field).

As we know, big magnets field will interfere with the electronic equipment and navigation on planes. That’s why many industrial magnets and magnetic assemblies cannot be shipped by air.

That is why people prefer to ship magnets by vehicle or by sea. Because magnets shipped by air will be easy to classify as Dangerous Goods if they have not been packed well to block their magnetism. Additionally, many carriers will not accept magnets for air shipments.

In fact, magnets can be shipped by air, if we follow some guidelines that explain how magnets should be properly packaged and obtain IATA reports from some certified labs.

How to Get a DGM / IATA Report in China?

In China, a DGM / IATA Dangerous Goods Report is obtained by sending product samples and documents (like MSDS and packing details) to a certified lab such as DGM China, SGS, Pony, Intertek, or CTI, where they test the cargo according to IATA DGR rules (e.g., magnetism or battery safety); the process usually takes 2–5 working days (express service 1–2 days) and costs about RMB 800–2000, after which the report is issued and can be used for customs clearance and airline acceptance.

What IATA Reports Say About Magnet Shipping

IATA Packing Instruction 953 states magnetised material will be accepted only when:

Devices such as magnetrons and light meters have been packed so that the polarities of the individual units oppose one another
영구자석에는 가능한 경우 키퍼 바를 설치합니다
포장이 완료된 위탁화물 표면의 어느 지점에서든 4.6 m(15 ft) 떨어진 거리에서 측정한 자기장 세기
0.418 A/m(0.00525 gauss)를 초과하지 않거나
자기 나침반의 편향이 2도 이하입니다

IATA 포장 지침 953 해설

IATA 포장 지침 953은 항공사가 자성 화물을 취급하는 방법을 규정합니다. 자성 물질 규정에 따라 4.6 m 거리에서 0.00525 gauss(0.159 A/m)를 초과하는 자기장을 발생시키는 포장물은 제한 대상으로 간주되며 UN 2807로 신고해야 합니다. 자기장 세기가 이 기준값 미만이면 시험 성적서가 있는 경우 “비제한(Not Restricted)” 화물로 운송할 수 있습니다. 실제로 화주는 모터, 자석 또는 스피커 등의 제품을 시험하고, 필요한 경우 자기 차폐를 적용하며, 라벨과 서류가 자성 물질 규정을 충족하도록 하여 IATA 포장 지침 953을 준수해야 항공사의 운송 거부를 방지할 수 있습니다.

IATA 보고서는 어떤 형식입니까?

IATA 보고서 서비스를 제공하는 시험소나 검사 기관이 있습니다. 화물이 검사를 통과하면 아래와 같이 “비제한(NOT RESTRICTED)”으로 표시된 보고서가 발급됩니다. 이는 DHL, FedEx, UPS 에서 해당 화물을 픽업해 항공으로 운송할 수 있다는 의미입니다.

화물이 이 검사를 통과하지 못하면 “위험물(DANGEROUS GOODS)”로 표시됩니다. 이 경우 재포장 후 다시 검사를 받거나 다른 운송 방법을 선택해야 합니다.

자주 묻는 질문

IATA는 어떤 분석 정보를 제공합니까?

IATA는 항공 산업의 동향을 파악하는 데 도움이 되는 신뢰성 높은 최신 데이터 솔루션을 제공합니다. 이러한 분석 정보는 미시적·거시적 관점을 모두 포괄하여 심층 분석, 예측 및 의사결정을 지원합니다.

What does IATA stand for?

IATA stands for the International Air Transport Association, a global trade association for the world’s airlines. It plays a key role in setting standards, providing data, publishing reports like the Annual Safety Report, and offering insights and forecasts that improve safety, efficiency, and sustainability in the aviation industry.

Who needs an IATA certificate?

An IATA certificate is typically required by professionals and organizations working in aviation, travel, and logistics.

How to Pack Magnets for Air Shipping

How to Pack Magnets for air shipping starts with testing the magnetic field to ensure it meets IATA limits; if the strength exceeds 0.00525 gauss at 4.6 meters, the shipment falls under UN 2807 magnetized material regulations. To comply, wrap each magnet securely, use non-magnetic cushioning like cardboard or foam, and, if needed, add steel plates or keepers to shield the field. Finally, place the items in a sturdy outer carton, label according to IATA Packing Instruction 953, and include a magnetism test report so airlines will accept the cargo safely.
