What is new in the IATA DGR 67th edition (2026)

DGAssistant already issues the air documentation under the 67th edition of the IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations, in force since 1 January 2026. This note summarises what the edition changes and where you will notice it in the application.

An edition of refinement, not of upheaval

The 67th edition does not redraw the structure of the Regulations. It tightens wording, closes gaps that generated avoidable rejections at acceptance, and brings the list of hazardous materials up to date with the way goods are actually built and shipped today.

The introductory part now describes the safety of the supply chain and the duties that fall on each participant, from the shipper who classifies to the operator who loads. It is a good moment to review who signs your declarations and on what authority.

New and amended entries

Two entries were added for UN 3166 covering hybrid vehicles powered by flammable liquid, so that operators can weigh the risk of a vehicle that carries both an engine and a traction battery. Specific detonators used in blasting also received their own entries.

Several special provisions were amended: A26 and A103 now cover heating machines, A107, A185, A214 and A235 add references to batteries, and A236 addresses magnetic resonance imaging equipment.

Documents and acceptance

The edition clarifies when an additional compliance statement has to appear on the declaration, and the acceptance checklist was reworked to cut down rejections that came from ambiguity rather than from a real defect. Guidance on power banks and spare batteries carried in the cabin was also added.

What you have to do in DGAssistant

Nothing. The hazardous materials database, the packing instructions, the special provisions and the layout of the Shipper's Declaration, the checklist and the package marking follow the edition in force. If you keep predefined products, review the ones that carry technical names or special provisions among those amended.
