Is a safety data sheet enough to book dangerous goods?
What would you do if the supplier sends an SDS and says that should cover everything the airline needs?

- Treat it as useful input, not automatic transport approval. IATA specifically notes that an SDS may not give an accurate transport classification.
- Ask a qualified specialist to identify the exact classification and applicable requirements. The answer depends on the substance or article and the way it is packed.
- Get the carrier's acceptance requirements confirmed too. The booking may need more than the information the supplier normally sends to customers.
- If the document is incomplete or inconsistent, return the specific questions to the manufacturer. Guessing from a product name is not a good shortcut.
