Radioactive material is classified as Class 7. True or False?

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Depends on form
• D. Only for certain isotopes

Answer: (A)

Understanding how dangerous goods are categorized is essential. In air transport, each hazardous substance is assigned to a hazard class, and radioactive material is placed in Class 7. The classification is based on the hazard it presents—radioactivity—not on whether the material is a solid, liquid, or gas, so the form does not determine a different class. While the amount of radioactivity and the specific packaging or exemptions can affect handling and regulatory requirements, they do not change the fundamental class of the material. Therefore, the statement is true.
