Which compliance applies to self-reactive substances or organic peroxides?

• A. 3.4.1.2.5 for self-reactive; 3.5.2.6 for organic peroxide
• B. 3.4.2.1.3 for both
• C. 3.5.2.1 for self-reactive and organic peroxide
• D. 3.1.2.3 for self-reactive

Answer: (A)

Different hazard types have their own compliance sections in the IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations, reflecting how their risks matter most during transport. For self-reactive substances, the relevant compliance code is 3.4.1.2.5, while for organic peroxides it is 3.5.2.6. This separation is important because self-reactives can decompose or ignite under certain conditions, whereas organic peroxides have their own sensitivities to heat, shock, or contamination, requiring separate packaging, labeling, and handling rules. Following the correct provision for each substance ensures proper packaging and risk mitigation. The other options mix or misassign these provisions, which would not align with how the regulations specify requirements for each hazard type.
