Hi all,

Is anyone aware of the requirements for the transport of compressed air in the form of diving cylinders?

They are UN1002 but i cant find clear information in regards to if they fall within CDG.

Carl, as they have a UN number i.e. UN1002 they more accurately are covered by ADR regulations.  Your post does not provide sufficient information e.g. how many cylinders are you transporting, are they going by land only or is there a sea or air journey involved, in which case other regulations can apply i.e. IMDG and IATA codes.

To get an accurate answer you really need the advice of a dangerous goods safety adviser (DGSA) as there are a number of special provisons under ADR which would allow you to transport these items with minimal requirements.

Hope this helps.
