Les exigences des colis de type C visent à prévenir la dispersion des matières et les débits de dose élevés. Les matières présentant un risque de dispersion limité et n’ étant que faiblement irradiantes peuvent être transportées par voie aérienne dans des colis de type B. Ces matières sont dites matière faiblement dispersable, ou LDM(Low Dispersable Material) et sont soumises pour leur qualification à une épreuve de résistance à un choc à grande vitesse(90 m/s sur une cible indéformable), à une épreuve thermique poussée(800 °C pendant 1 h) et à un test de lixiviation. 1, record 1, French, - mati%C3%A8re%20faiblement%20dispersable
