| Signs and Meanings | |
|---|---|
 |
Corrosive materials (Class 8) means a liquid or solid that causes full thickness destruction of human skin at the site of contact within a specified period of time; or a liquid that exhibits a corrosion rate on steel or aluminum surfaces exceeding 6.25 mm (0.25 inch) a year at a test temperature of 55°C (130°F). |
 |
Toxic 6: Toxic material that poses an oral or dermal hazard. |
 |
Oxidizer (division 5.1) a material that may, generally by yielding oxygen, cause or enhance the combustion of other materials. |
 |
Miscellaneous Dangerous Goods: A material which presents a hazard during transportation but which does not meet the definition of any other hazard class. Not required for domestic transportation. A bulk packaging containing a Class 9 material must be marked with the appropriate ID number displayed on a Class 9 placard, an orange panel, or a white square-on-point display. |
 |
Explosive Materials: Consists of explosives that present a minor explosion hazard. The explosive effects are largely confined to the package and no projection of fragments of appreciable size or range is to be expected. An external fire must not cause virtually instantaneous explosion of almost the entire contents of the package. |
 |
Division 2.1 (Flammable Gas): A gas which will readily ignite at a concentration of 13 % of less in air and has a flammable range of at least 12% regardless of the lower flammability limit. Example: Flammable gases: Hydrogen, Propane, Silane. |
 |
Environmentally Hazardous Substance Marking: Identifies any liquid or solid material, including its mixtures and solutions that are classified as marine pollutants. This dead tree, dead fish marking is part of the Globally Harmonized System (GHS) and was incorporated into the 14th edition of the United Nations Model Regulations. The eye-catching illustration of a dead tree, dead fish provides a visible concept of how contaminants from solid waste enter the soil and ground water systems. |
 |
Division 2.2 (Non-Flammable Gas): A gas which can ignite under some conditions, is not classed as a flammable gas, because it does not meet the DOT requirements for being classified as a flammable gas. Example: Non-Flammable gases: Nitrogen, Carbon dioxide, etc. |
 |
Flammable Liquid: Liquid chemical which will readily ignite, if subjected to a flame, or other ignition source. A flammable liquid (Class 3) means a liquid having a flash point of not more than 60.5°C (141°F), or any material in a liquid phase with a flash point at or above 37.8°C (100°F) that is intentionally heated and offered for transportation or transported at or above its flash point in a bulk packaging, with some exceptions. Example: Gasoline, Hexane, Toluene.
|
 |
Any quantity of packages bearing the RADIOACTIVE YELLOW III label (LSA-III). Some radioactive materials in "exclusive use" with low specific activity radioactive materials will not bear the label, however, the RADIOACTIVE placard is required.- rare at new dealerships, but you might see similar signs in cold war era buildings (remember bomb shelters?). |
 |
Division 4.1 (Flammable Solid): includes certain explosives which have been wetted with water or alcohol and are not sensitive to explosion, but can ignite and burn; and chemicals which are specifically assigned to Division 4.1 by the DOT. |
