Packing groups must always be communicated using Roman Numerals. Column 6 - Required Labels. Column 6 specifies required hazard warning labels.

Student Text IAFF Training for Hazardous Materials: Technician© • A code consisting only of numbers applies to all modes of transportation. • The letter A applies to transportation by aircraft. • The letter B applies to bulk transportation. It is bulk transportation if it is NOT non-bulk. See definition of non-bulk. • The letter H applies to highway transportation. • The letter N applies to non-bulk transportation. A nonbulk package is: a liquid package with a capacity of less than 119 gallons or a solid package with a net mass of less than 400 kg. • The letter R applies to rail transportation. • The letter T applies to transport of portable tanks. • The letter W applies to transportation by water. If a special provision is listed in the table but does not apply to the chosen mode of transport, it can be disagreed. Only investigate applicable special provisions. See 49 CFR 172.102 for the identification of the special provisions.
