IAFF Training for Hazardous Materials: Technician© Student Text “None”, listed in column 8A, denotes that there are no exceptions. “None” listed in either column 8B or 8C, denotes that the U.S. DOT has not authorized material to be packaged in this manner. Hazardous Materials Packaging Authorizations 8 Shipping Names (173.***) 2 Exceptions Non-Bulk Bulk 8A 8B 8C Acetone 150 202 242 Methylhydrazine None 226 244 Nitric Acid, None 227 244 Red Fuming Sulfuric Acid 154 202 242 49 CFR 173 also states that: “Each package must be constructed and maintained so that there will be no identifiable release of hazardous materials to the environment; the effectiveness of the package will not be substantially reduced; and there will be no mixture of gases or vapors in the package which could, through any credible spontaneous increases of heat or pressure, significantly reduce the effectiveness of the packaging.” Consequently, if there is any possibility that the container could rupture and leak, it should either be overpacked before shipping, or should not be shipped at all. Column 9 - Quantity Limitations Columns 9A and 9B specify the maximum quantity of hazardous material that may be transported in any one package. Column 9A refers to transportation by passenger aircraft or rail car, while Column 9B refers to cargo aircraft only. “Forbidden” means material may not be transported by that particular mode. Quantity limitations are net physical material, unless otherwise specified. All quantities are listed in metric units of measure. L = liter (approximately 1 quart) kg = kilogram (approximately 2 pounds) 1-24 Module 1: Regulations

For more information refer to 49 CFR 172.101 [(k)]. Activity Hazard Classes The hazard class system is illustrated on the next page and lists hazard classes from the most dangerous to the least dangerous. There are nine hazard classes. When a hazard class is shown on labels, markings, placards, and shipping papers, it is indicated by numbers 1 through 9. Some hazard classes have subclasses, which are called divisions. A division is indicated by a number to the right of the decimal. If a hazard class and division applies to a particular hazardous material, use the appropriate class number, followed by a decimal and division number (e.g., 1.6). The number to the left of the decimal is the hazard class number (in this case, “1” indicates an explosive) and the number to the right of the decimal is the division number. In this case, “.6” indicates an extremely insensitive explosive. Module 1: Regulations 1-25
