Required Hazardous Materials Shipping Paper Table Column Information Proper Shipping Name 2 Hazard Class 3 Identification Number 4 Packing Group 5 Shipping papers communicate information based on the proper shipping name assigned to the hazardous material. There are two types of shipping names associated with hazardous materials. These shipping names are applicable for transportation of hazardous wastes, hazardous materials, or hazardous substances. Technical Shipping Names are used when transporting a single hazardous material. The word mixture or solution is added to the technical shipping name if the single hazardous material has been mixed with a non-hazardous or nonregulated ingredient. Generic Shipping Names are used when transporting a mixture of two or more hazardous materials. Identify the generic shipping name by the letters n.o.s. “End-use” names are also classified as generic shipping names. There are two pieces of information which may appear before the proper shipping name (PSN). 1-44 Module 1: Regulations
