EMERGENCY INFORMATION PANEL800In India, it is mandatory for the vehicles transporting hazardous chemicals to display EmergencyInformation Panel (EIP) with details and at places as specified under Rule 134 of the Central MotorVehicles Rules, 1989 as shown in the next figure.135Correct Technical Name(a)(Class Labels)Every class label and emergency information panel (EIP) shall be marked on the goods carriage andshall be kept free and clean from obstruction at all times.10UN No.( c )One practical problem encountered with the use of EIP is the selection of the substanceidentification number and the HAZCHEM code to be incorporated in the EIP when a tankertransports different chemicals in different compartments. The solution in such case is toincorporate the word "Multi-load" in the sections of EIP earmarked for "UN Number" and"HAZCHEM" and to label each compartment separately with the UN number and HAZCHEM codecorresponding to the chemical in the compartment.The emergency information panel (EIP) should have dimensions as shown in the next figure.51012012015HAZCHEM15(b)(e)IN EMERGENCY DIAL(SubsidiaryRisk Labale)SPECIALIST ADVICE6001013510120UN No.Correct Technical Name(a)15(b)800250(e)(Class Label)10180(d)(f)3015380 39010 10 10(Having Subsidiary hazard class label)(All dimensions are expressed in millimeters)5HAZCHEM6001012018015 ( c )IN EMERGENCY DIAL(d)30SPECIALIST ADVICE(f)15PETROLEUMPRODUCTSUN No.HAZCHEM12033YEFLAMMABLELIQUID10380 39010 10 10IN EMERGENCY DIALooo, POLICE ORFIRE BRIGADENamePhone(Having only one UN hazard class label)(Sample Emergency Information Panel)Page 08Page 09
