CLASS 8 - CORROSIVE SUBSTANCES
Class 8 substances (corrosive substances) means
substances which, by chemical action, will cause
severe damage when in contact with living tissue
or, in the case of leakage, will materially damage,
or even destroy, other goods or the means of
transport.
Many substances in this class only become corrosive
after having reacted with water, or with moisture in
the air. The reaction of water with many substances
is accompanied by the liberation of irritating and
corrosive gases. Such gases usually become visible
as fumes in the air.
A few substances in this class generate heat in
reaction with water or organic materials, including
wood, paper, fi bres, some cushioning materials and
certain fats and oils.
A substance which is designated as “stabilized” shall
not be transported in the unstabilized state.
CLASS 9 - MISCELLANEOUS DANGEROUS

transported or offered for transport at temperatures
equal to, or exceeding, 100°C, in a liquid state, and

chapter VII of the aforementioned Convention, but

73/78, as amended, apply
MARINE POLLUTANTS
Marine pollutants means substances which, because
of their potential to bioaccumulate in seafood

MENTALLY HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCE, LIQUID,
