If Column 1 of a Hazardous Materials Table entry contains the letter "A," what does that tell you?
Correct answer: It is regulated only in air transport, unless it is also a hazardous substance or a hazardous waste.
Answer options
- AIt is regulated only in air transport, unless it is also a hazardous substance or a hazardous waste Correct
- BIts proper shipping name is fine for domestic shipments but may be inappropriate for shipments going abroad
- CIts hazard class, packing group, and proper shipping name are fixed and must be used exactly as listed
Why
Symbols in Column 1 qualify an entry. The letter "A" means the HMR apply to the material only when it moves by air, except when it is also a hazardous substance or a hazardous waste. A "D" marks a name meant for domestic shipments, and a plus sign fixes the name, class, and packing group.
