When a hazardous material's name appears in italic type, what does that indicate?
Correct answer: It is not a proper shipping name.
Answer options
- AThe material may not be transported at all
- BIt is not a proper shipping name Correct
- CThe material calls for extra-careful handling
Why
In the Hazardous Materials Table, proper shipping names are set in regular (Roman) type, and any wording in italics is not part of a proper shipping name. Shipping papers must use the proper shipping name itself, so an italicized name cannot take its place.
