For purposes of transporting hazardous materials, the classes are:
Class 1 - Explosives
Class 2 - Compressed gases and poisonous gases
Class 3 - Flammable liquids
Class 4 - Flammable solids, Spontaneously Combustible Materials, and Dangerous When Wet Materials
Class 5 - Oxidizers and Organic Peroxides
Class 6 - Poisonous Materials and Infectious agents
Class 7 - Radioactive Materials
Class 8 - Corrosive Materials
Class 9 - Miscelaneous hazardous materials
The nine classes of hazardous materials (dangerous goods) are not identified by unique colors.
poisonous materials and infectious agents
DOT class 6 includes:Division 6.1 - Poisonous materialsDivision 6.2 - Infectious substanceDOT Class 6 materials are:Division 6.1 - Poisonous materials Division 6.2 - Infectious substance
The DOT (Department of Transportation) class for radioactive materials is Hazardous. The specific Hazard number will be determined by the exact name of the radioactive materials. Special permits and placarding are needed for vehicles carrying hazardous materials. The DOT class is categorized into 9 classes according to hazardous materials transportation. Class 7 is the general DOT class for radioactive materials.
There is no minimum weight for the transportation of hazardous materials. You can transport as little as you like.
Division 1.1
Packages containing hazardous materials can usually be identified by the presence of Hazard Class labels.
Flammable solids are DOT Class 4.1 .
Hazard Class 8 is for corrosive materials
Flammable solids are DOT Class 4.1 .
All classes of hazardous materials require special handling. Explosives and radioactive materials usually get more attention in that regard.
Miscellaneous hazardous materials that do not meet the definition of any other class.
Class 9, Miscellaneous hazardous materials include a wide variety of materials that have been determined to be hazardous even though they do not fall into one of the other 9 more clearly defined categories. Examples of items in Class 9 include:Solvent-soaked ragsstrong magnets (when shipped by air)lithium batteries shipped by airConsumer Commodities
It is the hazard group for spontaneously combustible materials.
