There are several classes of hazardous material. Miscellaneous hazardous material belongs to hazard class 9, and appropriate labeling and handling should adhere to the Hazmat shipping procedures.
Hazardous material ceases to be hazardous when it is destroyed, sufficiently diluted in nonhazardous material, it is chemically changed into a nonhazardous material or incorporated into an object that immobilizes it and renders it unable to be hazardous.
The DOD Form used to document the transportation of hazardous material by military vehicle is the DD Form 626, titled "Motor Vehicle Inspection."
