Welcome back to the Regulatory Helpdesk where we answer your dangerous goods & hazmat questions. We’re here to help you become independent with \u2013 and understand the whys and hows \u2013 of the regulations.<\/big><\/p>\n A.<\/strong> No. The proper shipping name on the outside of the box is a requirement per 49 CFR \u00a7172.301 (a) (1) and must be marked along with the UN number in a non-bulk packaging.<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n A.<\/strong> In the DANGER placard scenario in 4.16, the Class 3 is restricted from using the DANGER placard specifically, based solely on quantity<\/u>. Regular placarding requirements apply to the load based on the guidance text in the introduction to 4.16.<\/p>\n Although there is provision in the TDGR \u00a74.16.1 \u2013 “500 kg Gross Mass Exemption” explanatory text (and a similar “FAQ”) to subtract mandatory placarded (restricted class) goods from the total and applying the exemption to what’s left, this provision does not apply to the situation described above.<\/p>\n In \u00a74.16.1 the part of a load subject to restriction from the exemption is based on the hazard<\/u>. The restricted hazard classes may be subtracted and the exemption applied to the remainder.<\/p>\n \u00a74.16 does not indicate that a portion of non-restricted hazard class is excluded from the gross load weight.<\/p>\n Thus, in the above example, Class 3 placards would be required; along with either Class 8 and Class 9 or DANGER.<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n A.<\/strong>\u00a0That symbol is an indication for information that changed or was updated in the last year.<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n Note the following error found in the TDG Regulations.
