Editor's Notes
- #13 Go to Part 5, Chapter 3 Unlike markings, labels have exact standards for appearance. They don’t have to be in adhesive “label” form. They can be printed, stamped, stenciled, etc, if size, shape, color, and design specifications are adhered to.
- #15 3.1.1 – Column 5 of the DG List tells us which hazard labels are required on a package (Col. 3 & 4 do also since they specify the hazard classes/divisions). 3.1.3 – Like markings, labels must stand up to open weather Only one label per hazard is required —except for Radioactive (two labels). Review 3.2.7 on applying labels 3.2.8 – labels must not be folded—no turning corners. If it doesn’t fit, get a bigger box. 3.2.9 – Labels can be put on tags for irregular-shaped packages.
- #16 Review 3.2.7 on applying labels 3.2.8 – labels must not be folded—no turning corners. If it doesn’t fit, get a bigger box. 3.2.9 – Labels can be put on tags for irregular-shaped packages.
- #18 Look at paragraph 5; 3.4 …then look at the illustrations of each label at the back of the chapter. Infectious substance label may be shrunk to 50 mm x 50 mm if package is too small to bear larger labels. All labels get the class number—years ago subsidiary labels didn’t require it. Class 5 labels get the full division number. Text such as “flammable liquid” or “organic peroxide” is optional. ICAO doesn’t specify the exact text, just that it must indicate the nature of the risk. Therefore a class 3 label could say “inflammable” which means the same thing as flammable or could say “extremely flammable” or “very flammable”. Also, this text can be in any language (unless a state variation requires otherwise) since no language is specified by ICAO.
- #20 Large audio speakers are the most common example of magnetized materials that require this label.
- #28 These are common labeling violations.
- #29 Though paragraph 3.4.1 covering hazard label specifications calls for these labels to be a square set at 45°, the label application paragraph, 3.2, does not indicate that labels must be applied to packages this way. In the US, the FAA interprets the regulations to allow this type of label application. In the case of solids, like the example above, there is no required correct orientation for the package itself. So even if a label that was applied “square on point” it would no longer be that way when the box was laid on its side—as is allowed with solids.
- #32 Go to 3.2.11.a CAO label must be on same side of package as hazard labels. May be half-size for small packages of infectious substances.
- #33 Go to pictures of labels at end of Chapter.
- #34 No Class 7 hazard label is required on “excepted packages” nor is any documentation. This label is it. 3.2.11.e. -- This label “should” be used. It is anticipated that it will be “required” as of 1 Jan 2007. The specific UN number must be entered legibly in the blank spot.
- #35 Go to 5; 3.3.1 When those of the inside packages can’t be seen, labels must be reproduced on the outside of the overpack. This also applies to DG markings. Inside packages still need to be labeled even if the shipper knows the packages will be put into a labeled overpack.
