RegulationsQuestion 17 of 80
What must a driver do if a hazardous material is not listed by its specific name in the Hazardous Materials Table?
a.Use the most appropriate generic or 'n.o.s.' shipping name that matches the hazard class
b.Refuse to identify the material at all
c.Invent a new shipping name
d.Ship it without any description
Explanation
When a specific name is not listed, the shipper selects an appropriate generic or 'not otherwise specified' (n.o.s.) entry that best describes the material's hazard class. The technical name is then added in parentheses when required. This keeps the shipment properly classified.
