(1) The identification number pre-

scribed for the material as shown in 
Column (4) of the § 172.101 table; 

(2) The proper shipping name pre-

scribed for the material in Column (2) 
of the § 172.101 table; 

(3) The hazard class or division num-

ber prescribed for the material, as 
shown in Column (3) of the § 172.101 
table. The subsidiary hazard class or 
division number is not required to be 
entered when a corresponding sub-
sidiary hazard label is not required. Ex-
cept for combustible liquids, the sub-
sidiary hazard class(es) or subsidiary 
division number(s) must be entered in 
parentheses immediately following the 
primary hazard class or division num-
ber. In addition— 

(i) The words ‘‘Class’’ or ‘‘Division’’ 

may be included preceding the primary 
and subsidiary hazard class or division 
numbers. 

(ii) The hazard class need not be in-

cluded for the entry ‘‘Combustible liq-
uid, n.o.s.’’ 

(iii) For domestic shipments, pri-

mary and subsidiary hazard class or di-
vision names may be entered following 
the numerical hazard class or division, 
or following the basic description. 

(4) The packing group in Roman nu-

merals, as designated for the hazardous 
material in Column (5) of the § 172.101 
table. Class 1 (explosives) materials; 
self-reactive substances; batteries 
other than those containing lithium, 
lithium ions, or sodium; Division 5.2 
materials; and entries that are not as-
signed a packing group (

e.g.

, Class 7) 

are excepted from this requirement. 
The packing group may be preceded by 
the letters ‘‘PG’’ (for example, ‘‘PG 
II’’); and 

(5) Except for transportation by air-

craft, the total quantity of hazardous 
materials covered by the description 
must be indicated (by mass or volume, 
or by activity for Class 7 materials) 
and must include an indication of the 
applicable unit of measurement, for ex-
ample, ‘‘200 kg’’ (440 pounds) or ‘‘50 L’’ 
(13 gallons). The following provisions 
also apply: 

(i) For Class 1 materials, the quan-

tity must be the net explosive mass. 
For an explosive that is an article, 
such as Cartridges, small arms, the net 
explosive mass may be expressed in 

terms of the net mass of either the ar-
ticle or the explosive materials con-
tained in the article. 

(ii) For hazardous materials in sal-

vage packaging, an estimate of the 
total quantity is acceptable. 

(iii) The following are excepted from 

the requirements of paragraph (a)(5) of 
this section: 

(A) Bulk packages, provided some in-

dication of the total quantity is shown, 
for example, ‘‘1 cargo tank’’ or ‘‘2 
IBCs.’’ 

(B) Cylinders, provided some indica-

tion of the total quantity is shown, for 
example, ‘‘10 cylinders.’’ 

(C) Packages containing only residue. 
(6) For transportation by aircraft, 

the total net mass per package, must 
be shown unless a gross mass is indi-
cated in Columns (9A) or (9B) of the 
§ 172.101 table in which case the total 
gross mass per package must be shown; 
or, for Class 7 materials, the quantity 
of radioactive material must be shown 
by activity. The following provisions 
also apply: 

(i) For empty uncleaned packaging, 

only the number and type of packaging 
must be shown; 

(ii) For chemical kits and first aid 

kits, the total net mass of hazardous 
materials must be shown. Where the 
kits contain only liquids, or solids and 
liquids, the net mass of liquids within 
the kits is to be calculated on a 1 to 1 
basis, i.e., 1 L (0.3 gallons) equals 1 kg 
(2.2 pounds); 

(iii) For dangerous goods in machin-

ery or apparatus, the individual total 
quantities or an estimate of the indi-
vidual total quantities of dangerous 
goods in solid, liquid or gaseous state, 
contained in the article must be shown; 

(iv) For dangerous goods transported 

in a salvage packaging, an estimate of 
the quantity of dangerous goods per 
package must be shown; 

(v) For cylinders, total quantity may 

be indicated by the number of cyl-
inders, for example, ‘‘10 cylinders;’’ 

(vi) For items where ‘‘No Limit’’ is 

shown in Column (9A) or (9B) of the 
§ 172.101 table, the quantity shown must 
be the net mass or volume of the mate-
rial. For articles (

e.g.

, UN2800 and 

UN3166) the quantity must be the gross 
mass, followed by the letter ‘‘G’’; and
