Section 172.101 49 CFR Ch. I (10-1-18 Edition) - or - in italics indicates that there is a choice of terms in the sequence that may alternately be used as the proper shipping name or as part of the proper shipping name, as appropriate. For example, for the hazardous materials description - Carbon dioxide, solid or Dry ice - either - Carbon dioxide, solid - or - Dry ice - may be used as the proper shipping name; and for the hazardous materials description - Articles, pressurized pneumatic or hydraulic, - either - Articles, pressurized pneumatic - or - Articles, pressurized hydraulic - may be used as the proper shipping name. (3) The word - poison - or - poisonous - may be used interchangeably with the word - toxic - when only domestic transportation is involved. The abbreviation - n.o.i. - or - n.o.i.b.n. - may be used interchangeably with - n.o.s. - . (4) Except for hazardous wastes, when qualifying words are used as part of the proper shipping name, their sequence in the package markings and shipping paper description is optional. However, the entry in the Table reflects the preferred sequence. (5) When one entry references another entry by use of the word - see - , if both names are in Roman type, either name may be used as the proper shipping name (e.g., Ethyl alcohol, see Ethanol). (6) When a proper shipping name includes a concentration range as part of the shipping description, the actual concentration, if it is within the range stated, may be used in place of the concentration range. For example, an aqueous solution of hydrogen peroxide containing 30 percent peroxide may be described as - Hydrogen peroxide, aqueous solution with not less than 20 percent but not more than 40 percent hydrogen peroxide - or - Hydrogen peroxide, aqueous solution with 30 percent hydrogen peroxide. - Also, the percent sign (%) may be used in place of the word - percent - when words in italics containing the word - percent - are used in addition to the proper shipping name. (7) Use of the prefix - mono - is optional in any shipping name, when appropriate. Thus, Iodine monochloride may be used interchangeably with Iodine chloride. In - Glycerol alphamonochlorohydrin - the term - mono - is considered a prefix to the term - chlorohydrin - and may be deleted. (8) Use of the word - liquid - or - solid - . The word - liquid - or - solid - may be added to a proper shipping name when a hazardous material specifically listed by name may, due to differing physical states, be a liquid or solid. When the packaging specified in Column 8 is inappropriate for the physical state of the material, the table provided in paragraph (i)(4) of this section should be used to determine the appropriate packaging section. (9) Hazardous wastes. If the word - waste - is not included in the hazardous material description in Column 2 of the Table, the proper shipping name for a hazardous waste (as defined in Section 171.8 of this subchapter), shall include the word - Waste - preceding the proper shipping name of the material. For example: Waste acetone. (10) Mixtures and solutions. (i) A mixture or solution meeting the definition of one or more hazard class that is not identified specifically by name, comprised of a single predominant hazardous material identified in the Table by technical name and one or more hazardous and/or non-hazardous material, must be described using the proper shipping name of the hazardous material and the qualifying word - mixture - or - solution - , as appropriate, unless - (A) Except as provided in Section 172.101(i)(4) the packaging specified in Column 8 is inappropriate to the physical state of the material; (B) The shipping description indicates that the proper shipping name applies only to the pure or technically pure hazardous material; (C) The hazard class, packing group, or subsidiary hazard of the mixture or solution is different from that specified for the entry; (D) There is a significant change in the measures to be taken in emergencies; (E) The material is identified by special provision in Column 7 of the Section 172.101 Table as a material poisonous by inhalation; however, it no longer meets the definition of poisonous by inhalation or it falls within a different hazard zone than that specified in the special provision; or 150 VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:41 Oct 31, 2018 Jkt 244226 PO 00000 Frm 00160 Fmt 8010 Sfmt 8010 Q:\49\49V2.TXT PC31
