They are applied at the shipping station to boxes and packaging so that handlers and carriers recognize the hazard.

FAQ: class 4.2 labels

Why is the label half white, half red?

It is the design specific to class 4.2. It sets it apart from class 4.1 flammable solids (red and white stripes, code ERCLASSE4) and class 4.3 dangerous when wet substances (blue background, code ERCLASSE4.3).

What is the difference between this label and a placard?

The 4 X 4 in label identifies the package. The larger placard is displayed on the vehicle or the large means of containment. Depending on the quantity carried, both may be required.

Paper or synthetic: which should I choose?

The water-resistant paper is intended for indoor use. PVC-free synthetic suits indoor and outdoor use, for packages exposed to the weather.

How many labels are on a roll?

500 labels of 4 X 4 in (10.16 X 10.16 cm), in paper as in synthetic.

Do the labels comply with the TDG Regulations?

According to the manufacturer, yes. Always check the requirements that apply to your shipment.

Suggestions for shipping class 4.2 substances

Need complementary safety equipment for handling closed packages? Consider the glasses (YAU3200) with Genesis anti-fog lenses, the gloves (GS13KFNT) for cut protection during handling, the boots (VC8040B) with steel toes and midsoles, the helmet (TA14LR) for Independence top-of-head protection, and the vest (V7728) for flame-resistant high visibility. Select PPE through the risk assessment, not from the hazard class alone.

Under “Accessories” at the bottom of the page. Looking for complementary equipment? Consider the cones (EPTCONE) in the 18 in size for marking from a safe area, the removable reflectors (EPTR) for marking a stopped vehicle, and the road safety kit (TR16) to complete vehicle supplies.These suggestions are not a response equipment list for a leak.
