FAQ: limited quantity Y mark labels

What is the difference between the Y mark and the mark without a letter?

The letter Y identifies limited quantities prepared for air transport under the ICAO Technical Instructions. The mark without a letter (code ERQL) is used for road, rail or sea shipments. In Canada, the Y mark may also be used for road or rail transport when the applicable conditions are met. Check substance eligibility, quantities and packaging; a small package does not automatically qualify. Always check your carrier's requirements.

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.

Does the label carry any text?

No. The mark is purely graphic: a diamond with black points and the letter Y.

Do the labels comply with the TDG Regulations?

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