This item is not kept in stock. Please allow 5 days for delivery.

These hazard labels identify class 7 radioactive material packages classified in category III-Yellow, the highest of the three label categories. The category is determined by the consignor based on the radiation level measured at the package surface and the transport index. Each 4 X 4 in label shows the black trefoil on a yellow upper half and a white lower half, the RADIOACTIVE heading followed by three red bars, bilingual CONTENTS / CONTENU and ACTIVITY / ACTIVITÉ lines, a TRANSPORT INDEX / INDICE DE TRANSPORT box to fill in, and the number 7. Made in Canada, they are sold in rolls of 500.

Features of the Radioactive III-Yellow labels

• Black trefoil, yellow upper half, RADIOACTIVE heading and three red bars (category III).
• Bilingual lines to fill in: contents and activity, plus the transport index box.
• 4 X 4 in (10.16 X 10.16 cm) format, class number 7.
• Roll of 500 labels, handy at the shipping station.
• Heavy water-resistant gloss paper for indoor use, or PVC-free synthetic for indoor and outdoor use, both with permanent adhesive.
• Compliant, according to the manufacturer, with Transport Canada's TDG Regulations.

Available formats: roll of 500 in paper or synthetic

Radioactive III-Yellow labels applications

These labels are intended for industrial radiography companies, radioisotope producers and distributors, nuclear medicine departments and laboratories that ship class 7 packages. Paper suits boxes kept under cover; synthetic holds better on containers and packages that travel outdoors. Depending on the measured radiation, also choose category I-White (code ERRAD-I) or II-Yellow (code ERRAD-II).

For the vehicle, complete your display with the 10-3/4 X 10-3/4 in class 7 radioactive materials placard (ECLA7).

Radioactive III-Yellow labels technical specifications

Labelling Radioactive Yellow-III packages on two sides

Fill in the contents, activity and transport index with a permanent marker before applying. Where this labelling is required, affix two labels on opposite sides of the package or overpack, not on its resting or stacking faces. Freight containers and tanks require labelling on all four sides. Apply each label flat on a clean, dry surface. Keep the roll in its packaging, away from moisture and heat, until use.

FAQ: Radioactive III-Yellow labels

How do I know whether category I, II or III is required?

The category depends on the radiation level measured at the package surface and on the transport index. The consignor determines it; it cannot be chosen by eye.

What must be written on the label?

The contents (name of the radionuclide), the activity and the transport index, in the lines and box provided.

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. Depending on the shipment, 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 containers and packages exposed to the weather.

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 radioactive materials

Need complementary safety equipment for handling closed packages? Consider the glasses (YA12261) with clear Privo lenses, the gloves (G051144) with Horizon latex coating for handling, the kneepads (VG104) in flexible rubber for work at floor level, the helmet (TA14OR) with Omega II type 2 top and lateral impact protection, and the vest (V6935) with orange high-visibility mesh back. Select PPE through the risk assessment, not from the hazard class alone.This PPE does not protect against irradiation.

Under “Accessories” at the bottom of the page. Looking for complementary equipment? Consider the tape (ECT3YB1) with bilingual KEEP OUT wording 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.Do not touch a damaged package: stay clear and call the emergency number on the shipping document.
