This video is titled “TRANSPORT CODES FOR DANGEROUS GOODS” explains the international system used for shipping hazardous materials by road, rail, sea, and air, with a strong focus on plating chemicals.
Key Elements of Transport Classification
Transport uses four main pieces of information:
- UN number — Identifies the substance or group of substances.
- Proper shipping name — The official name used on documents and packages.
- Hazard class — Indicates the primary danger.
- Packing group — Shows the degree of danger (I = high, II = medium, III = low).
Focus on Class 8 (Corrosives)
Class 8 is the most relevant class for many plating chemicals. It covers substances that can severely damage skin/tissue or corrode metals. The Class 8 label is a red diamond with a black symbol of liquid dripping onto a hand and metal.
