What does an “I” in Column 1 of the Hazardous Materials Table indicate?
Correct answer: C – The entry is a proper shipping name appropriate for international transportation
Federal hazardous-materials regulations use the letter “I” to identify a proper shipping name appropriate for describing the material in international transportation. When transportation is only domestic, an alternate proper shipping name may be selected. The symbol describes the use of the shipping name rather than the substance or its hazard class.
