I just noticed something, IATA has no class number on the corrosive label. Jeez, I’ve been looking at this forever and just now noticed it — probably because my brain was attuned to it from a different Labelmaster post that Anthony Affissio and I and others were discussing.
This is the diagram from the electronic DGR Section 7.2.A. I didn’t want to violate any copyright on this image so I just used enough for discussion purposes. So actually as long as I have your attention there are TWO things to discuss here.
(1) The hazard class label without the class number (this is a vestigial thing from 25 years ago — wait. FORGET that. This is a PRIMARY hazard label, it never is numberless (?). Un-numbered. Okay so that needs to be fixed…. can i assume that in the printed edition (I don’t have one my chiropractor doesn’t let me carry it anymore)… it’s correct? Or is that in error too? This has to be an online only error.
(2) as long as we’re talking about this diagram, it confuses the heck out of some people, when they see the LQ mark without the “Y” on it, plus the CAO label… at the end of the day what this is saying is that you can IGNORE the surface LQ mark as long as the package is UN spec and otherwise in full compliance with the ICAO Regs.
