APPENDIX EDOT CHART 10
HAZARDOUS MATERIALS MARKING,LABELING & PLACARDING GUIDE
This appendix contains facsimiles of hazardous materials warninglabels, placards, and package markings and guidelines for their useas set forth in DOT Chart 10. Full-color copies of DOT Chart 10can be obtained by calling 1-800-467-4922, extension 3, or writingOHMIT/DHM-51, Washington, DC 20590. Regulations and require-ments governing the transport of hazardous materials by all modes oftransportation can be found in 49 CFR, Parts 100-199. For detailedinformation and to determine compliance, refer to that and otherapplicable publications.
LABELS
See Figure E-1, page E-2, for hazardous materialswarning labels. The following guidelines apply tothe use of warning labels:
• On and after 1 October 1993, those labels inboxes marked “TRANSITION-2001” will not be au-thorized for use under 49 CFR, Part 172, Subpart E.(NOTE: These labels may be used IF they wereaffixed to a package offered for transportationand transported prior to 1 October 2001, andthe package was filled with hazardous materialsprior to 1 October 1991.)
• For classes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 8, text indicat-ing a hazard (e.g., “CORROSIVE”) IS NOT requiredon a label. The label must otherwise conform toSubpart E (Section 172.405).
• Any person who offers a hazardous material fortransportation MUST label the package, if required[Section 172.400(a)].
• The Hazardous Materials Table (Section172.101) identifies the proper label(s) for the hazard-ous material listed.
• When required, labels must be printed on oraffixed to the surface of the package near the propershipping name [Section 172.406(a)].
• When two or more labels are required, they mustbe displayed next to each other [Section 172.406(c)].
• Labels may be affixed to packages when notrequired by regulations, provided each label repre-sents a hazard of the material contained in the package(Section 172.401).See 49 CFR, Part 172, Subpart E for complete label-ing regulations.

PLACARDS
See Figure E-2, page E-5, for hazardous materialswarning placards and Tables E-1 and E-2, page E-8,for a list of hazard classes and placard names. Thefollowing guidelines apply to the use of placards:
• All of the placards shown in this appendix maybe used to satisfy the placarding requirements con-tained in 49 CFR, Part 172, Subpart F.
• Each person who offers for transportation ortransports any hazardous material subject to theHazardous Materials Regulations shall comply withall applicable requirements of Subpart F.
• Placards may be displayed for a hazardousmaterial even when not required, if the placardingotherwise conforms to the requirements of Subpart F.
• For other than Class 7 or the OXYGEN placard,text indicating a hazard (e.g., “CORROSIVE”) is notrequired on a placard [Section 172.519(b)].
• Any transport vehicle, freight container, or railcar containing any quantity of material listed inTable E-1 (Section 172.504) must be placarded.
• When the gross weight of all hazardous materialscovered in Table E-2 is less than 454 kg (1,001 lbs),no placard is required on a transport vehicle or freightcontainer [Section 172.504].Refer to 49 CFR, Part 172, Subpart F for completeplacarding regulations.

POISONOUS MATERIALS
Materials which meet the inhalation toxicitycriteria have additional “communication standards”prescribed by the HMR. First, the words“Poison-Inhalation Hazard” must be entered onthe shipping paper, as required by 49 CFR,Section 172.203(m)(3). Second, packagings must bemarked “Inhalation Hazard” in accordance with Sec-tion 172.313(a). Lastly, transport vehicles, freight
containers, portable tanks and unit load devicesthat contain a poisonous material subject to the“Poison-Inhalation Hazard” shipping description,must be placarded with a POISON or POISON GASplacard, as appropriate. This shall be in addition toany other placard required for that material in Section172.504. See Figure E-3 for illustrations.
