Specifically, you ask whether "Aviation regulated liquid, n.o.s." the proper shipping name should be "Environmentally hazardous substances, liquid, n.o.s." or Either shipping name may be used, however, the preferred proper shipping name is "Aviation regulated liquid, n.o.s." The entry "Aviation regulated liquid, n.o.s." was added to the § 172.101 Hazardous Materials Table in a final rule published March 5, 1999 (Docket HM-215C; 64 FR 10741) for alignment with the ICAO Technical Instructions and the UN Recommendations. I trust you find the information helpful. Sincerely, Hotle 2.

The box contains a total amount of approximately 560 ml of 10% neutral buffered formalin in five containers when returned to us. We do not provide the 10% neutral buffered formalin. Currently, our shipping information is: Environmentally hazardous substances, liquid, 1.o.s. (formaldehyde), UN3082, packing group III, hazard class 9. I have MSDS forms from various manufacturers of 10% neutral buffered formalin. They disagree as to the proper shipping name and UN classification. I have been informed by the manufacturer of the shipping box we use that the correct information should now be: Aviation regulated liquid, n.o.s. (10% buffered formalin), UN3334, no packing group, hazard class 9. We would appreciate confirmation that Aviation regulated liquid, n.o.s. (10% buffered formalin) UN3334, no packing group, hazard class 9 is the proper shipping name/description and shipping information. Thank you very much.

Respiratory sensitizer. Potential cancer hazard. Causes eye and skin irritation. Causes digestive and respiratory tract irritation. Contains Target Organs: Central nervous system. Potential Health Effects Eye: Causes eye irritation. Contact may cause ulceration of the conjunctiva and cornea. Skin: Causes skin irritation. May cause skin sensitization, an allergic reaction, which becomes evident upon re-exposure to this material. Ingestion: Causes gastrointestinal irritation with nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. May cause dizziness, drowsiness, and nausea. Advanced stages may cause collapse, unconsciousness, central nervous system depression, characterized by excitement, followed by headache, coma and possible death due to respiratory failure. May cause systemic toxicity including central nervous system depression, convulsions, coma, and possible death due to respiratory failure. https://fscimage.fishersci.com/msds/41127.htm 4/18/01 <<>> - Inhalation: May cause asthmatic attacks due to allergic sensitization of the respiratory tract. Chronic: Formaldehyde has been associated with nasal and nasopharyngeal cancers. Repeated exposure may cause skin discoloration and thickening and nail decay. Section 4 - First Aid Measures Eyes: Flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Get medical aid immediately. Do NOT allow victim to rub or keep eyes closed. Skin: Immediately flush skin with plenty of soap and water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical aid if irritation develops or persists. Wash clothing before reuse. Destroy contaminated shoes. Ingestion: Do NOT induce vomiting. If victim is conscious and alert, give. 2-4 cupfuls of milk or Inhalation: Get medical aid immediately. Remove from exposure to fresh air immediately. If water. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical aid immediately. breathing is difficult, give oxygen. DO NOT use mouth-to-mouth respiration. If breathing has and a mask. ceased apply artificial respiration using oxygen and a suitable mechanical device such as a bag Notes to Physician: Treat symptomatically and supportively. Section 5 - Firefighting Measures demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full protective gear. During a fire, irritating General Information: As in any fire, wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in pressure- and highly toxic gases may be generated by thermal decomposition or combustion. Use water spray to keep fire-exposed containers cool. Vapors may be heavier than air. They can spread along the ground and collect in low or confined areas. Containers may explode when heated. resistant foam. For large fires, use dry chemical, carbon dioxide, alcohol-resistant foam, or Extinguishing Media: For small fires, use dry chemical, carbon dioxide, water spray or alcohol- water spray. Cool containers with flooding quantities of water until well after fire is out. Section 6 - Accidental Release Measures General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated in Section 8. Spills/Leaks: Remove all sources of ignition. Absorb spill using an absorbent, non-combustible be used to reduce vapors. Water spray may reduce vapor but may not prevent ignition in closed material such as earth, sana, or vermiculite. Provide ventilation. A vapor suppressing foam may spaces. --- Section 7 - Handling and Storage Handling: Wash thoroughly after handling. Use only in a well-ventilated area. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Empty containers retain product residue, (liquid and/or vapor), and can be dangerous. Keep container tightly closed. Avoid contact with heat, sparks and flame. , Do not ingest or inhale. Do not pressurize, cut, weld, braze, solder, drill, grind, or expose empty containers to heat, sparks or open flames. Storage: Keep away from heat, sparks, and flame. Keep away from sources of ignition. Store in https://fscimage.fishersci.com/msds/41127.htm 4/18/01 <<>> • a tightly closed container. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances. Section 8 - Exposure Controls, Personal Protection yewash facility and a safety shower.
