Specifically, you ask if the proper shipping name must be marked\non the outside of a cargo tank in addition to the required placards and identification number\nmarkings for ammonia anhydrous and propane.\nThe answer is yes. A cargo tank containing a Class 2 material must be marked in\naccordance with Part 172, Subpart D and placarded in accordance with Part 172, Subpart F.\nA cargo tank containing a Class 2 material must be marked with the proper shipping name\nspecified in the Hazardous Materials Table (HMT; § 172.101), or an appropriate common\nname for the material (e.g., \"Refrigerant Gas\") in accordance with § 172.328. However,\n§ 172.328 provides an exception from the requirement to mark the proper shipping name or\ncommon name on certain nurse tanks that are marked in accordance with § 173.315(m).\nI hope this information is helpful. Please contact us if you require additional assistance.\nSincerely,\n/ Chief, Standards Development\nOffice of Hazardous Materials Standards\n172.328\n172.334\n172.519\n050012\n\n<<<PAGE 2>>>\n\nkicheblaub\n$172,334\n$172.519\nPlacarding\n05-0012\nQUESTiONS ABOUT PLACARDiNA FOR PROPANE AND ANHydROUS AmMONIA\nFOR PROPANE iS iT ALRiGHT To hAVE jusT N.N. 1075+ FLAMMABLE\nGAs oN ALL 4sidES\n4.N.1075)\nFLAMMABLE\nGAS\nFoA ANHyOROuS AmmOniA iS iT ALAigHT To HAVE jUST N.N.\n1005.
