Cleveland\n125 Kossutz Street\nRef. No. 05-0170\nPiscataway N.J. 08854\nDear Mr. Cleveland:\nThis is in response to your request for clarification of requirements to identify poisonous\nmaterials on shipping papers under the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR Parts\n171-180). Specifically, you ask whether the word \"poison\" must appear as part of a shipping\ndescription if the wording \"6.l\" or \"poison\" already appears in the shipping description.\nThe answer is no. In accordance with 49 CFR 172.203 (m)(1), if a liquid or solid material meets\nthe definition of Division 6.1, Packing Group I or II, and has the hazard class entry or the word\n\"poison\" as part of the shipping description, duplication of the word \"poison\" is not required.\nNote that in accordance with § 172.203 (m)(2), materials that are poisonous by inhalation must\ninclude the words \"Poison-Inhalation Hazard\" and the words \"Zone A\", \"Zone B\" \"Zone C\" or\n\"Zone D\", for gases or \"Zone A\" or \"Zone B\" for liquids as appropriate, immediately following\nthe shipping description. If the word \"poison\" already appears in the shipping description, only\nthe words \"Inhalation Hazard\" must appear.\nI hope this information is helpful. Please contact us if you require additional assistance\nSincerely\nChief, Standards Development\nOffice of Hazardous Materials Standards\n172•203\n050170\n\n<<<PAGE 2>>>\n\nReterford\n§112.203\nProper Shipping Name\n125 Kossutz Strzet\n05-0170\nPiscatoway, MV.T.\nZp 08854\n1h- 731-752-8608\nPn. 1008-742-0585\nFox 132-751-7009\nGo: 4.5 Dopant at of as potato\n400 SerEnt Staset, SW.\nWashington, D.C., 20590\nSTA: Mr Jot A.
