Specifically, you ask whether your understanding is correct\nthat a hazardous material—in your case “UN3103, Organic peroxide type C, liquid, 5.2, (tert-\nButyl hydroperoxide, >79-90%)”—requires both a Division 5.2 hazard label and a Class 8\nhazard label, when Column 8 (Notes) of the § 173.225 Table 1 to paragraph (c) - Organic\nPeroxide Table assigns a number “13.”\nYour understanding is correct. As indicated in § 173.225(c)(8), Column 8 specifies other\napplicable provisions, as set forth in the notes following the Table 1 to paragraph (c) - Organic\nPeroxide Table. Specifically, Note 13 states a corrosive subsidiary risk label is required.\nTherefore, any material listed in the table that is assigned “13” in Column 8 requires a Class 8\n(corrosive) subsidiary hazard label, along with the primary hazard label.\nI hope this information is helpful. Please contact us if we can be of further assistance.\nSincerely,\nDirk Der Kinderen\nChief, Standards Development Branch\nStandards and Rulemaking Division\n\n<<<PAGE 2>>>\n\nBaker\n22-0080\nFrom: Casey, Candace (PHMSA)\nTo: Dodd, Alice (PHMSA)\nSubject: FW: Clarification Letter of Interpretation Note 13 Organic Peroxide Table 49 CFR 173.225\nDate: Monday, August 8, 2022 3:15:51 PM\nAttachments: Clarification Organic Peroxide Table Note 13 49 CFR 173.225.docx\nHi Alice,\nI think this interp was never assigned.
