What does Class 9 hazardous materials include?

Class 9 hazardous materials are categorized as miscellaneous hazardous materials and articles. This classification is used for substances that do not fit into the other more defined categories of hazardous materials, such as explosive, flammable, or corrosive materials. Class 9 may include materials that can pose a risk during transport but are not classified within more explicit hazard classes. This classification recognizes the diversity of potential hazards that may not be directly addressed in the more specific categories.

Understanding this classification is important for compliance with safety regulations and for ensuring that all materials transported are managed properly to mitigate risks associated with their handling. This emphasizes the importance of recognizing the potential risks of miscellaneous materials and ensuring proper labeling and response procedures are in place.
