Hazardous Materials Table
['Hazardous Materials Table']
The Hazardous Materials Table (HMT) provides a majority of the information needed to properly prepare a hazardous material for shipment. This information is divided into 10 columns within the HMT. (See 49 CFR 172.101.)
The HMT doesn’t spell out every hazardous material by name. Instead, it gives you approved descriptions and proper shipping names to choose from. Your job is to pick the one that best fits your material, and you can only use names or descriptions that appear in the HMT.
| Column 1 | Symbols |
| Column 2 | Hazardous materials descriptions and proper shipping names |
| Column 3 | Hazard class or division |
| Column 4 | Identification numbers |
| Column 5 | PG (packing group) |
| Column 6 | Label codes |
| Column 7 | Special provisions |
| Column 8 | Packaging (173.***) |
| Column 9 | Quantity limitations |
| Column 10 | Vessel stowage |
