Shipping name changes
['Hazmat markings, Placards, and Labels']

- Markings are directly affected by factors including altered shipping names.
If the proper shipping name for a hazardous material in a bulk packaging has been changed, the bulk packaging may not need to be remarked if:
- The bulk packaging was marked before October 1, 1991, in conformance with the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR) in effect on September 30, 1991; and
- The marking contains the same key words as the current proper shipping name in the Hazardous Materials Table.
