Symbols Used in Hazmat Table, Column 1

Column 1 uses six symbols to identify hazardous materials with special shipping conditions —
such as restrictions for air, domestic, international, or water vessel transport.

Symbol Meaning

+ Fixes the proper shipping name, hazard class, and packing group without regard
to whether the material meets the definition of that class or packing group, or
meets any other hazard class definition.

A Restricts the application of the requirements to materials offered for transportation by

aircraft — unless the material is a hazardous substance or hazardous waste.

D Identifies proper shipping names which are appropriate for domestic

transportation, but which may be inappropriate for international
transportation.

G Identifies proper shipping names for which one or more technical names must be
entered in parentheses, in association with the basic description.

I Identifies proper shipping names which are appropriate for international

transportation. An alternate proper shipping name may be selected when only
domestic transportation is involved.

W Restricts the application of the requirements to materials offered for transportation

by vessel — unless the material is a hazardous substance or hazardous waste.
