The Mixed Class Label is used as a placard on cargo transport units transporting more than one class or division of dangerous goods, or a load that requires placarding based on the combined quantity calculation specified in Note 5 of Table 5.3 of the Australian Dangerous Goods Code for Road & Rail (Placard Load).
This is not a package label. It is used as a transport placard and is only valid for road or rail transport within Australia.
Key functions
- Indicates mixed hazard: It signals that a cargo transport unit contains a variety of dangerous goods, each belonging to different hazard classes or divisions.
- Enhances safety: The label provides a visual warning for anyone handling the cargo and is critical for emergency services responding to incidents like spills or fires.
- Facilitates emergency response: It helps first responders quickly identify that there is not just one type of hazard but a combination, which is crucial for determining the appropriate response measures.
