| ||||||
A substance which— (a) has a critical temperature below 50°C or which at 50°C has a vapour pressure of more than 3 bars absolute; and (b) is carried at a pressure of more than 500 millibars above atmospheric pressure or in liquefied form, other than a toxic gas or a flammable gas. | Non-flammable compressed gas |  | ||||
| A substance which has a critical temperature below 50°C or which at 50°C has a vapour pressure of more than 3 bars absolute and which is toxic. | Toxic gas |  | ||||
| A substance which has a critical temperature below 50°C or which at 50°C has a vapour pressure of more than 3 bars absolute and is flammable(see Note 1). | Flammable gas |  | ||||
A liquid with a flash point of 55°C or below except a liquid which— (a) has a flash point equal to or more than 21°C and less than or equal to 55°C; and (b) when tested at 55°C in the manner described in Schedule 2 to the Highly Flammable Liquids and Liquefied Petroleum Gases Regulations 1972(1) does not support combustion. (see Notes 1 and 2) | Flammable liquid |  | ||||
| A solid which is readily combustible under conditions encountered in carriage or which may cause or contribute to fire through friction. | Flammable solid |  | ||||
| A substance which is liable to spontaneous heating under conditions encountered in carriage or to heating in contact with air being then liable to catch fire. | Spontaneously combustible substance |  | ||||
| A substance which in contact with water is liable to become spontaneously combustible or to give off a flammable gas. | Substance which in contact with water emits flammable gas |  | ||||
| A substance other than an organic peroxide which, although not necessarily combustible, may by yielding oxygen or by a similar process cause or contribute to the combustion of other material. | Oxidizing substance |  | ||||
A substance which is— (a) an organic peroxide; and (b) an unstable substance which may undergo exothermic self-accelerating decomposition. | Organic peroxide |  | ||||
| A substance known to be so toxic to man as to afford a hazard to health during conveyance or which, in the absence of adequate data on human toxicity, is presumed to be toxic to man. | Toxic substance |  | ||||
| A substance known to be toxic to man or, in the absence of adequate data on human toxicity, is presumed to be toxic to man but which is unlikely to afford a serious acute hazard to health during carriage. | Harmful substance |  | ||||
A substance which by chemical action will— (a) cause severe damage when in contact with living tissue; (b) materially damage other freight or equipment if leakage occurs. | Corrosive substance |  | ||||
| A substance which is listed in Part II of the approved carriage list and which may create a risk to the health or safety of persons in the conditions encountered in carriage whether or not it has any of the characteristic properties referred to above. | Other dangerous substance |  | ||||
| Packages containing two or more dangerous substances which have different characteristic properties. | Mixed hazards |  | ||||
