Remark: |
1 Some hazardous substances have their own UN numbers (e.g. acrylamide has UN2074), while sometimes groups of chemicals or products with similar properties have a common UN number (e.g. flammable liquids, not otherwise specified, have UN1993). A chemical in its solid state may have a different UN number than the liquid phase if their hazardous properties differ significantly; substances with different levels of purity (or concentration in solution) may also receive different UN numbers.
2 Regional authorities may use additional numbers, e.g. the NA-number (North-America number), syn. DOT number, issued by the United States Department of Transportation, deviating from the UN number, indicating substances or its combinations which are not listed in the UN number list, starting with NA8000. |
