Not all information is required on hazmat shipping papers; identify the item that is not required.

• A. Proper shipping name
• B. Emergency contact
• C. Manufacturer's preferred color of container
• D. UN number

Answer: (C)

On hazmat shipping papers, the important goal is to convey exactly what material is being shipped and how to respond to an incident. That means including identifiers like the proper shipping name and the UN number so the material is clearly named, the hazard class or division and packing group when required, the total quantity and packaging details, and an emergency contact for responders. The color of the container isn’t part of the regulatory data used to identify the hazard or guide response, and it can vary widely between shipments. Therefore, the container color isn’t required on shipping papers.
