What defines a Shipping Name in relation to hazardous materials?

A Shipping Name in the context of hazardous materials refers to the standardized name used to identify a particular type of hazardous substance during transport, and it is always recorded alongside the associated UN number. This combination helps ensure that emergency responders, transporters, and regulatory authorities can accurately identify the materials involved should any incidents arise during transit.

The shipping name, when linked to its UN number, provides critical information about the hazards related to the material and informs how it should be handled, stored, and transported safely. By adhering to this standardized naming and numbering system, it reduces ambiguity and enhances safety measures in the shipping process of dangerous goods.
