What must be displayed on a package containing dangerous goods?

Packages containing dangerous goods must display the UN number and the appropriate hazard labels to ensure safe handling, transportation, and emergency response. The UN number is a unique identifier assigned to hazardous materials by the United Nations, which aids in the identification of the type of substance being transported. This is crucial for responders in case of an incident or accident during transportation.

Appropriate hazard labels visually communicate the nature of the risks associated with the material, such as flammability, toxicity, or radioactivity, thus enabling handlers and emergency response teams to take necessary precautions.

Including information like the product price, best before date, or the manufacturer's address does not serve the purpose of ensuring safety and compliance with regulations regarding hazardous materials. Therefore, displaying the UN number and hazard labels is essential for risk management and adherence to legal requirements in the transportation of dangerous goods.
