ADR 5.2
How to mark a dangerous goods package
Every package with dangerous goods carries the class label and the UN number — and, depending on the cargo, orientation arrows and the environmentally hazardous mark. The example below shows UN 1203 (petrol, Class 3).
Example — UN 1203, Class 3, liquid. Packagings allowed by Table A column 8.
The four marks that matter

The danger label(s) from Table A column 5, minimum 100×100 mm, on one side of the packaging.
