Define Hazardous Material Table

This document explains the settings for managing hazardous material.

Outcome

Required fields from Hazardous Material Transportation Regulation table (CFR49) are saved in 'Hazardous Material table. Open' (CRS213) table (MTUNNA). You can use the records later to define the hazardous classification of an item.

Before you start

You must define danger class in 'Danger Class. Open' (CRS210).

You can add information about the material in 'Supplementary Information. Open'(CRS214). These are the examples of supplementary information:

  • marine pollutant
  • waste
  • molten
  • stabilized
  • solution
  • mixture

Follow these steps

  1. Start (CRS213).
  2. On panel E, specify the ID type. These are the options:
    • 1 = UN: for international transportation or domestic transportation
    • 2 = NA: for transportation in the United States
  3. Click New.
  4. On (CRS213/E), specify these fields:
    • Identification Number (IDNM): UN number or NA number, depending on the type specified. This identification number is a four-digit number that is assigned to specific hazardous materials and substances for transportation and regulatory purposes.
    • Proper shipping name (PSHN): The hazardous materials description and proper shipping names.
    • Supplementary information (EXTN): Chosen from (CRS214), the field indicates the supplementary information about the hazardous substance.
    • Packing group (PCKG): The field indicates the degree of danger posed by the material.

      These are the options:

      • I= High danger
      • II= Medium danger
      • III= Low danger
    • RQ value (RVQA): The field indicates reportable quantity (RQ) for a Hazardous Substance in kilogram.
    • Danger class 1, Danger class 2, Danger class 3: These fields indicate the label codes.
    • Symbol: The field indicates the hazardous symbols that provide additional information about the requirements or restrictions for a specific hazardous material. These are the examples of symbols:
      • A - Aircraft transportation
      • D - Domestic transportation
      • G - Generic description
      • I - International transportation
      • W - Vessel transportation

Each record is identified by a unique ID number (HMID) in table MTUNNA. This ID is system-generated and has no other purposes than identifying one record.

(CRS213) can also be managed using API CRS213MI.
