DOT Hazardous Material Placards, Class 9, Miscellaneous Hazardous Material, International/Canadian
These 10.75" x 10.75" Class 9 Miscellaneous hazardous materials placards conform to the Canadian Transportation of Dangerous Goods (TDG) Class 9 placard specifications. Featuring the standard black-and-white Class 9 design with seven black vertical stripes extending through the upper half and an underlined 9 in the lower portion, these placards are designed for identifying Class 9 miscellaneous products, substances or organisms when placarding is required under Canadian TDG regulations.
TDG: Class 9 — Miscellaneous Products, Substances or Organisms; placard specified under TDG Regulations Part 4. The Canadian TDG design has seven black vertical stripes forming 13 equally spaced black-and-white stripes in the upper half, with no horizontal line connecting the stripes.
DOT: This placard does not conform to the specific Class 9 placard design in 49 CFR §172.560, which specifies stripes extending to one inch above the horizontal centerline, see item # 03121. However, DOT regulations permit a placard conforming to Canadian TDG requirements to be used in place of the corresponding DOT placard under specified conditions.
DOT/TDG: This product is Canadian TDG compliant and is not represented as conforming to the standard DOT Class 9 placard design.
These placards are sold in packages of 25 or 100 only.
They are available in three different materials:
