These 10.75" x 10.75" Class 9 Miscellaneous Hazardous Materials placards meet U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) placard specifications. Featuring the standard black-and-white Class 9 design with seven black vertical stripes in the upper portion, a horizontal line connecting the stripes, and an underlined 9 in the lower portion, these placards are designed for identifying Class 9 miscellaneous hazardous materials when placarding is required under DOT regulations.
