ADR hazard number 40
Hazard identification number 40 on the orange plate: flammable solid, a self-reactive substance, a self-heating substance or a polymerizing substance.
Printed in the upper half of the orange-coloured plate above the UN number, 40 identifies a flammable solid, a self-reactive substance, a self-heating substance or a polymerizing substance. The trailing zero shows that the first figure alone describes the hazard.
| 4 | flammable solid, or a self-heating solid |
|---|---|
| 0 | no further hazard: a single figure describes the hazard adequately, so it is followed by zero |
Note. Number and meaning pairing checked against a second text extraction of the list.
