ADR hazard number 606
Hazard identification number 606 on the orange plate: infectious substance.
Printed in the upper half of the orange-coloured plate above the UN number, 606 identifies an infectious substance. This is one of the figure combinations that 5.3.2.3.1 gives a special meaning, read as a whole rather than figure by figure.
| 6 | toxic, or a risk of infection |
|---|---|
| 0 | no further hazard: a single figure describes the hazard adequately, so it is followed by zero |
| 6 | toxic, or a risk of infection |
Note. 5.3.2.3.1 lists 606 among the combinations with a special meaning, so read it as a whole from the 5.3.2.3.2 list; the per-figure reading in digits[] does not fully apply. Number and meaning pairing checked against a second text extraction of the list.
Refers to: 5.3.2.3.1; 5.3.2.2.3; Table A column (20).
