ADR hazard number 842

Hazard identification number 842 on the orange plate: corrosive solid that gives off flammable gas on contact with water.

Printed in the upper half of the orange-coloured plate above the UN number, 842 identifies a corrosive solid that gives off flammable gas on contact with water. 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.

Digit by digit
8corrosive
4flammable solid, or a self-heating solid
2gas given off, either because of pressure or through a chemical reaction

Note. 5.3.2.3.1 lists 842 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).
