ADR hazard number X886
Hazard identification number X886 on the orange plate: highly corrosive, toxic substance that reacts dangerously with water.
Printed in the upper half of the orange-coloured plate above the UN number, X886 identifies a highly corrosive, toxic substance that reacts dangerously with water. A repeated figure means that hazard is intensified. The leading X warns that the substance reacts dangerously with water, so water may be applied only with expert approval.
| X | prefix X: the substance reacts dangerously with water; water may be used on it only with the approval of experts |
|---|---|
| 8 | corrosive |
| 8 | repeated 8: doubling a figure means that hazard (corrosive) is intensified |
| 6 | toxic, or a risk of infection |
Note. In the 5.3.2.3.2 list this entry carries footnote 1: water is not to be used except with the approval of experts. Number and meaning pairing checked against a second text extraction of the list.
