ADR special provision 318
Add the technical name to the shipping name; for suspected but unknown Category A substances, show the suspected Category A wording in brackets.
For documentation the technical name has to be added to the proper shipping name, as 3.1.2.8 describes. Where the infectious substances are unknown but thought to meet Category A and to belong under UN 2814 or UN 2900, the transport document shows the words 'suspected Category A infectious substance' in parentheses after the proper shipping name.
