UN Numbers (ID Number)

Some of these DOT placards have four-digit numbers in the middle.

These numbers, usually ranging from 0004-3534, are called

United Nations

(U.N.) numbers, and are assigned by the U.N. to help identify hazardous international cargo, or the specific class of hazardous international cargo that is traveling in the U.S.

Some hazardous chemicals have specific HAZMAT U.N. numbers, like chlorine, which is designated as U.N. 3520, while other hazardous materials have a more common designation. Flammable liquids, for example, are designated with a U.N. 1203 placard, while combustible liquids are assigned the U.N. 1993 placard.

Slide5

NA Numbers (ID Number)

Some materials that aren’t classified or regulated by the U.N. will receive North American (NA) numbers. These numbers are four-digit numbers that range from 8000-9279 and are assigned by the DOT.

All UN/NA labels come with a hazard identifier that determines the cargo’s hazard class, sub class and compatibility group.
