DOT identification numbers

Caustic soda is classified as a corrosive material by the DOT and DOT regulations and specifications must be followed for handling, labeling, and transportation in containers. Warning labels are recommended for containers of caustic soda solutions and anhydrous caustic soda by the MCA (79). The DOT identification number is UN1824 for 50 or 73% Hquid, and UN1823 for anhydrous caustic. 

DOT Identification Numbers Four-digit numbers proceeded by UN (United Nations) or NA (North American) that are used to identify the particular hazardous materials for regulation of transportation (e.g., the UN code number for chlorine trifluoride is UN1749). Haz Mat Response Teams (HMRTs) often refer to such numbers to identify specific chemicals listed in the Department of Transportation s Emergency Response Guidebook Double Gloving An additional set of gloves worn in addition to the already in-place protection. 

CAS/DOT IDENTIFICATION Organic arsenic compounds have variable CAS s. The CAS for arsenic is 7440-38-2. The DOT identification numbers for metallic arsenic and arsenic dust are 1558 and 1562, respectively. 

CAS/DOT IDENTIFICATION Chromates have variable CAS s and variable DOT identification numbers. The CAS for chromic acid is 133-82-0. The DOT identification numbers for chromic acid are as follows UN1463/NA 1463 (acid, solid), UNI755 (acid, solution). 

CAS/DOT IDENTIFICATION Cyanides have variable CAS s. THE CAS for potassium cyanide is 151-50-8. The CAS for sodium cyanide is 143-33-9. Cyanides have variable DOT identification numbers. The DOT identification numbers for potassium cyanide and sodium cyanide are UN1680 and UN1689, respectively. 

CAS/DOT IDENTIFICATION The CAS for nickel is 7440-02-0. The insoluble compounds of nickel have variable CAS s. The CAS for nickel carbonate is 3333-67-3 the CAS for nickel sulfide is 16812-54-7. The DOT Identification number for nickel and the insoluble compounds of nickel is not available. 

CAS/DOT IDENTIFICATION Soluble platinum salts have variable CAS s. The CAS for platinum is 7440-06-4. There is no DOT identification number listed for platinum in the literature. 

CAS/DOT IDENTIFICATION Soluble thallium compounds have variable CAS s. TTie CAS for thallium is 7440-28-0. The DOT identification number for soluble thallium compounds is UNI707.

DOT Identification Number. A four-digit number, developed by U.S. Department of Transportation, used to identify a material for regulation of its transport. The number is called Product Identification Numbers (PIN) under the Canadian Transportation of Dangerous Goods Regulations. When used internationally it may carry a UN prefix, but those only in North America have an NA prefix. 

Product identification number (PIN). A four-digit number, prefaced by UN or NA, used in Canada under the Transportation of Dangerous Goods Regulation for use by emergency personnel to identify a material in the event of an accident. See also DOT identification number, propellant. A liquefied gas used to supply force to expel a contained product. 

All common identifiers such as name, synonyms, CAS Registry Number, molecular formula, molecular weight, Wiss-wesser Line Notation, RTECS, RCRA, and DOT identification numbers, and Standard Tariff Commodity Code (STCC) are included for almost every chemical. The data in CHEMTOX are taken from lists published in the U.S. Federal Register and the Code of Federal Regulations, U.S. government publications, core journals, books, technical reports, and manufacturers safety data sheets.
