The absence of any hazard class or division or a blank space in the table indicates that no restrictions apply.
  • X: These materials may not be loaded, transported, or stored together in the same transport vehicle or storage facility during the course of transportation.
  • O: Indicates that these materials may not be loaded, transported or stored together in the same transport vehicle or storage facility during the course of transportation, unless separated in a manner that, in the event of leakage from packages under conditions normally incident to transportation, commingling of hazardous materials would not occur.
  • B: Radioactive I and II are not required to be placarded, and does not have segregation requirements. Radioactive III must be placarded in any quantity.
    • I - Extremely low radiation levels: Script error: No such module "convert". per hour.
    • II - Low radiation levels: >Script error: No such module "convert". per hour, on surface. Script error: No such module "convert". maximum at Script error: No such module "convert"..
    • III - Higher radiation levels: >Script error: No such module "convert"., on surface. Script error: No such module "convert". maximum at Script error: No such module "convert"..[1]
