Shipping names shown in Italics in the Hazardous Material Tables are:

• A. Are not proper shipping names
• B. Are the only proper shipping names
• C. Are standardized for international use
• D. Are used for internal labeling only

Answer: (A)

Shipping names shown in italics are not the proper shipping names. The regulation uses italics to indicate alternate or reference names, but the actual proper shipping name that must appear on shipping papers, labeling, and other official documents is the non-italicized form listed beside it. So the italicized entry doesn’t satisfy the PSN requirement. It isn’t implying those names are the only proper shipping names, nor that italics denote international standardization or internal labeling only.
