Do you need placards for Class 3?
In your scenario the vehicle must display the Class 3 placard with the identification number (1993) – because it is in a bulk packaging – but not the Class 8 placard – because it's gross aggregate weight (not counting the Class 3 tote) is <454 kg (1,001 lbs).
CLASS 3 Flammable Liquid and Combustible Liquid
gASOLIne may be used in place of FLAMMABLe placard displayed on a cargo tank or portable tank transporting gasoline by highway. Placard combustible liquid transported in bulk. See §172.504(f)(2) for use of FLAMMABLe placard in place of COMBuStIBLe.
No Placards are required for class 8 hazardous material for shipments under 500 KG and when no ERAP is met.
Placarding requirements do not apply to: Infectious substances. Hazardous materials classed as ORM-D. Hazardous materials authorized by the regulations to be offered for transportation as a limited quantity when identified as such on a shipping paper.
However, when 1,000 kg (2,205 lbs) or more of one category of material is loaded at one loading facility, the placard specified in table 2 must be applied. For CORROSIVe, placard 454 kg (1,001 lbs) or more. For FLAMMABLe, placard 454 kg (1,001 lbs) or more.
Class 9 Placarding Requirements
In general, a hazmat placard must be displayed on any of the following when they contain any quantity of a hazardous material: a transport vehicle, freight container, unit load device, bulk packaging, or rail car (49 CFR 172.504(a)).
DOT Placard: Hazard Class 3 - Flammable Liquids (Fuel Oil)
ORM-D or limited quantity only (dependent on flashpoint). Gasoline and items containing gasoline or gasoline fumes are always prohibited.
Manufacturers then publish a list of required placards and the verbiage to use. Interior and exterior placard requirements can be found in Chapter 11 of the aircraft maintenance manual or illustrated parts catalog. They usually identify the placards required by the FAA.
Generally, labels are displayed on small means of containment (capacity less than or equal to 450 L) and placards are displayed on large means of containment (capacity greater than 450 L). For example, labels would be displayed on a box, while a placard would be displayed on a truck carrying the box.
Whose responsibility is it to supply the required placards?
Even though the regulations state that it is the shipper's responsibility to provide the proper placards, the driver and motor carrier must make sure the shipment is in full compliance with the same regulations.
Removal of any TDG Placards: The customer must remove any TDG/Hazmat placards once that freight has been removed from the container.
Placarding (Chapter 5.3): The general rule for placarding within IMDG is “if there is a label on the package, then a placard is required.” So, if our packages of batteries are labeled with a Class 9 lithium battery hazard label, we will need a placard.
An exception from placarding:
Transport is by highway or rail. Other modes (air and vessel) have other placarding requirements.
Also, no placards are necessary when shipping by ground. Shipping papers are not required unless it is a Reportable Quantity, a Marine Pollutant, or a Hazardous Waste. If shipping papers are used, they must include “limited quantity” or “ltd qty” on the paperwork.
The answer is yes, provided the handwritten identification number markings meet all the requirements under §s172.
Choose a place card with a colorful border to add all the flair you need, and write guests' names and table numbers in the same color pen. Write a message inside folded tent-style cards, such as a note from you, thanking them for attending, or a romantic quote.
You can decide which placards to use if you know these three things: Material's hazard class. Amount being shipped. Amount of all hazardous materials of all classes on your vehicle.
A placard is a dangerous goods safety mark that is displayed on a large means of containment (MOC). It is used to identify dangerous goods and to show the nature of the danger they pose.

A visor card guide for state and local law enforcement officials illustrating vehicle placarding and signage for the following nine classes of hazardous materials: 1) Explosives, 2) Gases, 3) Flammable Liquid and Combustible Liquid, 4) Flammable Solid, Spontanaeously Combustible and Dangerous When Wet 5) Oxidizer and ...
Some of the classes can be further divided into divisions, e.g., Class 1, while others do not have sub-divisions, e.g., Class 3.
Commonly transported class 3 dangerous goods include acetone, adhesives, paints, gasoline, perfume, ethanol, methanol and some pesticides with flammable solvents.
Class III hazardous locations, according to the NEC, are areas where there are Easily ignitable fibers or flyings present, due to the types of materials being handled, stored, or processed.
§172.504(a): Except as otherwise provided, a bulk packaging containing any hazardous material must display the applicable placard on all four sides. §172.514(c): An IBC may display placards on two opposing sides or it may display HazMat labels according to subpart E.
Placards are a source of information identifying the type of hazard the hazardous material being shipped poses. They are a key component of an international system of hazard communication that also includes shipping paper, package marking and labeling requirements.
Labels indicate what kind and how much radioactive material is inside the package. Placards are more durable standard hazmat identifiers, designed to meet certain specifications, and placed on outer containers, trucks, cylinders, or other vehicles used for transport. These are not made of paper.
- Red placards indicate the material is flammable;
- Green placards indicate the material is non-flammable;
- Yellow placards indicate the material is an oxidizer;
- Blue placards indicate the material is dangerous when wet;
- White placards indicate the material is an inhalation hazard and/or poison;
What are the mandatory labeling requirements?
Mandatory Labeling Elements
statement of identity (name of the food); net quantity of contents; nutrition facts; ingredient statement (including allergen declaration); and.
All labels are required to have pictograms, a signal word, hazard and precautionary statements, the product identifier, and supplier identification. A sample revised HCS label, identifying the required label elements, is shown on the right. Supplemental information can also be provided on the label as needed.
The Fair Packaging and Labeling Act (FPLA or Act), enacted in 1967, directs the Federal Trade Commission and the Food and Drug Administration to issue regulations requiring that all "consumer commodities" be labeled to disclose net contents, identity of commodity, and name and place of business of the product's ...

The limited quantity is the maximum quantity per inner packaging or article for transporting dangerous goods as limited quantities. It can be found in the column 7a of Dangerous Goods List. In the example below, the limited quantity for antimony compounds is 5kg per inner packaging.
ORM-D or limited quantity only (dependent on flashpoint). Gasoline and items containing gasoline or gasoline fumes are always prohibited.
Radiation-warning Labels
Some radioactive material packages do not require labels. Bulk packages containing large volumes of low-level radioactive material may not require labels although vehicle placards may be required. When required, labels must be applied to opposite sides of the package.
