Material authorized on cargo aircraft only. Passenger deviations are not authorized.
P2 Transport this material on cargo aircraft only. Passenger deviations are not authorized.
P3 Transport this material on cargo aircraft only. Deviations are authorized according to paragraph 2.2 and
attachment 22. Apply to radioactive material requiring a Yellow III label.
P4 Transport this material on cargo aircraft only. Deviations are authorized according to paragraph 2.2 and
attachment 22. DoD duty passengers do not require a deviation. Apply to radioactive material requiring a Yellow II
label.
P5 Transport this material on passenger or cargo aircraft without passenger restriction. Apply to radioactive
material requiring a White I or no label.
2. Additional Codes. The Special Provision column may provide material and/or packaging requirements. This

2
This material is poisonous by inhalation in Hazard Zone B, describe as an inhalation hazard.
3
This material is poisonous by inhalation in Hazard Zone C, describe as an inhalation hazard.
4
This material is poisonous by inhalation in Hazard Zone D, describe as an inhalation hazard.
5
If this material meets the defining criteria for a material poisonous by inhalation (49 CFR 173.116(a) or

1 material.
9
EPA in 40 CFR 761.60 and 761.65 prescribes packaging for certain PCBs for disposal and storage.
11 Package material either as a liquid or solid, as appropriate, depending on its physical form at 55 degrees C

50 degrees C (122 degrees F).
23 Classify this material as Class 4.1 only if it is packed so that the percentage of diluent will not fall below
that stated in the shipping description at any time during transport.
27 Sodium carbonate peroxyhydrate is considered nonhazardous.
