TEST 1. – IDENTIFY AND EXPLAIN

1. Different types of dangerous goods for transport purposes, dangerous goods are
allocated to one of nine ‘classes’, according to the main danger they present.
These are as follows:

spon comb4
1. means a solid or liquid substance (or a mixture of substances) which is in itself
capable by chemical reaction of producing gas at such a temperature and pressure and at such
a speed
as to cause damage to the surroundings

2.
describes a substance such as uranium or plutonium that emits energy in the form of streams of particles, owing to the
decaying of its unstable atoms.
This energy can be damaging or fatal to the health of people exposed to it.

3. Substances (solids and liquids) which, by interaction with water, are liable to become
spontaneously
flammable or to give off flammable gases in dangerous quantities.

4. Organic peroxides are thermally unstable substances which may undergo exothermic self-
accelerating
decomposition.

5. means substances which, by chemical action, will cause severe

damage when in contact with living tissue or, in the case of leakage, will materially damage, or
even destroy,
other goods or the means of transport.

6. liquids, or mixtures of liquids, or liquids containing solids In solution or suspensionwhich give off a flammable vapour at or below
60°C closed-cup test (corresponding to 65.6"C open-cup test), normally referred to as the "flashpoint

7. Substances (solids and liquids) which are liable to spontaneous heating under normal
conditions encountered
in transport, or to heating up in contact with air, and being then liable to catch fire;

8.compressed, liquefied, refrigerated,dissolved

9. in themselves not necessarily combustible, may, generally by yielding oxygen, cause,
or contribute to, the combustion of other material.

10These are substances liable either to cause death or serious injury or to harm human health if
swallowed or
inhaled, or by skin contact.
