Which class is used for Miscellaneous Hazardous Material?

• A. Class 1
• B. Class 9
• C. Class 4
• D. Class 7

Answer: (B)

Hazardous materials are grouped by the primary danger they pose, and there’s a catch‑all category for items that don’t fit into the other classes. This is Class 9, Miscellaneous Dangerous Goods. It’s used for materials that still pose hazards and require special handling, labeling, and documentation but aren’t explosives (Class 1), flammable solids (Class 4), or radioactive materials (Class 7). So when something can’t be placed in one of the specific classes, it goes into Class 9.
