Marking and Labeling of Packages
Containing Cylinders of Bromine Trifluoride (BrF₃)
(chemical cutter cylinders)

On October 1, 1998, new rules (HM-206) go into effect that will change the labeling of packages containing bromine trifluoride. Previously, one of the subsidiary labels required was the Poison 6 label (below, left). With implementation of HM-206, for poisons that are also inhalation hazards, such as bromine trifluoride, that label is being replaced with a new Inhalation Hazard label (below, right).

Subsidiary risk label for bromine trifluoride (use until 10/1/99)

Subsidiary risk label for bromine trifluoride (use on/after 10/1/99, voluntary use authorized now)

The example below illustrates proper labeling and marking of packages containing bromine trifluoride.

Transport Vehicle Placarding Requirements
for Shipments of Bromine Trifluoride (BrF₃)
(chemical cutter cylinders)

Best viewed at 800x600 or higher resolution

Shipping Combinations	Placards Required
BrF₃ only
BrF₃ + 1.4¹
BrF₃ + 4.1
BrF₃ + 1.4¹ + 4.1

¹ When transporting by air cargo, the * shown in the 1.4 placard must be replaced with the applicable compatibility group (i.e., D for 1.4D, S for 1.4S)
