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.
