2.1 Flammable gases.

2.2 Non-flammable and non-toxic gases. Compressed gas, liquid gas, cryogenic gas, compressed gas in solution, asphyxiant gas and oxidizing gas. A non-flammable and non-toxic gas (Section 2.2) includes materials (mixtures) that:
1. Pressurizes the package to 280 kPa (40.6 psi) or 20C (68F), and
2. Do not meet the conditions of Section 2.1 or 2.3.

2.2 Gaseous oxygen. This requirement is not mandatory for non-flammable gases if the oxygen is in the liquid or gaseous state. Oxygen is considered non-flammable if it does not ignite due to its properties. However, it is used in the combustion process. A high concentration of oxygen significantly increases the intensity and strength of combustion.

2.3 Toxic, poisonous gases. When inhaled, a poisonous gas is considered to be a material that goes into a gaseous state at a temperature equal to or less than 20C and a pressure of 101.3 kPa (the boiling point of the material is equal to or less than 20C and a pressure of 101.3 kPa (14.7 psi)), and which:
1. Refers to toxic substances that cause a risk to human health during transportation, or
2. In the absence of information on the degree of toxicity, it is considered toxic to humans, based on the results of analysis performed on animals, has an LC50 value of 5000 ml / m3.

Flammable liquids, mixtures of liquids, and liquids containing solids in solution or suspension that give off flammable vapors having a closed cup flash point of 60°C or below.

The main danger is fire.

4.1 Flammable solids capable of being easily ignited by short-term exposure to external sources of ignition (sparks, flames or friction) and burning actively.The main danger is fire and the additional danger is thermal instability - explosion.Desensitized explosives which may cause a dry explosion and are classified in Class 1 and have been given a name and a shipping name and are classified in a hazard class.
Self-reactive substances that are thermally unstable and subject to exothermic decomposition even without exposure to air.
Combustible solids that can cause ignition by friction at a burning rate greater than 2.2 mm (0.087 inches) per second, or metal powder that can ignite and react on the entire surface of the sample within 10 minutes.

4.2 Self-igniting substances which, under normal conditions of transport, may spontaneously heat up and ignite.The main danger is self-ignition.Self-igniting substances are pyrophoric substances in liquid or solid form, which within five (5) minutes may ignite upon contact with air or self-heating materials, which in turn are subject to spontaneous combustion.

4.3 Substances which emit flammable gases.The main hazard is flammable gases (eg calcium carbide).Hazardous in contact with water, and may spontaneously ignite or release toxic gas at 1 liter per kilogram of material within 1 hour.

5.1 Oxidizing substances which are not themselves combustible, but contribute to the easy flammability of other substances and release oxygen when burned, thereby increasing the intensity of the fire.

The main danger is oxidation.

1. Solid materials, Section 5.1, which, after testing in accordance with UN Regulations, have a burning time less than or equal to 3:7 that of potassium bromate/cellulose.
2. Liquid materials, Section 5.1, which, after testing in accordance with UN Regulations, are spontaneously combustible or whose pressure rise time from 690 kPa to 2070 kPa is less than that of 1:1 nitric acid (65 percent)/cellulose.

5.2 Organic peroxides, which are flammable in most cases, can act as oxidizing agents and interact dangerously with other substances. Many of them catch fire easily and are sensitive to impact and friction.

The main danger is thermal instability, that is, an explosion is possible when heated.

Organic peroxide (Section 5.2) includes: any carbon compounds containing oxygen (O) with a divalent -O-O- bond, as well as being products of carbon compounds in the structure of which one or more hydrogen atoms are replaced by organic radicals, until then until the following conditions are met:

2. Transportation of materials prohibited under 49CFR 172.101 or 49CFR 173.21;
3. The Associate Administrator for Explosive Substances has determined that the material is not hazardous under Section 5.2; or
4. One of the following conditions is met:
1. For materials containing more than 1.0 percent hydrogen peroxide, the oxygen content as calculated in paragraph (a)(4)(ii) is less than 1.0 percent, or
2. For materials containing more than 1.0 percent but not more than 7.0 percent hydrogen peroxide

6.1 Poisonous (toxic) substances that can cause poisoning by inhalation (fumes, dust), ingestion or skin contact.The main danger is toxicity.

6.2 Substances and materials containing pathogens that are dangerous to humans and animals.The main danger is infection.
