{"text":"Is a Placard Ever Required for Class 9 Hazmat?\n\nNot in the United States. A class 9 placard is not required for domestic transportation. This includes the portion of international transportation, which occurs within the United States. However, a bulk packaging containing a class 9 hazmat must be marked with the appropriate identification (ID) number displayed on either a class 9 placard, an orange panel, or a white square on point (i.e., diamond), which is not considered a placard.\nNonbulk packagings of class 9 materials must be marked with the proper shipping name and the ID number of the material and be labeled.\n\nDo You Need an HME to Transport Class 9 Hazmat?\n\nAccording to Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) officials, the requirement to have a hazardous materials endorsement (HME) on your license is triggered by placarding. PHMSA requires yearly registration for anyone who offers or transports in commerce a hazardous material that requires placarding. In addition, Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMSCA) regulations require that anyone transporting a hazardous material that requires placarding have an HME on his or her commercial driver’s license (CDL).\nSo, a driver of a commercial motor vehicle transporting a class 9 hazmat that is excepted from placarding for domestic transportation is not required to obtain an HME for his or her CDL.\n","videos":"[]","link":"{}","pics":"[]","canComment":true}
