1 Scope

China's mandatory national standard for the marking of vehicles carrying dangerous goods by road. The marking exists for the people who arrive after a crash: the fire crew who must know, before they get close, whether the load is a flammable liquid, a corrosive, a toxic gas or an oxidiser, because the response to each is different and the wrong one makes it worse. So the standard specifies the hazard placards and their placement on the vehicle and the tank, the orange plate carrying the hazard identification number and the UN number, the dimensions and colours that must be legible and recognisable at distance, and the retro-reflective performance that keeps them readable at night by the light of a headlamp. It applies to the vehicles used for the road transport of dangerous goods in China, and it is deliberately aligned with the international system so the marking reads the same across a border.

This document stipulates the classification, appearance and size, technical requirements, test methods, inspection rules, and standards of vehicle markings for road transportation of dangerous goods. identification, packaging and transportation, as well as product installation requirements and maintenance requirements during use. This document applies to the production and use of vehicle markings for road transportation of dangerous goods.
