Overview

The Class 6 Infectious Substance Sign identifies Division 6.2 dangerous goods containing pathogens capable of causing disease in humans or animals.

Compatibility and Fitment

Confirm that the transported material requires Division 6.2 identification. Unlike Division 6.1 toxic substances, which use a skull and crossbones symbol, infectious substances use the internationally recognised biohazard symbol. Not all biological samples or clinical waste consignments require this particular marking.

Check that the 250 x 250mm dimensions suit the mounting position. The plastic version suits separate mounting arrangements, while the sticker requires a clean, dry and smooth application surface.

Compliance and Safety

Division 6.2 covers substances known or reasonably expected to contain pathogens capable of causing disease. Check the assigned UN number, dangerous goods classification and transport documentation before displaying this marking.

The sign does not replace approved packaging, containment or handling procedures. Keep the biohazard symbol and warning text visible and legible, and replace damaged or faded signage.

Trailer Applications

Division 6.2 markings identify infectious substances on applicable dangerous goods transport vehicles, trailers and freight containers. They also support hazard identification during relevant medical, laboratory and clinical waste transport operations where this classification marking is required.

Why Choose ICS Trailers

Infectious substance transport requires the correct hazard identification, particularly where Division 6.1 toxic markings and Division 6.2 biohazard markings may be confused. ICS Trailers can help compare your existing sign, 250 x 250mm dimensions and mounting arrangement before selecting a replacement for your transport equipment.

• Choose between plastic and sticker options, with a separate sign holder available for suitable rigid mounting arrangements.
• Send through a photo of the existing marking or transport application details if you need assistance selecting the correct format.
