What information must be included on munition markings and labels?

• A. Hazard class/division and UN number only.
• B. Item name and manufacturer's code only.
• C. Quantity and handling restrictions only.
• D. Item name, hazard class/division, UN number (if applicable), lot/control numbers, quantity, and handling restrictions.

Answer: (D)

Markings and labels on munitions must convey identification and safety requirements clearly to anyone handling them. The complete package includes the item name so you know exactly what the item is, the hazard class/division to identify the type of danger and the level of risk, the UN number when applicable to transport dangerous goods, lot or control numbers for traceability and quality checks, the quantity for inventory and shipping, and any handling restrictions to guide safe storage and use. Together, this information supports proper identification, regulatory compliance, traceability, and safe handling throughout the lifecycle of the munition.
