UN 2212 Asbestos, amphibole UN Rec. 23rd rev. ed. (Shortinfo)

Asbestos which is immersed or fixed in a natural or artificial binder (such as cement, plastics, asphalt, resins or mineral ore) in such a way that no escape of hazardous quantities of respirable asbestos fibres can occur during transport is not subject to these Regulations. Manufactured articles containing asbestos and not meeting this provision are nevertheless not subject to these Regulations when packaged so that no escape of hazardous quantities of respirable asbestos fibres can occur during transport.

For the purposes of documentation and package marking, the proper shipping name shall be supplemented with the technical name (see 3.1.2.8). For UN 3077 and UN 3082 only, the technical name may be a name shown in capital letters in column 2 of the Dangerous Goods List, provided that this name does not include "N.O.S." and that special provision 274 is not assigned. The name which most appropriately describes the substance or mixture shall be used, e.g.: UN 3082, ENVIRONMENTALLY HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCE, LIQUID, N.O.S. (PAINT) UN 3082, ENVIRONMENTALLY HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCE, LIQUID, N.O.S. (PERFUMERY PRODUCTS)
