Is Engine Oil Classified as Hazardous Material for Transportation?
1 Answers
No. According to China's national standard GB6944-2012 "Classification and Code of Dangerous Goods", commonly hazardous chemicals are categorized into 7 classes based on their primary hazardous characteristics: Class 1: Explosives; Class 2: Compressed gases and liquefied gases; Class 3: Flammable liquids; Class 4: Flammable solids, substances liable to spontaneous combustion, and substances emitting flammable gases when wet; Class 5: Oxidizing substances and organic peroxides; Class 6: Toxic substances; Class 7: Corrosive substances. Engine oil doesn't possess flammable properties, strong corrosiveness, high volatility, or difficulties in packaging and storage/transportation. Therefore, engine oil isn't classified as hazardous material and isn't subject to hazardous material transportation and storage regulations.
