wastes should also include, where possible, the following information:
    * the identity of any known or likely hazardous constituents or impurities and their proportions (for example, 'contains chromium VI, 5%', or 'may contain trace levels of organic peroxides')
    * relevant precautionary statements
    * relevant first aid and safety directions
    * any other information that may assist identification of the hazardous waste and its associated hazards.
If you have made every reasonable attempt to identify and classify the chemical waste and have been unsuccessful, you should clearly indicate this on the label.

3.6 Hazardous chemicals classified in the explosives hazard class

Regulation 335, Part 3 of Schedule 9: If a hazardous chemical may be classified in the explosives hazard class and is not an explosive article, the chemical must be packed in a container that has a label in English that complies with the Australian Code for the Transport of Explosives by Road and Rail and includes the following:
    * the proper shipping name and UN number of the chemical, and
    * any hazard pictogram, any hazard statement and any precautionary statement that are consistent with the correct classification of the chemical in relation to health hazards.
The Australian Code for the Transport of Explosives by Road and Rail (Explosives Code) outlines requirements for labelling of explosives hazard class. This labelling regime is designed primarily
for the communication of physical hazards of explosives during their transport.
Hazardous chemicals in the explosives class that meet the criteria for health hazards may require health and safety information on labels in addition to that required by the Explosives Code to meet workplace requirements.
Information on health hazards is not required on labels of explosive articles. Explosive articles should be labelled in accordance with the Explosives Code. However, where exposure to substances and mixtures within an article could occur during handling, any relevant health information should be included on labels.

3.7 Hazardous chemicals that are dangerous goods packaged for transport
Where a hazardous chemical has been packaged and labelled in accordance with dangerous goods transport requirements and is in-transit, the hazardous chemical is not subject to workplace labelling requirements. Where workplace hazardous chemicals are not in-transit, they must be labelled with all of the required labelling information.

Hazardous chemicals that are classified as dangerous goods and transported by road or rail must comply with the labelling or marking requirements that are specified in the ADG Code. Transport markings and class labels of the ADG Code are designed primarily to assist emergency services personnel in case of an accident or emergency.
Note: The ADG Code refers to dangerous goods pictograms as Class or Division labels. Other information required on a package or container is referred to
