The Division 5.2 Label is described as what?

• A. A red upper half and yellow lower half with a flame symbol in the upper half
• B. A white label with a skull and crossbones
• C. A blue circle with a leaf symbol
• D. A black rectangle with white text

Answer: (A)

The question tests your ability to recognize the hazard label for Division 5.2, organic peroxides. The correct description—red on the top half, yellow on the bottom half, with a flame symbol in the upper half—matches the standard label used for organic peroxides. That color scheme and pictogram quickly signal that the substance is a reactive, flammable material that requires careful handling, separation from heat sources, and proper storage to prevent ignition or decomposition.

Other options don’t fit because a skull-and-crossbones would indicate toxicity, which is a different hazard class; a blue circle with a leaf isn’t a standard hazard label; and a plain black rectangle with white text isn’t used as a hazard symbol.
