Which term describes the process of determining the hazard classification of dangerous goods for transport?

• A. Labeled
• B. Classified
• C. Packaged
• D. Documented

Answer: (B)

The key idea here is determining what hazard category the dangerous goods belong to so they can be handled and transported safely. Once that assessment is done, the goods have been assigned a hazard class and packing group—the goods have been classified. Among the options, “classified” best fits because it describes the state after the determination process: the shipment has been classified. The other terms refer to different steps that come after classification—labeled means adding hazard labels, packaged means the goods are put into appropriate packaging, and documented refers to preparing the required paperwork.
