What does Hazard Class 9 encompass?

Hazard Class 9 encompasses miscellaneous hazardous materials that do not fit into the other established hazard classes. This classification is designed to cover a variety of materials that pose potential risks but may not be adequately addressed by the specific categories such as explosive, flammable, or corrosive materials. Items in this category can include materials that present environmental hazards, but do not have the more severe classifications that would require them to fall under Hazard Classes 1 through 8. These can include products that are potentially harmful to the environment or other risks that need to be communicated during transport, but they do not present an immediate or fire-related hazard as seen in other classes.
