Which describes Class 6 placards?

• A. Toxic
• B. Infectious
• C. Radioactive
• D. Corrosive

Answer: (A)

Class 6 placards identify toxic materials. The standard Class 6 placard prominently shows the word “TOXIC” (often with a skull and crossbones) to warn that the substance can cause harm if inhaled, ingested, or absorbed. While infectious substances are also part of Class 6 (as a 6.2 subcategory), they have their own labeling and are not represented by the generic “TOXIC” placard. The other options belong to different classes: radioactive corresponds to Class 7, and corrosive to Class 8.
