What is UN 3082?

UN 3082 refers to Environmentally Hazardous Substances, Liquid, N.O.S. (Not Otherwise Specified). These materials may not be immediately dangerous to human health but pose a significant risk to the environment, particularly waterways, soil, and ecosystems, if released.

Common examples include:

• Certain industrial chemicals

• Agricultural products

• Oils, additives, and chemical mixtures

• Substances harmful to aquatic life

Correct identification using approved signage is essential for safe handling, transport, and emergency management.

What Does the 3Z Hazchem Code Mean?

The 3Z Hazchem code provides critical emergency response guidance:

• 3 – Indicates that foam should be used as the primary firefighting medium

• Z – Warns responders that protective equipment and breathing apparatus are required and that water runoff must be controlled to prevent environmental damage

This information allows emergency services to act quickly and safely, reducing risk to people, property, and the environment.
