  1. Ajish,

    for other than class 7 it shall be as below

    Specifications for placards ( 5.3.1.2)

    .1 Be not less than 250 mm by 250 mm, with a line running 12.5 mm inside the edge and
    parallel with it. In the upper half of the placard the line shall have the same colour as
    the symbol and in the lower half it shall have the same colour as the figure in the
    bottom corner;

    .2 Correspond to the label for the class of the dangerous goods in question with respect to
    colour and symbol; and

    .3 Display the number of the class or division (and for goods in class 1, the compatibility
    group letter) of the dangerous goods in question in the bottom corner for
    the corresponding label, in digits not less than 25 mm high.

  2. Dear Shashi San,

    kindly revert the Size & font to be used for DG Label which has to be sticked in Cntr.

    Tks/Rgds
