Which item is not part of DOT hazard class 6 according to the source?

• A. Corrosive Liquids
• B. Liquid Poisons
• C. Infectious Substances
• D. Poison Solids

Answer: (A)

Toxicity and infectious risk define Class 6. This class covers materials that are poisonous (toxic) and infectious substances, whether liquid or solid. Those characteristics drive the shipping rules for Class 6, including labeling and handling. Corrosive liquids, on the other hand, are defined by their ability to damage or destroy living tissue and materials, which places them in Class 8 (Corrosives). They have a separate set of packaging and labeling requirements from Class 6. So the item described as corrosive liquids is not part of Class 6.
