70% to pass

The International Maritime Dangerous Goods Code assigns classes for dangerous goods. What is the proper nomenclature for class 4 substances?

A Oxidizing substances and organic peroxides
B Miscellaneous dangerous substances and articles
C Flammable solids
D Toxic and infectious substances
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) Flammable solids. The International Maritime Dangerous Goods (IMDG) Code classifies dangerous goods into different classes based on their hazardous properties. Class 4 substances are specifically identified as "Flammable solids, self-reactive substances and solid desensitized explosives." This includes materials that are readily combustible or may cause or contribute to fire through friction. The other answer choices are incorrect because they refer to different classes of dangerous goods under the IMDG Code: A) Oxidizing substances and organic peroxides (Class 5), B) Miscellaneous dangerous substances and articles (Class 9), and D) Toxic and infectious substances (Class 6).
