ERG 2024 lists UN/NA 1824 (Caustic soda, solution) under Guide 154, titled “Substances - Toxic and/or Corrosive (Non-Combustible)”.
Material name
1824 on a placard, orange panel or shipping paper
It can stand for either of two ERG 2024 entries: “Caustic soda, solution” and “Sodium hydroxide, solution”. Both use Guide 154, so the number alone is enough to find the guide. On a numbered orange panel, 1824 is the lower number (how to read an orange panel).
ERG 2024 markings for 1824
1824 is not highlighted in green (no Table 1 entry), and its guide number 154 has no P.
