2208 on a placard, orange panel or shipping paper
It can stand for either of two ERG 2024 entries: “Bleaching powder” and “Calcium hypochlorite mixture, dry, with more than 10% but not more than 39% available chlorine”. Both use Guide 140, so the number alone is enough to find the guide. On a numbered orange panel, 2208 is the lower number (how to read an orange panel).
