ERG 2024 lists UN/NA 2956 (5-tert-Butyl-2,4,6-trinitro-m-xylene) under Guide 149, titled “Substances (Self-Reactive)”.
Material name
2956 on a placard, orange panel or shipping paper
It can stand for either of two ERG 2024 entries: “5-tert-Butyl-2,4,6-trinitro-m-xylene” and “Musk xylene”. Both use Guide 149, so the number alone is enough to find the guide. On a numbered orange panel, 2956 is the lower number (how to read an orange panel).
