ERG 2024 lists UN/NA 3048 (Aluminum phosphide pesticide) under Guide 157, titled “Substances - Toxic and/or Corrosive (Non-Combustible/Water-Sensitive)”.
Material name
3048 on a placard, orange panel or shipping paper
It points to the ERG 2024 entry “Aluminum phosphide pesticide” and to Guide 157. On a numbered orange panel, 3048 is the lower number (how to read an orange panel).
ERG 2024 markings for 3048
3048 is highlighted in green, so ERG 2024 Table 1 (Initial Isolation and Protective Action Distances) has an entry for it: “Aluminum phosphide pesticide (when spilled in water)”. Hazora shows those distances in the app, not on this page. “When spilled in water” means the material produces large amounts of toxic inhalation hazard (TIH) gases when spilled in water. Table 2 (Water-Reactive Materials Which Produce Toxic Gases) lists the gas produced: PH3 (phosphine). Its guide number 157 has no P.
