Section III. MARKING, LABELING, PLACARDING, AND DOCUMENTATION CHECKLISTS
5-28. Use of Checklists
When radioactive materials are being prepared for transport, the following checklists can be used as an aid to assure that
marking, labeling, placarding, and documentation are adequate for transport of the materials. Each checklist is designed
as a guide to lead the user through a series of questions, the answers to which will lead to the next pertinent question or
necessary action to assure adequate preparation for transport. Paragraph 5-29 provides guidance for marking and
labeling packages, 5-30 provides a guide for placarding transport vehicles, and 5-31 provides a guide for required
documentation.
5-29. Package Marking and Labeling Checklist
This checklist is a guide to ensure that adequate marking and labeling for a package of radioactive materials is required.
Question a provides for determining whether marking and labeling are required. The remaining questions, each requiring
a yes answer, apply to any package that is determined not to be exempt. Necessary actions must be taken to ensure
that a yes answer can be given to these questions. Included in parentheses after each question is the applicable text

5-30. Placarding Checklist
This checklist provides a guide to assure that appropriate placards are applied to transport vehicles that are used for
radioactive materials. Question a provides for determining whether placarding is required. The remaining questions,

must be taken to ensure that a yes answer can be given to these questions. Included in parentheses after each question
