UN 1197 — Extracts, liquid, for flavour or aroma (vapour pressure at 50 °C more than 110 kPa)

Table A of ADR 2025 and the 49 CFR 172.101 Hazardous Materials Table for this number, kept side by side and never merged, plus the CLP label elements of the substances that ship under it.

ADR class 3 49 CFR 3 PG II, III Hazard ID 33 27 linked substances

The two tables are never merged. The same UN number can carry a different packing group, a different proper shipping name and entirely different special provisions in each system. Every value below sits under the name of the jurisdiction it comes from.

01 · Two jurisdictions

UN 1197 in ADR 2025 and in 49 CFR 172.101

The two systems differ for this number on 2 of 5 fields. Special provisions are deliberately absent from this comparison: identical code numbers mean different things in the two systems.

UN 1197 in Table A of ADR 2025

5 separate rows in Table A of Chapter 3.2. They are not interchangeable: the packing group follows from the properties of the consignment, and each row carries its own transport category — that is a different multiplier in the 1.1.3.6 calculation.

Transport category and the 1 000-point exemption

Column (15) of Table A decides whether a load stays under the exemption of ADR 1.1.3.6. Quantities of different categories are added with the multipliers below, and the sum must not exceed 1 000.

Category	Max total quantity per transport unit	Multiplier in 1.1.3.6.4	What it means

Special provisions — ADR 2025, Chapter 3.3

Codes from column (6) of Table A, with the text of Chapter 3.3.1. These are ADR provisions only. A code with the same number exists in 49 CFR 172.102 and means something else there — the two lists are never combined.

SP 601	Pharmaceutical products (medicines) ready for use, which are substances manufactured and packaged for retail sale or distribution for personal or household consumption are not subject to the requirements of ADR.
SP 640C	The physical and technical characteristics mentioned in column (2) of Table A of Chapter 3.2 determine different tank codes for the carriage of substances of the same packing group in ADR tanks. In order to identify these physical and technical characteristics of the product carried in the tank, the following shall be added, to the particulars required in the transport document, only in case of carriage in ADR tanks: "Special provision 640X" where "X" is the applicable capital letter appearing after the reference to special provision 640 in column (6) of Table A of Chapter 3.2. These particulars may, however, be dispensed with in the case of carriage in the type of tank which, for substances of a specific packing group of a specific UN number, meets at least the most stringent requirements.
SP 640D	The physical and technical characteristics mentioned in column (2) of Table A of Chapter 3.2 determine different tank codes for the carriage of substances of the same packing group in ADR tanks. In order to identify these physical and technical characteristics of the product carried in the tank, the following shall be added, to the particulars required in the transport document, only in case of carriage in ADR tanks: "Special provision 640X" where "X" is the applicable capital letter appearing after the reference to special provision 640 in column (6) of Table A of Chapter 3.2. These particulars may, however, be dispensed with in the case of carriage in the type of tank which, for substances of a specific packing group of a specific UN number, meets at least the most stringent requirements.

Not imported and therefore not shown for this number: limited quantities (column 7a), excepted quantities (7b), packing instructions (8), tank codes (10–13) and the tunnel restriction code (15). An empty section is more honest than borrowed text.

UN 1197 in the 49 CFR 172.101 Hazardous Materials Table

2 separate rows in the Hazardous Materials Table. Where the rows differ only by the symbol in column (1), that symbol is what tells them apart — “D” is domestic-only, “I” is international.

Special provisions — 49 CFR 172.102

Codes from column (7) of the Hazardous Materials Table, with the text of § 172.102. These are United States provisions only and have nothing to do with the ADR codes above, even where the number is identical.

149	When transported as a limited quantity or a consumer commodity, the maximum net capacity specified in § 173.150(b)(2) of this subchapter for inner packagings may be increased to 5 L (1.3 gallons).

04 · Orange plate

The orange-coloured plate for UN 1197

The upper half of the plate carries the hazard identification number, the lower half the UN number. Dimensions follow ADR 5.3.2.2.1: 400 × 300 mm, black border and dividing line 15 mm, figures 100 mm high.

33 — highly flammable liquid (flash-point below 23 °C).

3	Flammability of liquids (vapours) and gases or self-heating liquid
3	Flammability of liquids (vapours) and gases or self-heating liquid · doubled figure — intensification of that hazard

05 · Substances

Substances shipped under UN 1197

Linked by CAS number, never by name: a name match once produced “acetone cyanohydrin” for acetone, and a wrong link here would be a wrong classification. Each entry opens its own reference page with the CLP classification and label elements.

06 · The label side

What UN 1197 looks like on a workplace label

The tables above are the transport classification. This is the other half of the same material: the CLP label elements of the substances linked to this number — what actually goes on the drum once it has been delivered. Transport marks and supply labels answer different regulations and do not replace one another.

Health hazard

Signal word across the linked substances: Danger

Hazard statements on the substances under UN 1197

H304	May be fatal if swallowed and enters airways.
H340	May cause genetic defects <state route of exposure if it is conclusively proven that no other routes of exposure cause the hazard>.
H350	May cause cancer <state route of exposure if it is conclusively proven that no other routes of exposure cause the hazard>.

07 · FAQ

UN 1197 — frequently asked questions

What is UN 1197?

UN 1197 is the United Nations number for Extracts, liquid, for flavour or aroma (vapour pressure at 50 °C more than 110 kPa). Under ADR 2025 it is assigned to class 3 (flammable liquids), classification code F1.

What packing group is UN 1197?

Table A of ADR 2025 lists UN 1197 under 2 packing groups — II, III — as separate rows. The packing group follows from the properties of the specific consignment; it is not interchangeable, and each row carries its own transport category.

Is UN 1197 classified the same way in the United States and in Europe?

No. For UN 1197 the two tables differ on proper shipping name, rows in the table. Each panel on this page shows its own source; values from one system must not be carried over into the other.

What is the hazard identification number for UN 1197?

The orange-coloured plate for UN 1197 carries the hazard identification number 33 above the UN number. Under ADR 5.3.2.3.2 that number means: highly flammable liquid (flash-point below 23 °C).

Which substances ship under UN 1197?

We hold 27 substances linked to UN 1197 by CAS number. Each one has its own reference page with the CLP classification, GHS pictograms and hazard statements that apply on the label — the workplace side of the same material.

Need the plate, the labels or the placards printed?

The orange plate above is a physical article, and so are the class labels in column (5). Our sister site GHSLabels.com covers printing and suppliers. For the workplace label of the same material, use the GHS label constructor, and browse other numbers in the UN number reference.

SDS Manager

Transport classification is only half of what a consignment needs: the receiving site still has to hold a current safety data sheet for every product on the shelf, and those change whenever a supplier reissues. For keeping that library central, version-controlled and reachable by QR code, the solution we recommend is SDS Manager. It also offers SDS authoring and a broader EHS suite.
