UN 1295 — Trichlorosilane
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.
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 1295 in ADR 2025 and in 49 CFR 172.101
On the fields below the two tables agree for this number. Special provisions are deliberately absent from this comparison: identical code numbers mean different things in the two systems and are never interchangeable.

UN 1295 in Table A of ADR 2025
One row in Table A of Chapter 3.2. Every value below comes from that row.
| Proper shipping name (3.1.2) | Class | Classification code | PG | Labels | Transport category | Hazard ID |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| TRICHLOROSILANE | 4.3 | WFC | I | 4.3, 3, 8 | 0 | X338 |
Source: ADR 2025, Table A of Chapter 3.2 · ECE/TRANS/352 Vol. I (UNECE). Class 4.3 is “Substances which, in contact with water, emit flammable gases” (ADR 2.1.1.1).
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | 0 | — | No quantity exemption at all: the full ADR regime applies from the first package. |
Source: ADR 2025, 1.1.3.6.3 and 1.1.3.6.4 · ECE/TRANS/352 Vol. I (UNECE). Category 0 means there is no quantity exemption at all — not that the quantity is zero.
Carriage provisions — CV codes
| CV23 | Special handling measures to avoid contamination of other goods. · relevant to segregation on the vehicle |

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.

Handling codes in column 10B are defined in 49 CFR 176.84, which is not part of our import — the numbers are shown as printed in the table.

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.
| N34 | Aluminum construction materials are not authorized for any part of a packaging which is normally in contact with the hazardous material. |
| T14 | Portable tank instruction. Minimum test pressure: 6 bar; minimum shell thickness (reference steel): 6 mm; pressure-relief requirements: § 178.275(g)(3); bottom opening requirements: Prohibited. See 49 CFR 172.102(c)(7)(ii), Table of Portable Tank T Codes T1-T22. |

The orange-coloured plate for UN 1295
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.
X338 — highly flammable liquid, corrosive, which reacts dangerously with water.
| 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 |
| 8 | Corrosivity |
| X | The substance reacts dangerously with water. Water may only be used by approval of experts. |

05 · Substances
Substances shipped under UN 1295
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 1295 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.
Hazard statements on the substances under UN 1295
| H224 | Extremely flammable liquid and vapour. |
| H260 | In contact with water releases flammable gases which may ignite spontaneously. |
| H302 | Harmful if swallowed. |
| H314 | Causes severe skin burns and eye damage. |
| H318 | Causes serious eye damage. |
| H331 | Toxic if inhaled. |

07 · FAQ
UN 1295 — frequently asked questions
What is UN 1295?
UN 1295 is the United Nations number for Trichlorosilane. Under ADR 2025 it is assigned to class 4.3 (substances which, in contact with water, emit flammable gases), classification code WFC.
What packing group is UN 1295?
Under ADR 2025 UN 1295 is packing group I.
Is UN 1295 classified the same way in the United States and in Europe?
On the fields we hold — proper shipping name, class, packing group and label codes — ADR 2025 and the 49 CFR 172.101 table agree for UN 1295. Special provisions still differ and are never interchangeable between the two systems.
What is the hazard identification number for UN 1295?
The orange-coloured plate for UN 1295 carries the hazard identification number X338 above the UN number. Under ADR 5.3.2.3.2 that number means: highly flammable liquid, corrosive, which reacts dangerously with water.
What is the transport category of UN 1295?
Column (15) of Table A puts UN 1295 in transport category 0. Under ADR 1.1.3.6.3 the maximum total quantity per transport unit for that category is 0.
Which substances ship under UN 1295?
We hold 1 substance linked to UN 1295 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.
Reference aid only. Values are reproduced from ADR 2025 and the 49 CFR 172.101 table as published; the consignor remains responsible for the classification of a specific consignment. Always verify against the current published regulation and the supplier's safety data sheet.
