UN 1583 — Chloropicrin mixture, N.O.S.
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 1583 in ADR 2025 and in 49 CFR 172.101
The two systems differ for this number on 1 of 5 fields. Special provisions are deliberately absent from this comparison: identical code numbers mean different things in the two systems.

02 · ADR 2025
UN 1583 in Table A of ADR 2025
3 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.
| Proper shipping name (3.1.2) | Class | Classification code | PG | Labels | Transport category | Hazard ID |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| CHLOROPICRIN MIXTURE, N.O.S. | 6.1 | T1 | I | 6.1 | 1 | 66 |
| CHLOROPICRIN MIXTURE, N.O.S. | 6.1 | T1 | II | 6.1 | 2 | 60 |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 20 | × 50 | Packing group I and the listed classes — the exemption runs out after 20 kg or litres per transport unit. |
| 2 | 333 | × 3 | Packing group II and the listed classes. |

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 274 | The provisions of 3.1.2.8 apply. |
| SP 315 | This entry shall not be used for Class 6.1 substances which meet the inhalation toxicity criteria for packing group I described in 2.2.61.1.8. |
| SP 515 | UN No. 1581 chloropicrin and methyl bromide mixture and UN No. 1582 chloropicrin and methyl chloride mixture are substances of Class 2. |

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 1583 in the 49 CFR 172.101 Hazardous Materials Table
3 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.

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.
What the column (1) symbols mean

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.

The orange-coloured plate for UN 1583
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.
66 — highly toxic substance.
| 6 | Toxicity or risk of infection |
| 6 | Toxicity or risk of infection · doubled figure — intensification of that hazard |

05 · Substances
Substances shipped under UN 1583
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 1583 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 1583
| H302 | Harmful if swallowed. |
| H315 | Causes skin irritation. |
| H319 | Causes serious eye irritation. |
| H330 | Fatal if inhaled. |
| H335 | May cause respiratory irritation. |

07 · FAQ
UN 1583 — frequently asked questions
What is UN 1583?
UN 1583 is the United Nations number for Chloropicrin mixture, N.O.S.. Under ADR 2025 it is assigned to class 6.1 (toxic substances), classification code T1.
What packing group is UN 1583?
Table A of ADR 2025 lists UN 1583 under 3 packing groups — I, 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 1583 classified the same way in the United States and in Europe?
No. For UN 1583 the two tables differ on proper shipping name. 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 1583?
The orange-coloured plate for UN 1583 carries the hazard identification number 66 above the UN number. Under ADR 5.3.2.3.2 that number means: highly toxic substance.
Which substances ship under UN 1583?
We hold 1 substance linked to UN 1583 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.
