For road transport in accordance with GGVSE [3.150] and ADR 2003 [3.151], lead chromate pigments and lead chromate containing preparations are assigned to class

6.1 (T5), III (UN-No. 2291) and have to be labeled with hazard symbol 6.1 (Toxic), if the lead content soluble in hydrochloric acid [c(HCI) = 0.07 mol L-1] exceeds 5%. For maritime transport in accordance with IMDG code [3.152] such lead chromate pigments and lead chromate-containing preparations have to be labeled additionally as marine pollutant.
