Under Special Provision A140, the technical name is not recommended to be marked on:

• A. The outside of the package
• B. The Shipper's declaration
• C. The Waybill
• D. The technical name must always accompany the Proper shipping name

Answer: (A)

Special Provision A140 focuses on keeping the technical name of certain dangerous goods off the exterior packaging while making it available on the transport documents. The outside labeling should show the proper shipping name and other standard information (like UN number and hazard class), but not the technical name. The exact technical name should accompany the proper shipping name in the shipping papers—typically on the shipper's declaration and/or the waybill—so authorities can verify the specifics if needed. This arrangement protects sensitive or proprietary details on the packaging itself while ensuring full regulatory detail is accessible in the documents. That’s why marking the technical name on the outside of the package is not recommended.
