Which class includes Infectious Substances as a hazard?

• A. Class 5
• B. Class 7
• C. Class 6
• D. Class 9

Answer: (C)

Infectious Substances are treated as a biological hazard, so they fall into the class that covers biological agents. This makes Class 6 the proper category for them (with the subcategory 6.2 specifically handling infectious substances). The other classes address different hazards: Class 5 covers oxidizers and organic peroxides, Class 7 covers radioactive materials, and Class 9 covers miscellaneous dangerous goods. So Class 6 is the correct fit because it is the category designated for infectious or biohazardous materials.
