 If you are unsure whether your material meets the criteria for dangerous goods or which identification and classification applies to your shipment, contact Environmental Management at 257-7375. 

In addition, the WHO has produced a very helpful online guide to help determine classification and updated shipment requirements for infectious materials: A Guide for Shippers of Infectious Substances, 2015.
