DOT Guidance App - Chart 16 for Hazardous Materials Markings, Labeling and Placarding

DOT-PHMSA has made available a searchable mobile application for both iOS and Android platforms to assist shippers, carriers, and other stakeholders to quickly access information regarding hazardous materials markings, labels and placards. Of course, they quickly say "This application is intended for general guidance only and should not be used to determine compliance with 49 CFR, Parts 100-185. " which presumably even they don't know what the right answers are., but it is better than nothing.

First here is the PDF version of the guide to placarding, markings and labeling.
