There are two placard tables: Table 1 and Table 2.

You may use DANGEROUS placards instead of separate placards for each Table 2 hazard class when:
The dangerous placard is an option, not a requirement. You can always placard for the materials.
If the words INHALATION HAZARD are on the shipping paper or package, you must display POISON GAS or POISON INHALATION placards in addition to any other placards needed by the product's hazard class. The 1,000-pound exception does not apply to these materials.
Materials with a secondary hazard of "dangerous when wet" must display the DANGEROUS WHEN WET placard in addition to any other placards needed by the product’s hazard class. The 1,000-pound exception to placarding does not apply to these materials.
Placards used to identify the primary or subsidiary hazard class of a material must have the hazard class or division number displayed in the lower corner of the placard. Permanently affixed subsidiary hazard placards without the hazard class number may be used as long as they stay within color specifications.
Placards may be displayed for hazardous materials even if not required so long as the placard identifies the hazard of the material being transported.
Bulk packaging is a single container with a capacity of 119 gallons or more. A bulk package and a vehicle transporting a bulk package must be placarded, even if it only has the residue of a hazardous material. Certain bulk packages only have to be placarded on the two opposite sides or may display labels. All other bulk packages must be placarded on all four sides.
