Which statements must be included in the HazMat shipping paper certification?

• A. All of the above
• B. The material offered was properly classified, labeled, placarded and prepared for transport
• C. The shipment complies with all applicable transportation regulations
• D. The certification statement indicates the shipping paper is complete and accurate.

Answer: (D)

The key idea is that the certification on a HazMat shipping paper is a formal guarantee from the shipper that the information on the paper is complete and accurate. This line serves as the official assertion that all required data—such as the description of the hazardous material and other shipping details—are correct and present. The other statements describe how the shipment was prepared or how it complies with regulations, which are important parts of the overall shipment, but they are not the specific certification text required. So the certification should explicitly state that the shipping paper is complete and accurate, making that option the correct one.
