    Except for transportation by aircraft or as otherwise provided in

materials is not required to be marked with the proper shipping name 

provided it is marked with the identification (ID) number, preceded by 

the letters ``UN'' or ``NA,'' as applicable, for the entry as shown in 

the Sec. 172.101 Table, and placed within a square-on-point border in 

accordance with the following:

size relative to the package as to be readily visible. The width of line 

forming the square-on-point must be at least 2 mm and the height of the 

ID number must be at least 6 mm. The marking must be applied on at least 

one side or one end of the outer packaging.

    (b) When two or more hazardous materials with different ID numbers 

are contained in the package, the packaging must be marked with either 

individual square-on-points bearing a single ID number, or a single 

square-on-point large enough to include each applicable ID number.
