What is the shipping name for Biological Substance, Category B?

UN2814
UN3373
UN2900
UN1744

The correct answer is: UN3373

The shipping name for Biological Substance, Category B, is UN3373. This classification is part of the UN Model Regulations which govern the safe transportation of dangerous goods, including biological materials. Category B biological substances are those that are transported in a manner that poses a low level of risk to both public health and the environment. UN3373 covers substances such as clinical specimens that may carry infectious substances but are packaged in a way that minimizes risk during transport. The use of this designation helps ensure that all handlers of the materials are aware of the appropriate packaging, labeling, and handling requirements that must be adhered to in order to ensure safety throughout the shipping process. The other options represent different classifications or types of substances wholly unrelated to Biological Substance, Category B. For instance, UN2814 refers to infectious substances affecting humans, including Category A materials which carry a much higher risk. UN2900 pertains to infectious substances affecting animals, while UN1744 is associated with specific chemicals, making them unsuitable designations for this category. Thus, UN3373 is the most accurate and relevant designation for Biological Substance, Category B.
