What is categorized under 'miscellaneous' hazard class?

The classification of 'miscellaneous' hazards is specifically designed for materials that do not fall into any of the established hazard categories. This includes substances that may pose risks but do not exhibit the characteristics of more commonly recognized hazards, such as flammability or reactivity.

'Miscellaneous' is a broad classification meant to capture those materials that present hazards that might not be adequately defined within other categories. This could include various substances that could have health effects or environmental impacts but lack the defining traits of other specific hazard classes.

The other options all describe substances that fit clearly into established hazard classes: explosives, flammable gases, and oxidizing materials each have their own specific definitions and criteria. Therefore, these options do not meet the criteria for classification as 'miscellaneous.'
