Which of the following statements is true regarding labeling of non-PCB fluids?

• A. Non-PCB fluids are identified with a non-PCB tag or nameplate
• B. Non-PCB fluids must be yellow
• C. Non-PCB fluids are never tested
• D. Non-PCB fluids are identical to PCB fluids

Answer: (A)

Clearly identifying whether a transformer fluid is non-PCB is essential for safe handling and regulatory compliance. The best approach is to attach a non-PCB tag or nameplate to the equipment or container, so everyone immediately knows the fluid does not contain PCBs and should be treated accordingly. Color alone isn’t a universal or required identifier, so stating that non-PCB fluids must be yellow isn’t reliable. Non-PCB fluids are not inherently different in labeling from PCB fluids in terms of requirement to verify status, so the idea that they are never tested isn’t accurate. And non-PCB fluids are not identical to PCB fluids; they differ in PCB content and require clear labeling to prevent mixing up or improper disposal.
