A section of a CDL training manual, last revised in 2017, still lists 'ORM-D (Other Regulated Material-Domestic)' as a current hazmat category in its hazard class chart. How should a driver studying for today's hazmat knowledge test treat this reference?

Question

Accepted Answer

Recognize that it is outdated — ORM-D no longer appears in the regulations, and what it once covered is now handled through the Limited Quantity marking or, for consumer goods, the Class 9/ID8000 'Consumer commodity' entry

Answer

Treat it as fully current, since training manuals are automatically updated whenever regulations change

Answer

Assume ORM-D and Limited Quantity are two unrelated, currently valid categories that a driver must memorize separately

Answer

Disregard the entire manual, since one outdated reference means all of its content is unreliable
