WHAT IS THE HAZMAT ENDORSEMENT TEST?

The Hazmat endorsement (H) is a written knowledge test required by the FMCSA and administered by your state DMV. It evaluates your understanding of:

• Hazard classifications & placarding
  
  
• Safe handling procedures

• Federal hazardous materials regulations
  
  

You must also undergo a TSA background check and fingerprinting to complete the process.
