Why does hazardous materials communication rely on a standardized proper shipping name rather than a shipper's own product name?

Pick an answer

1. Standardized names are required only for international shipments
2. Every shipper is free to invent their own naming system with no standard requirement to follow at all, which is not how the system is actually designed to work in practice
3. Standardized names ensure responders and others across different shippers and carriers understand exactly what material is involved
4. Proper shipping names are used only for billing purposes
