Why must a shipper's hazardous materials certification statement follow specific required wording, rather than any general statement of accuracy?

Pick an answer

1. Specific required wording ensures the certification clearly and consistently confirms compliance with the applicable regulations
2. Any signature alone satisfies the certification requirement regardless of accompanying text or wording used, which many new drivers wrongly assume is safe
3. Wording is left entirely to each shipper's discretion with no standard required
4. The certification statement's wording is relevant only for international shipments
