- The name of the appliance owner
- Refrigerant name and DOT hazard class tagCorrect answer
- The date the system was installed

Cylinders being shipped must be labeled with the refrigerant they contain and carry the Department of Transportation classification tag for the hazard class. This tells handlers and the reclaimer what is inside.

Why the other answers are wrong

- The date the system was installed — Installation date has nothing to do with shipping labels.
- The price paid for the refrigerant — Price is not a labeling requirement.
