HAZMAT : abréviation uniformisée par le Comité d'uniformisation de la terminologie aéronautique (CUTA) - Opérations aériennes et adoptée dans toute la francophonie. On ne se sert pas de HAZMAT comme d'un nom mais plutôt comme d'un adjectif. Par exemple : «HAZMAT conference», «HAZMAT incident», «HAZMAT spill», «HAZMAT team», «calendrier HAZMAT», «cédérom HAZMAT», «formation HAZMAT», «projet HAZMAT». On peut dire «Chlorine is a hazardous material» ou «This hazardous material is flammable» mais non «Chlorine is a HAZMAT», ou «This HAZMAT is flammable». 2, record 1, French, - mousse%20pour%20mati%C3%A8res%20dangereuses
