Based on: HMR Marking Requirements, 49 CFR § 172 Subpart D
Languages: English
The packaging used to secure hazardous materials during transport typically contains markings and labels to indicate that it contains a hazardous material. The purpose of these markings and labels is to communicate the hazards and risks of the materials being transported to anyone who could be exposed to them. All markings must be legible and durable; clearly visible; written in English; printed on or affixed to the package surface or a label, tag, or sign; and placed away from other markings (such as advertising) that could substantially reduce their effectiveness. DOT marking requirements are detailed in Part 172, Subpart D of the HMR.
At the end of this module, you will be able to:
The following key questions are answered in this module:
What is the significance of UN Performance Oriented Packaging (POP) certification? UN POP certification indicates that packaging is capable of passing performance tests that are designed to mimic the forces experienced during transport.
Why is it important to maintain some vacant space in containers being used to transport liquid hazardous materials? Liquids often expand when they are heated, so some "vapor space" (or "outage") must remain to ensure that leakage or permanent distortion of the packaging does not occur.
Where can I find the Proper Shipping Name and ID number for a hazardous material? These can be found in the Hazardous Materials Table in Section 172.101 of the HMR.
What markings are required on Limited Quantity packagings? These require an ID number and the Limited Quantity marking on at least one side or one end, unless transported by air.
When is the MARINE POLLUTANT marking required on packagings?The MARINE POLLUTANT mark is required on non-bulk packaging only when transported by water and bulk packaging when transported by all modes.
