Dear Mr. Ten Eyck:
This responds to your letter dated December 20, 2001, regarding different packagings under the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR Parts 171-180). Specifically, you inquire whether the addition of a leak-proof liner to a previously tested fiberboard box design would require design qualification testing as a different design type under
§ 178.601(c)(4).
Provided the liner does not compromise the integrity of the original tested design type (e.g., packaging assembly, closure method), the addition of a liner or similar form of containment would not be considered a different packaging and, therefore, would not require design qualification testing as a new design type.
I trust this satisfies your inquiry. Please contact us if we can be of further assistance.
Sincerely,
Hattie L. Mitchell
Chief, Regulatory Review and Reinvention
Office of Hazardous Materials Standards
178.601(c)(4)
