Dear Mr. Biehl:
This responds to your letter requesting clarification of the IBC marking requirements under the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR Parts 171-180). Specifically, you ask whether the portable tank marking requirements in § 172.326 also apply to an IBC. In addition, you ask for confirmation that if the identification number markings required by § 172.302(a) on an IBC are not visible, the transport vehicle or freight container must be marked as required by § 172.332 on each side and each end with the identification number specified in the § 172.101 Table.
The marking requirements specified in § 172.326 apply only to portable tanks. In addition, your understanding of the identification number marking requirements for an IBC in § 172.33 1 and 172.332 is also correct.
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
172.326, 172.331
