This is in response to your February 8, 2007 letter concerning the applicability of the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR: 49 CFR 171-180) to the location of placards on Intermediate Bulk Containers (IBC5). We apologize for the delay.
In your letter, you state that many IBCs are now built with large-radius corners. You state that these large-radius corners provide an area on which to affix a placard. You also provide photographs of a placard affixed on a large-radius corner of an IBC. You ask whether these corners are an acceptable "side" to affix a placard as required by the HMR.
It is the opinion of this Office that provided the placards are affixed on two opposite sides of an IBC, a large-radius corner is an acceptable area to affix a placard.
I hope this information is helpful.
Sincerely,
John A. Gale,
Chief, Standards Development
Office of Hazardous Materials Standards
