Dear Mr. Eggleston:
This is in response to your letter dated June 1, 1999, regarding the Class 9 label specification under the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR;49 CFR Parts 171-180). Specifically, you inquired whether the color “white”, as depicted on your Class 9 label imprinted on a black poly bag is in conformance with the color tolerances of the HMR.
The color of your Class 9 label does not satisfy the requirements of §§ 172.407 and 172.446 of the HMR. The background of the Class 9 label is required to be white. “White” as defined by the American College Dictionary is an achromatic color of maximum lightness; as new snow.
I trust this satisfies your inquiry. Please contact us if we can be of further assistance.
Sincerely,
Hattie L. Mitchell
