Dear Ms. Millar:
This is in response to your fax dated March 25, 1999, and subsequent telephone conversation with Eric Nelson of our staff regarding the classification of pressurized canisters of MEK based ink under the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR Parts 171-180). Specifically, you ask for advice in classifying these canisters.
Under § 173.22 of the HMR, it is the shipper's responsibility to properly classify a hazardous material,. We are sorry that we can not further assist you in the classification of your product as the information provided to^,us in your fax and subsequent telephone conversation is inadequate. Generally, manufacturers have the knowledge to properly classify the materials and products they produce, although it may be necessary to enlist an outside laboratory to assist in the classification process, as testing may have to be conducted to see how a product compares to the criteria for various hazard classes.
I hope this satisfies your request.
Sincerely,
Thomas G. Allan
Acting Director, Office of Hazardous
Materials Standards
