Dear Mr. Watt:
This is in response to your letter dated January 6, 1998, requesting clarification on the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR Parts 171-180). Specifically, you ask if an "ARMLOK" transportation ring (plastic circular locking ring) used to reinforce the seal of a paint can lid meets the requirement for a positive (not friction) means of closure as specified in § 173.181(b) of the HMR.
Based on the photograph and product information on the "ARMLOK" transportation ring provided in support of your letter, it is the opinion of this Office that an "ARMLOK" meets the requirement for a positive (not friction) means of closure as specified in § 173.181(b).
I hope this answers your inquiry. If you need additional assistance, do not hesitate to contact us.
Sincerely,
Delmer F. Billings
Chief, Regulations Development
Office of Hazardous Materials Standards
