Dear Mr. Baird:
This responds to your March 7, 2002 letter requesting clarification of the definition for a "chemical kit" under the International Civil Aviation Organization's (ICAO) Technical Instructions and the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR Parts 171-180). Specifically, you ask if the definition of a "Chemical Kit" in Special Provision A44 of the ICAO Technical Instructions and Special Provision 15 of Part 172 of the HMR also apply to materials being shipped individually for replacement purposes.
Special Provision A44 describes chemical kits as boxes, cases, etc., containing small amounts of one or more compatible dangerous goods that are used for medical, analytical, or testing purposes. Special Provision 15 describes chemical kits as boxes, cases, etc., containing small amounts of various compatible dangerous goods which are used for medical, analytical, or testing purposes and for which exceptions are provided in this subchapter. It is the opinion of this Office that materials being shipped individually for replacement purposes may not be described as chemical kits under these special provisions. Therefore, the replacement material must be described using the appropriate basic description for the material being offered for transportation.
I hope this answers your inquiry.
Sincerely,
Delmer F. Billings
Chief, Standards Development
Office of Hazardous Materials Standards
