Ms. Karen Lowell, Esq. Reference No. 02-0205
California International Chemical Co., Inc.

Dear Ms. Lowell
This is in response to your July 25, 2002, letter regarding the identification number marking and placarding requirements under the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CPR parts 171-180), for motor vehicle transporting 900 pounds or less of non-bulk packages of Chlorine, 2.3, UN 1017.
You are correct that the placard required for “Chlorine, 2.3, UN1017” is the POISON GAS placard in accordance with § 172.504(e), Table 1. Based on the total quantity of chlorine on the motor vehicle, 900 pounds or less aggregate gross weight of non-bulk packaging display of the identification number on the transport vehicle is not required.
Section l72.313(c) states in part that, a transport vehicle or freight container containing a material poisonous by inhalation in non-bulk packages shall be marked, on each side and each end as specified in § 172.332 or § 172.336, with the identification number specified for the hazardous material in the § 172.101 Table, subject to the following provisions and limitations. The material is in Hazard Zone A or B and the transport vehicle or freight container is leaded at one facility with 1,000 kg (2,205 pounds) or more aggregate gross weight of the material in non-bulk packages marked with the same proper shipping name and identification number.
I hope this information is helpful. Please contact us if you require additional assistance.
Sincerely,
Delmer F. Billings
