Mr. Paul Reamy Reference No. 02-0207
504 Misty Lane
North Fort Myers, FL 33903
Dear Mr. Reamy:
This is in-response to your July 30, 2002 letter asking if hazard warning labels are required to be positioned in a square-on-point (diamond) configuration under the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR Parts 171-180) and the International Civil Aviation Organizations Technical Instructions on the Transport of Dangerous Goods (ICAO Technical Instructions).
The answer is no. While it is the intent of these regulations that a label be oriented square-on-point on a package when possible, the requirements in 49 CFR 172.406 and Sections 3.2 and 3.4 of the ICAO Technical Instructions do not prohibit the placement of hazard warning labels in an orientation where the square-on-point is located with its flat sides parallel to the package.
I hope this satisfies your request.
Sincerely,
Hattie L. Mitchell, Chief
Regulatory Review and Reinvention
Office of Hazardous Materials Standards
