Dear Mr. Barcaskey:
This responds to your June 1, 2004 letter requesting clarification on packaging requirements for consumer commodities under § 173.25(b) of the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; stretch wrapped to a pallet as provided in your enclosed photograph meets the requirements of 173.25(b).
According to your letter, you ship aerosol cans that may contain materials that meet either Class 3 and or Division 6.1 under the HMR. You state that your products also meet the defining criteria in Part 173 for a limited quantity and consumer commodity under
§ 173.306(a)(3), 173.306(h) and 171.8. You ask if your proposed aerosol packaging meets the requirements of § 173.25(b). In addition, you ask if there is a weight limit for these packages stretch wrapped to a pallet.
It is the opinion of this Office that your proposed aerosol packaging does meet the
requirements of § 173.25(b). Section 173.25 (b) does not specify a weight limit for such packages stretch wrapped to a pallet.
I hope this answers your inquiry.
Sincerely,
John A. Gale
