Dear Mr. Giles:
This responds to your letter requesting further clarification of the placarding requirements under the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR Parts 171-180). Specifically, you ask if it is a violation to affix placards to a non-flat surface (e.g.: corrugated) of a freight container.
It is difficult for us to evaluate the merits of the specific placard in question without seeing a picture of the placard on the freight container. However, the HMR do not prohibit placards from being placed on a corrugated surface if the placards still comply with the visibility and display requirements specified in § 172.516.
I trust this satisfies your inquiry.
Sincere1y,
Hattie Mitchell
