Dear Mr. Brooks:

This is in response to your August 10, 2005 letter regarding the applicability of the consumer commodity provisions as specified in the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR Parts 171-180) - Specifically, you ask if your fire suppression system described as “Flammable solids, organic, n.o.s., Division 4.1, UN 1325, PG III” qualifies for the consumer commodity exception in § 173.151(c).

The answer is no. Upon further review of the information provided, we have determined that this material is an “explosive device” and needs to be approved by the Associate Administrator under the terms specified in § 173.56.

I hope this information is helpful. If you have further questions, please do not hesitate to contact this office.

Sincerely,

Hattie L. Mitchell
Chief, Regulatory Review and Reinvention
Office of Hazardous Materials Standards
