Dear Mr. Wagner:
This responds to your January 17, 2006 letter requesting clarification concerning the use of a UN 1A2 steel drum containing a plastic inner receptacle under the International Civil Aviation Organization's Technical Instructions for the Safe Transport of Dangerous Goods by Air (ICAO Technical Instructions). Specifically, you request clarification regarding the use of an open-head drum certified for liquids as an outer packaging for a combination packaging containing a plastic inner bottle without retesting as a combination packaging.
A UN 1A2 steel drum that is an authorized single packaging may contain inner receptacles that are compatible with the lading as long as the inner receptacles would not adversely impact the level of performance of the packaging. This configuration would comply with the HMR and the ICAO Technical Instructions. The packaging would remain marked as a single packaging.
I hope this information is helpful. Please contact us if you require additional assistance.
Sincerely,
John A. Gale
