Dear Ms. Anthony:
This responds to your March 3, 2009 request for clarification of package certification requirements under the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR Parts 171-180). Specifically, you ask if your company may use the current certification from another box manufacturer as long as you follow the current specifications.
According to your letter, your company is going to manufacture UN 4G boxes utilizing a design that has been tested and certified by a different manufacturer. It is your understanding that your company may use the other box manufacturer"s certification for the boxes you manufacture provided the boxes conform to the design specifications as certified by the original manufacturer.
You may use the test report for the package, but must mark the box with your name or symbol identifying you as the manufacturer of the box. In order to continue using the third-party lab mark, you must either receive authorization from the third-party certifying the package or submit the package for testing with the original third-party lab.
I hope this answers your inquiry.
Sincerely,
Charles E. Betts
