Dear Mr. Schulte:
This responds to your October 22, 2009 request for clarification of shipping paper requirements under the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR Parts 171-180).
Specifically, you ask if commonly used names of packagings may be used to satisfy the requirements in §172.202(a)(7) to indicate the type of packaging on shipping papers.
The answer is yes. Commonly used and recognizable names for a packaging, such as pail, box, drum, cylinder, and the like, may be used to describe the type of packaging on shipping papers under §172.202(a)(7) requirements.
I hope this answers your inquiry. If you need additional assistance, do not hesitate to contact this Office.
Sincerely,
Charles E. Betts
Chief, Standards Development
Office of Hazardous Materials Standards
