Dear Mr. Boros:
This is a response to your June 24, 2013 email requesting clarification of the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR Parts 171-180) with regard to the selection of a proper shipping name. Specifically, you seek clarification on whether you may use the hazardous materials description “UN1266, Perfumery products,” for a product used as a disinfectant or cleaner and not as a perfume.
In accordance with § 173.22, it is the shipper's responsibility to properly class and describe a hazardous material. This Office does not perform that function. There is no definition for “perfumery products” in the HMR. However, perfume is typically defined as a fluid preparation used for scenting, composed of natural essences or synthetics and a fixative. Given that the primary function of your product is not as a perfume, but rather, a product intended to be used as a disinfectant or cleaner, the description the description of “UN1266, Perfumery products” would not be appropriate.
I hope this information is helpful. If you have any more questions, please do not hesitate to contact this office.
Sincerely,
Robert Benedict
Chief, Standards Development
