Dear Mr. Schlueter:
This is a response to your March 18, 2014 email requesting clarification of the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR Parts 171-180) with regard to requalification markings on DOT specification cylinders and DOT Special Permit (DOT-SP) Cylinders used as fire extinguishers. Specifically, you request clarification on what specifications or types of cylinders may be marked using a pressure sensitive label.
In your email you indicate you are performing requalifications of DOT 4D, DOT 4DA, DOT 4DS, DOT-SP 7945, DOT-SP 7971, DOT-SP 8439, and DOT-SP 8495 cylinders that are used as fire extinguishers. Requirements for requalification markings for cylinders are found in
§ 180.213. In accordance with § 180.213(c)(1), cylinders used as fire extinguishers may be marked using a pressure sensitive label. This paragraph is not limited to DOT specification cylinders listed in § 180.209(j), but applies to all cylinders used as fire extinguishers.
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
