Dear Mr. Bradley:
This letter is in response to your September 17, 2024, email requesting clarification of the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR Parts 171-180) applicable to hazardous material placards. Specifically, you ask whether it is permitted to print or produce your own hazardous material placards instead of purchasing placards from a company provided the placards adhere to the requirements found in § 172.519.
The answer is yes, as there is no requirement to acquire placards from a vendor or company. Therefore, it is permitted to print or produce your own placards provided the placards meet the placard specification requirements found in § 172.519.
I hope this information is helpful. Please contact us if we can be of further assistance.
Sincerely,
Dirk Der Kinderen
Chief, Standards Development Branch
