Dear Mr. Yarmak:
This is in response to your letter dated September 8, 1998 requesting clarification of the requirements in § 173.306 (e), under the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR parts 171-180). Specifically, you ask whether your devices, which you refer to as Thermopiles and Thermoprobes, meet the defining criteria for refrigeration machines.
The HMR govern the transportation of hazardous materials in commerce.
