Dear Mr. Hunt
This is in response to your letter dated March 4, 1998, regarding the EX-number marking requirements in 49 CPR 172.320. Specifically, you ask if a package containing an oxygen generator is required to be marked with the EX-number that was assigned to the primary cap in addition to the approval number that is assigned to the oxygen generator in accordance with Special Provision 60.
The requirement in § 172.320 to mark the outside of the package with the EX-number of each Class 1 material contained therein is applicable only to materials or devices that meet the definition of Class 1. The oxygen generator described in your letter is assigned to Division 5.1. Therefore, packages containing these oxygen generators are not required to be marked with the EX-number. However, a package that contains an oxygen generator is required to be marked with the approval number that was assigned to it in accordance with Special Provision 60.
In addition, a Class 1 material may only be reclassified by the Associate Administrator for Hazardous Materials Safety.
Sincerely,
Delmer F. Billings
Chief, Standards Development
Office of Hazardous Materials Standards
