Irving, TX 75060

Dear Mr. Chambers:

This is in response to your letter dated March 25,· 1999, regarding segregation requirements under § 177. 848 of the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR Parts 171-180). Specifically you ask if it is permissible to transport corrosive materials in the same vehicle with material known to be foodstuffs.

The answer is yes. Under § 177.841, a package bearing or required to bear a POISON or POISON INHALATION HAZARD label may not . be transported in the same motor vehicle with material known to be foodstuffs. However, the HMR does not-impose restrictions of the transportation of materials bearing a CORROSIVE label with material known to be foodstuffs.

I hope this satisfies your request.

Sincerely,

John A. Gale
Transportation Regulations Specialist
Office of Hazardous Materials Standards
