Dear Ms. Saltzman:
This responds to your letter, dated June 5, 1999, concerning the packaging requirements for self-heating solids, organic, n.o.s. in the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR Parts 171180) and the International Civil Aviation Organization's Technical Instructions for the Safe Transport of Dangerous Goods by Air (ICAO Technical Instructions). Specifically, you ask if you may use 1Hl or 1H2 plastic drums as a single packaging with plastic bag inner receptacles.
The answer is yes. An authorized single packaging for a hazardous material may contain inner receptacles that are compatible with the lading as long as the inner receptacles would not adversely affect the level of performance of the packaging. The packaging would remain marked as a single packaging.
I hope this information is helpful. If you have further questions, please do not hesitate to contact this office.
Sincerely,
Thomas G. Allan
Acting Director
Office of Hazardous Materials Standards
