Dear Mr. Martin:
This is in response to your letter dated August 23, 1999, regarding labeling requirements for specification cylinders under the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR Parts 171-180). In your letter you stated that you are shipping compressed gases in Specification 39 cylinders. Specifically you ask if it is required to place the NON-FLAMMABLE GAS label on the cylinder, or if it is sufficient to label only the strong outside packaging required under § 173.301(k).
A hazard warning label (e.g., NON-FLAMMABLE GAS) must be placed on each non-bulk packaging. Under § 173.301(k), Specification 39 cylinders must be shipped in strong outside packagings. The cylinder and the strong outside package together constitute the package; therefore, the hazard warning label need only be affixed to the strong outside packaging.
I hope this satisfies your request.
Sincerely,
John A. Gale
