Standard Guide for Testing of Hazardous Materials (Dangerous Goods) Packagings

Importancia y uso:

4.1 The UN performance tests are based on the degree of hazard presented by the proposed hazardous material(s) to be packaged.

4.2 Substances and articles which are hazardous are assigned to a specific packing group as defined in 3.8.1 and may be determined by referencing 49 CFR 172.101 hazardous materials table.

4.3 Only packaging designs that have been successfully tested to the UN performance standards as defined in 3.8.2 may have the UN specification mark applied to the outer packaging. Hazardous Materials may not be transported in a packaging that does not bear the appropriate UN specification markings unless otherwise authorized by the applicable competent authority.

4.4 Packages successfully tested to the UN performance standards may or may not withstand the North American distribution environment. To further evaluate the suitability of the package it is strongly recommended that additional tests as detailed in Practice D4169 or other carrier specified test requirements be conducted.
