PART 172_HAZARDOUS MATERIALS TABLE, SPECIAL PROVISIONS, HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 
 
      Subpart B_Table of Hazardous Materials and Special Provisions
 
Sec. 172.316  Packagings containing materials classed as ORM-D.

    (a) Each non-bulk packaging containing a material classed as ORM-D 
must be marked on at least one side or end with the ORM-D designation 
immediately following or below the proper shipping name of the material. 
The ORM designation must be placed within a rectangle that is 
approximately 6.3 mm (0.25 inches) larger on each side than the 
designation. The designation for ORM-D must be:
    (1) ORM-D-AIR for an ORM-D that is prepared for air shipment and 
packaged in accordance with the provisions of Sec. 173.27 of this 
subchapter.
    (2) ORM-D for an ORM-D other than as described in paragraph (a)(1) 
of this section.
    (b) When the ORM-D marking including the proper shipping name can 
not be affixed on the package surface, it may be on an attached tag.
    (c) The marking ORM-D is the certification by the person offering 
the packaging for transportation that the material is properly 
described, classed, packaged, marked and labeled (when appropriate) and 
in proper condition for transportation according to the applicable 
regulations of this subchapter. This form of certification does not 
preclude the requirement for a certificate on a shipping paper when 
required by subpart C of this part.
