                            Subpart D_Marking

 

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.
