(2) RETAIN COPIES OF EACH WRITTEN NOTIFICATION FOR AT LEAST ONE YEAR FROM DATE OF ISSUANCE; AND (3) MAKE COPIES OF ALL WRITTEN NOTIFICATION AVAILABLE FOR INSPECTION BY A REPRESENTATIVE OF THE DEPARTMENT. OVERVIEW OF THE HAZARDOUS MATERIALS REGULATIONS THE CODE OF FEDERAL REGULATIONS (CFR) IS A CODIFICATION OF THE GENERAL AND PERMANENT RULES OF THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, WHICH IS PUBLISHED IN THE FEDERAL REGISTER. THE CODE IS DIVIDED INTO 50 TITLES THAT REPRESENT BROAD AREAS SUBJECTED TO FEDERAL REGULATIONS. EACH TITLE IS DIVIDED INTO CHAPTERS THAT USUALLY BEAR THE NAME OF THE ISSUING AGENCY. EACH CHAPTER IS FURTHER SUBDIVIDED INTO PARTS COVERING SPECIFIC REGULATORY AREAS. HAZARDOUS MATERIALS REGULATIONS (HMR) GOVERN THE SAFETY ASPECTS OF TRANSPORTATION OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS IN COMMERCE. THE HAZARDOUS MATERIALS REGULATIONS ARE ADMINISTRATED BY THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION (DOT), AND ARE FOUND IN THE CODE OF FEDERAL REGULATIONS (CFR), TITLE 49 - TRANSPORTATION, PARTS 100 TO 177 AND 178 TO 199. THESE REGULATIONS CONTAIN DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW HAZARDOUS MATERIALS HAVE TO BE IDENTIFIED, PACKAGED, MARKED, LABELED, DOCUMENTED, AND PLACARD. SHIPMENTS NOT IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE APPLICABLE REGULATIONS MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR ACCEPTED FOR TRANSPORTATION. WITHIN THE REGULATORY PROCESS, THE CFR IS USED TO DETERMINE PACKAGING THAT CAN BE USED FOR SHIPPING REGULATED PRODUCTS, SUCH AS FLAMMABLE, TOXIC, AND CORROSIVE PRODUCTS.
THE TEST REQUIREMENTS IN TITLE 49 CFR 178.601 ARE MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS. EACH PACKAGING MUST BE MANUFACTURED AND ASSEMBLED TO SUCCESSFULLY PASS THE PRESCRIBED TEST AND CONFORM TO THE GENERAL REQUIREMENTS OF TITLE 49. IT IS RESPONSIBILITY OF THE PERSON OFFERING A HAZARDOUS MATERIAL FOR TRANSPORTATION TO ENSURE THAT SUCH PACKAGING ARE COMPATIBLE WITH THEIR LADING AND COMPLY WITH THE STANDARDS AND TEST REQUIREMENTS IN CFR. THE D.O.T. MONITORS ALL CONTAINER MANUFACTURES AND SHIPPERS OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS. MANUFACTURES AND SHIPPERS ARE ROUTINELY INSPECTED FOR COMPLIANCE IN SUCH AREAS AS RECORD KEEPING AND CONTAINER PERFORMANCE. IF A SHIPMENT IS FOUND WITHIN THE TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM NOT TO BE IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE APPLICABLE REGULATIONS, IT WILL BE DELAYED. IN ADDITION, NON-COMPLIANCE WITH THE APPLICABLE REGULATIONS CAN SUBJECT THE SHIPPER, FORWARDER, AND CARRIER, AS APPROPRIATE, TO CIVIL PENALTIES - FINES UP TO $25,000 PER VIOLATION* OR CRIMINAL PENALTIES - FINES, IMPRISONMENT UP TO FIVE (5) YEARS, OR BOTH.* A CIVIL PENALTY IS GENERALLY IMPOSED WHEN HAZARDOUS MATERIALS REGULATIONS ARE NOT FOLLOWED. THIS CAN RESULT WHEN SOMETHING IS NOT DONE THAT THE REGULATIONS REQUIRE TO BE DONE, SUCH AS MARKING THE PROPER SHIPPING NAME ON A PACKAGING, OR WHEN SOMETHING IS DONE THAT THE REGULATIONS PROHIBIT, SUCH AS PUTTING A PLACARD ON A VEHICLE THAT DOES NOT CONTAIN HAZARDOUS MATERIALS. A CRIMINAL PENALTY IS IMPOSED WHEN THE HAZARDOUS MATERIALS REGULATIONS ARE VIOLATED INTENTIONALLY. A TYPICAL VIOLATION WOULD BE OFFERING A HAZARDOUS MATERIAL PACKAGING REQUIRING A POISON LABEL FOR SHIPMENT WITHOUT THE LABEL BECAUSE THE CARRIER WILL NOT ACCEPT POISON LABELED PACKAGES. * 107. 329 (a), CODE OF FEDERAL REGULATIONS (CFR), TITLE 49 - TRANSPORTATION, PARTS 100 TO 177 * 107.333 CODE OF FEDERAL REGULATIONS (CFR), TITLE 49 - TRANSPORTATION, PARTS 100 TO 177
PERFORMANCE ORIENTED PACKAGING DESCRIBES MINIMUM PERFORMANCE LEVELS A PACKAGING MUST ACHIEVE. THE PERFORMANCE LEVEL REQUIRED IS BASED ON THE HAZARDOUS MATERIAL TO BE PACKAGED. THE SELECTION OF A PACKAGING MUST ALSO BE BASED ON CHEMICAL COMPATIBILITY. THEREFORE, THE PACKAGING REQUIREMENTS FOR A HAZARDOUS MATERIAL ARE BASED ON THE FOLLOWING: · THE CLASSIFICATIONS OF A PRODUCT INTO ONE OF THREE (3) DEGREES OF HAZARD. PACKAGING GROUP I STANDARD "X" GREATER DANGER PACKAGING GROUP II STANDARD "Y" MODERATE DANGER · THE SPECIFIC GRAVITY OF A PRODUCT. · THE VAPOR PRESSURE OF A PRODUCT. · AND THE CHEMICAL COMPATIBILITY OF A PRODUCT WITH ITS LADING. SHIPPERS AND MANUFACTURES ARE JOINTLY RESPONSIBLE FOR PACKAGING
DESIGNED CONSTRUCTION TO THE EXTENT THAT PACKAGING IS DETERMINED
TO BE SUITABLE FOR ITS LADING AND THAT IT COMPLIES WITH THE STANDARD
AND TEST REQUIREMENTS IN THE CFR. 1. PLACE DRUM LID WITH GASKET AND SELECTED CLAMP BAND AS SUPPLIED ON THE TOP OPENING OF THE DRUM BODY. 2. FIRMLY PRESS LID ONTO TOP OPENING BY APPLYING DOWNWARD PRESSURE TO LID ABOVE DRUM SIDEWALL. 3. WHILE PRESSING DOWN ON LID ENGAGE LOCKING MECHANISM OF CLAMP BAND TO SECURE LID IN PLACE. MAKE SURE LOCKING MECHANISM IS COMPLETELY LATCHED. 4. VISUALLY INSPECT TO ASSURE THERE WAS NO MOVEMENT OF THE GASKET THAT WOULD PRODUCE A POOR SEAL. 5 GALLON 1A2/X36/S With Lug & Locking Ring Covers BOLT RINGS REQUIRED THE FOLLOWING PROCEDURE MUST BE FOLLOWED FOR A U.N. 1A2 DRUM WITH A HEAVY BOLT LOCKING RING AND COVER: 1.

PRESSURE IS THEN APPLIED TO THE COVER (IF AVAILABLE A HEAD COMPRESSOR CAN BE USED) ON THE DRUM THROUGH A CYLINDER OF 4 INCHES UNDER 90 PSI OF PRESSURE. THIS ALLOWS THE HEAVY BOLT LOCK TO BE TIGHTENED. THE BOLT LOCK SHOULD BE PUT TOGETHER. TORQUE UP BOLT TO 45-55 FT./LB. USE RING GAP AS GUIDE. (1/4" TO 3/8") TAP RING TO ASSIST CLOSING PROCESS. 5. TIGHTEN BOLT UNTIL SPACE BETWEEN BOTH ENDS OF RING - · FOR STEEL DRUM THICKNESS MARKED ON BOTTOM OF DRUM: · FOR STEEL DRUM THICKNESS MARKED ON BOTTOM OF DRUM: 6. LOCK 5/8" JAM NUT AGAINST UNTHREADED LUG OF CLOSING RING. 7. VISUALLY INSPECT TO ASSURE THERE WAS NO MOVEMENT OF THE GASKET
