Section 172.316 Packagings containing materials classed as ORM-D.

Section 172.317 KEEP AWAY FROM HEAT
handling mark.

(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. Until December
31, 2020, the designation ORM-D is for
an ORM-D material, as defined in
Section 173.144, that is packaged in accordance
with SectionSection 173.63(b), 173.150 through 173.156,
and 173.306.
(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.

105 mm (4.1 inches) in height by 74 mm

half this dimension are permissible
where the dimensions of the package
can only bear a smaller mark.

in conformance with the requirements
of this paragraph in effect on December
31, 2014, may continue to be used until
December 31, 2016.
