NOTES:
1. Packing groups are not used for this hazard class.
2. For inner packaging, the quantity contained in each receptacle must not exceed a water capacity of 30 ml. For
outer packaging, the sum of the water capacities of all the inner packaging must not exceed 1 L.
3. For Class 5.2, PG II, the maximum total net quantity allowed in the outer packaging is 500 g or 250 ml.
4. For Class 9 material, if no PG is given in table A4.1, PG II quantities must be used.
A19.2.3. Inner Packaging. Each inner packaging must be plastic (with a minimum thickness of 0.2 mm), glass,
earthenware, or metal. The inner packaging must not react with, or be decomposed by, the material contained
therein.
A19.2.4. Closures. Closures must be held securely, tightly, and effectively in place with tape, self-shrink plastic,
wire, or other positive means.
A19.2.5. Liquids. Liquids must not completely fill inner packaging at a temperature of 55 C (130 F).
A19.2.6. Intermediate Packaging. Securely pack each inner packaging in an intermediate packaging with
cushioning material. The intermediate packaging must completely contain the contents in case of breakage or
leakage, regardless of packaging orientation. For liquid hazardous material, the intermediate packaging must
contain sufficient absorbent cushioning material to absorb the entire contents of the inner packaging.
A19.2.7. Outer Packaging. Securely pack the intermediate packaging in a strong, rigid, outer packaging (i.e.,
fiberboard, wood).
A19.2.8. Overpacks. Overpacks may be used and may contain packages of nonhazardous material. All material in
the same outer packaging and overpack must be compatible.
A19.2.9. Dimensions of Outer Package. Two of three outside dimensions of the outer package must measure at
least 100 mm (4 inches). If the outer package is in the shape of a cylinder, it must have a minimum height and
diameter of 100 mm (4 inches) each.
A19.2.10. Other Hazardous Materials and Materials in Excepted Quantities. A package containing hazardous
material in excepted quantities must not contain other hazardous material that are regulated by this manual (requires
a Shipper's Declaration for Dangerous Goods).
A19.2.11. Different Materials in One Outer Packaging. When different hazardous materials are contained in one
outer packaging, use the formula listed below to determine the quantities that can be included in one outer
