Exemptions From UN Specific Packaging Requirements
In A3.1.1.1, see the list of items that are exempt from UN performance specification packaging test requirements; the packaging paragraph from Table A4.1 will specify the required packaging to be used.
Transportability (A3.1.2) discusses that containers must be securely constructed and closed to prevent leakage. Leakage can occur due to changes in temperature, humidity, and or altitude, or due to damage during transportation and in-transit handling.
Hazardous materials must be packaged and prepared using one of the following:
- DLA Performance Oriented Packaging (or POP) Program,
- DOD Special Packaging Instruction (or SPI), or an approved service drawing,
- technical publication (for example technical order or manual),
- manufacturer's supplied closing instructions,
- UN specification test report, or
- technical knowledge and training to construct strong outside packaging when required by this manual.
