Marking

For each package and overpack containing dangerous goods, the shipper is responsible for the following:

• Check that relevant markings are in the correct location on the package and that the markings meet the quality and specification requirements in the DGR.
• Ensure that each outer or single packaging bears the proper specification marking.
• Remove or obliterate any irrelevant markings already on the package or overpack.
• Ensure that all required markings have been applied when the package or overpack is presented to the operator.

There are two types of markings for dangerous goods:

• Packaging use markings
• UN specification markings
