Packing & Packaging
All transported hazardous materials must be appropriately packaged to ensure the hazardous material is not released during transportation. Before we discuss packaging requirements, let's examine some key terminology related to packaging.
Packaging refers to a receptacle and any other components or materials necessary for the receptacle to perform its containment function. Packagings include:
- Fiberboard boxes
- Drums
- Jerricans
- Portable tanks
- Cargo tanks
- Tank cars
- Cylinders
- Containers other than freight containers and overpacks
The term package refers to the packaging plus its contents. Therefore, a package is the type of packaging used as well as the hazardous material contained within.
