ADDITIONAL PACKING REQUIREMENTS

- Packagings must meet the Packing Group II performance requirements.
- Receptacles within articles containing gases must meet the requirements of 4;4.1.1 and 6;5 as appropriate or meet a national or regionally recognized pressure receptacle standard such as the European Pressure Equipment Directive (2014/68/EU) or ASME Section VII,Div.1 R that is capable of providing an equivalent level of protection as Packing Instructions 200 or 219.
- Articles must be packed to prevent movement and inadvertent operation during normal conditions of transport.

ROBUST ARTICLES

Robust articles may alternatively be transported in strong outer packagings constructed of suitable material and of adequate strength and design in relation to the packaging capacity and its intended use. The packagings must achieve a level of protection that is at least equivalent to that provided by 6;1. Articles may be transported unpackaged or on pallets when the dangerous goods are afforded equivalent protection by the article in which they are contained.
