a) each inner packaging contains not more than 70 mL;

b) the inner packaging is designed so that the vent is not immersed in liquid in any orientation;

c) each inner packaging is enclosed in an intermediate rigid plastic packaging with a small opening to permit release of gas and contains a buffer that neutralizes the contents of the inner packaging in the event of leakage;

d) intermediate packagings are packed in a fibreboard box (4G) outer packaging;

e) each outer packaging contains not more than 1.4 L of liquid; and
