ADDITIONAL PACKING REQUIREMENTS

- If the article contains more than one item of dangerous goods, the individual dangerous goods must be enclosed to prevent them reacting dangerously with one another during transport (see 4;1.1.3).

- Receptacles containing dangerous goods must be so secured or cushioned so as to prevent their breakage or leakage and so as to control their movement within the article during normal conditions of transport. Cushioning material must not react dangerously with the contents of the receptacles. Any leakage of the contents must not substantially impair the protective properties of the cushioning material.

- "Package orientation" labels (Figure 5-29), or preprinted orientation labels meeting the same specification as either Figure 5-29 or ISO Standard 780-1997 must be affixed on at least two opposite vertical sides with the arrows pointing in the correct direction only when required to ensure liquid dangerous goods remain in their intended orientation.

- Irrespective of 5;3.2.10, articles containing magnetized material meeting the requirements of Packing Instruction 953 must also bear the "Magnetized material" label (Figure 5-27).

- For Division 2.2 gases, cylinders for gases, their contents and filling ratios must conform to the requirements of Packing Instruction 200.

- Dangerous goods in articles must be packed in strong outer packagings unless the receptacles containing the dangerous goods are afforded adequate protection by the construction of the articles.

Fuel system components

- Fuel system components must be emptied of fuel as far as practicable and all openings must be sealed securely. They must be packed:

 1) in sufficient absorbent material to absorb the maximum amount of liquid which may possibly remain after emptying. Where the outer packaging is not liquid tight, a means of containing the liquid in the event of leakage must be provided in the form of a leakproof liner, plastic bag or other equally efficient means of containment; and

 2) in strong outer packagings.
