Are limited quantities and ORM-D shipments listed in § 172.500(b) excepted from placarding requirements?
A5. Yes. The provisions of § 172.500(b) except limited quantities and ORM-D materials from placarding requirements. However, the HIVIR also provide additional exceptions for limited quantity and ORM-D materials. Section references to those exceptions are provided in Column 8A of the Hazardous Materials Table (IFIMT; § 172.101), as applicable. Q6. Is a bulk packaging containing only the residue of a hazardous material subject to placarding requirements? A6. In accordance with § 173.29(a), a packaging containing only the residue of a hazardous material must be offered for transportation and transported in the same manner as when it previously contained a greater quantity of that hazardous material. Generally, bulk packagings containing the residue of a hazardous material will require placarding. I hope this information is helpful. Please contact us if you require additional assistance. Sincerely, John A.
