Re: IATA regs

[JDillon@ligand.com (Jon Dillon)]

Patrick and others,

Another colleague pointed out an error in my last posting that changes the 
meaning of that section.  I omitted some of the text from section 10.5.9.2 and 
in that ommission I also left out an important word "except".  The following is 
the complete text from that section.

10.5.9.2  Excepted packages are not subject to the provisions relating to
categorisation of packages, packing, labeling, marking and other shipper's
responsibilities, operator's responsibilities and packaging nomenclature,
marking, requirements and tests except for the provisions relating to marking of 
gross weight, documentation completion, inspection and decontamination 
requirements, the reporting of dangerous goods accidents, incidents and other 
occurrences, general packaging requirements and any other provisions
specifically retained in this Section.

Subject: IATA  regs

We are recieving some limited quantity radioactive materials from 
another institution in the near future.  We are supplying the 
styrofoam inserts as well as the outer boxes.  DOT regs do not 
requiere any package certifications for "strong tight containers". 
The inistitution that is sending us the materials wants to know if 
the boxes we are sending them conform to IATA regs.  
Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thank you in advance for your help.
