Type A Certified Drums

Denis,
 
The quick  and dirty  answer is  absolutely not.   A  shipper  (you)  is
required to  have on  file for  one year  after the  date  of  the  last
shipment complete  documentation that  demonstrates  that  your  package
meets all the DOT 7A Type A requirements.

Hello,
 
Can a 55 gal drum be DOT certified with out certification papers?
The company is stating that they have Type A DOT certified drums
with out bungs, but they do not offer certification papers.  I
guess I'm confused.
