§ 146.05-8 Non-specification containMetal barrels or drums, wooden barrels or kegs, wooden boxes, fiberboard boxes, burlap bags, multiwall paper bags and bales comprise the type of non-specification containers that are permitted for certain regulated substances. The detailed regulations in the tables for the various classifications set forth the requirements governing such containers where permitted. The design and construction of non-specification containers must be such as to prevent the occurrence of defects that permit leakage of their contents and strong enough to stand, without failure, all shocks ordinarily incident to handling and stowage during transit. The shipper's attention is called to the regulation in the various tables which requires the officer in charge of loading the vessel to satisfy himself that a non-specification container offered for transportation, when containing a permitted substance, is sufficient in all respects for the purpose intended.

§ 146.05-9 Specification containers packed in outside packages. Outside specification shipping containers that do not contain explosives or corrosive liquids, except electrolyte or alkaline corrosive battery fluid or electric storage batteries containing electrolyte or alkaline corrosive battery fluid or fire extinguisher charges, may be shipped when tightly packed in specification boxes or barrels or in non-specification boxes, barrels or crates. Such outside packages shall be marked with the prescribed name of contents and labeled as required by the regulation in this part. Containers required by the regulations in this part to be marked "This Side Up" shall be packed in the outside package with filling holes up and the outside package must be marked "This Side Up". The outside package shall also be marked "Inside Containers Comply With Prescribed Specifications" unless the specification marking on the inside container is visible through openings in the outside package.

§ 146.05-10 Reuse of containers. (a) Containers used more than once (refilled and reshipped after having been previously emptied) shall be in such condition, including closing devices and cushioning materials, that they will protect their contents during transit as efficiently as new containers. Repairs must be made in an efficient manner and parts that are weak, broken, or otherwise deteriorated shall be replaced.

(b) Markings applied as prescribed by the specifications shall be maintained in a legible condition.

(c) If, on account of painting or any other reason, the markings as prescribed for any container cannot be kept plain and legible, a metal plate, brazed or soldered or otherwise securely fastened to the container, with a reproduction of the prescribed markings plainly stamped thereon, may be permitted.

(d) Containers previously used for the shipment of any explosive or other dangerous article shall have old marks of contents, addresses, and labels, if any, thoroughly removed or obliterated before being used for the shipment of other articles.

(e) Boxes previously used for high explosives containing a liquid explosive ingredient shall not be again used for shipments of any character.

(f) Kegs previously used for any chlorate shall not be again used for shipments of any character.

(g) Metal kegs previously used for black powder not contained in an interior package shall not be again used for shipments of any explosive.

(h) Single-trip I. C. C. specification containers, from which contents have once been removed following use for shipment of any article, shall not be again used as shipping containers for explosives, inflammable liquids, inflammable solids, oxidizing materials, corrosive liquids or poisonous articles as defined herein. Where specific permission is given in these detailed regulations in the tables for Combustible Liquids or Hazardous Articles such single-trip containers are permitted for reuse when in compliance with paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) of this section.

§ 146.05-11 Certification. (a) The shipper offering for transportation by vessels subject to the regulations in this part any Class A or Class B explosive and blasting caps or electric blasting caps in any quantity, and any inflammable liquid, inflammable solid, oxidizing material, corrosive liquid, compressed gas, or poison requiring labels, shall show the following certificate in the lower lefthand corner of the originating shipping paper over the written or stamped facsimile signature of the shipper or of his duly authorized agent:

This is to certify that the above articles are properly described by name, and are packed

(b) For shipments of combustible liquids or hazardous articles, the certificate shall read as follows:

This is to certify that the above articles are properly described by name, and are packed and marked and are in proper condition for transportation according to the regulations established by the Commandant of the Coast Guard.

(c) For the relief of shippers from multiplicity of certifications required for packages which may move by rail freight, highway, and water, and pending further consideration and order of the Interstate Commerce Commission, such shipments may in lieu of the certification required by paragraph (a) or (b) of this section be certified as follows:

This is to certify that the above articles are properly described by name, and are packed and marked and are in proper condition for transportation according to the applicable regulations prescribed by the Interstate Commerce Commission and the Commandant of the Coast Guard.

(d) Detailed regulations in §§ 146.21100 to 146.27-100, require specific certification for certain substances. When these substances are required to be certificated under paragraph (a), (b), or (c) of this section the certificate required by the detailed regulations shall be in addition thereto.
