Special provisions (§172.102)
12 — In concentrations greater than 40 percent, this material has strong oxidizing properties and is capable of starting fires in contact with combustible materials. If appropriate, a package containing this material must conform to the additional labeling requirements of § 172.402 of this subchapter.
A60 — Sterilization devices, when containing less than 30 mL per inner packaging with not more than 150 mL per outer packaging, may be transported in accordance with the provisions in § 173.4a, irrespective of § 173.4a(b), provided such packagings were first subjected to comparative fire testing. Comparative fire testing between a package as prepared for transport (including the substance to be transported) and an identical package filled with water must show that the maximum temperature measured inside the packages during testing does not differ by more than 200 °C (392 °F). Packagings may include a vent to permit the slow escape of gas (i.e. not more than 0.1 mL/hour per 30 mL inner packaging at 20 °C (68 °F) produced from gradual decomposition. The requirements of §§ 173.24(g)(1) and 173.27(c) do not apply.
B53 — Packagings must be made of either aluminum or steel.
B80 — Each cargo tank must have a minimum design pressure of 276 kPa (40 psig).
B81 — Venting and pressure relief devices for tank car tanks and cargo tanks must be approved by the Associate Administrator.
B85 — Cargo tanks must be marked with the name of the lading in accordance with the requirements of § 172.302(b).
