(a) Marking must be as prescribed in § 178.3.

(b) Marking on the outside of each package must be as follows: “DOT-6M Type B,” “Radioactive Materials,” or “Fissile Radioactive Materials,” as appropriate; and the gauge of metal of the outer drum in the thinnest part, rated capacity of the outer drum in gallons, and year of manufacture (for example, 18-30-69). When the gauge of the metal in the drum wall differs from that in the head, both must be indicated with a slanting line between, and with the gauge of the body indicated first (e.g., 18/16-55-69 for 18-gauge body and 16-gauge head).
