Cohen\nTimberline Packaging Incorporated\nRef. No: 00-0283\n400 Technology Drive\nCoal Center, PA 15423\nDear Mr. Cohen:\nThis is in response to your October 6, 2000 letter regarding the manufacture of packagings to UN\nStandards under the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HIMR; 49 CFR Parts 171-180). You state\nthat Timberline Packaging manufactures UN packagings for their customer Shandon, Inc. Shandon,\nInc. provided the specifications for the packaging they want Timberline to manufacture including the\nspecification markings to be printed on the packaging (i.e., UN4G/Y5.5/S/00/USA/+BE00210).\nShandon, Inc. has now asked that Timberline sell this carton directly to another company,\nPolysciences Corporation. You ask whether you may sell this carton to Polysciences Corporation.\nThe answer is yes. The responsibility that Timberline Packaging has is to manufacture a packaging to\nthe exact specifications provided to you. The specification marking you apply identifies the third party\nlaboratory that certified the design type and Shandon, Inc. as the manufacturer of the packaging.\nSelling the packaging to another company does not \"transfer the certification\" as you state in your\nI hope this information is helpful.\nSincerely,\nDelmer F. Billings\nChief, Standards Development\nOffice of Hazardous Materials Standards\n128,3\n000283\n00019:","truncated":false,"body_characters":1498}
