An IME Standard 22 container that is not permanently attached to a motor\nvehicle may meet the definition of an overpack in § 171.8, provided it fulfills the\nrequirements in § 173.25.\nAn outer packaging, as provided by § 171.8, is the outermost enclosure of a composite or\ncombination packaging, together with any absorbent materials, cushioning, and any other\ncomponents necessary to contain and protect inner receptacles or inner packagings.\nSections 173.63(f) and 177.835(g) authorize IME Standard containers or compartments\nas the outer packaging of a cornbination packaging. Therefore, provided it conforms with\n173.63(f), an IME Standard 22 container that is not permanently attached to a rnoto\nehicle may serve as the outer packaging of a completed combination packag\nouter packaging, it must be marked and labeled in accordance with Part 172, Subparts D\nIn both instances, whether the IME Standard 22 container is used as an overpack or as an\nand E, respectively.\nI hope this information is helpful.
