NY 11720\nDear Mr. Patton:\nrequirements of the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR Parts 171-180).\nThis is in response to your May 26, 2006 letter regarding the marking and labeling\nYou include a flammable liquid hazard label, an inhalation hazard label, and an\n(MSDS) for the \"Liquid No Wash\" product. Specifically, you ask if the labels and\norientation arrow marking in your letter. You also provide a Material Safety Data Sheet\norientation markings included in your letter are required to be displayed on a 5-gallon\ncontainer of the product.\nUnder § 173.22, it is the shipper's responsibility to properly class and describe a\nhazardous material. Marking and labeling requirements are based on the proper shipping\ndescription of the hazardous material. The MSDS sheet for your product indicates the\nPG II.\" For a material described as such, the \"Flammable liquid\" label specified in\nproper shipping description for \"Liquid No Wash\" is \"Paint related material, 3, UN1263,\n§ 172.419 and included in your letter must be displayed on the outer surface of the\nackage. An inhalation hazard label may not be displayed on a package containin\nLiquid No Wash\" because the material does not meet the definition of a poiso\ninhalation hazard. Orientation arrow markings must be displayed on two opposite\nvertical sides of a combination package having inner packagings containing liquid\ndisplayed on the surface of a single package (e.g., a 5-gallon container) or inne:\nhazardous materials. Although not required by the HMR, orientation arrows may be\npackaging.\nI hope this information is helpful.
