Dear Mr. Anderson:
This is in response to your June 21, 2006 e-mail concerning whether or not wheeled carts
for "Regulated medical waste, 6.2 (infectious), UN 3291, PG II" (RMW) may have a
osed zed p pia in the dethe of azardous Material Regerforons CHOIR: 49 CorR Par
wheeled cart meets all the applicable performance criteria required for this packaging
171-180). You state the surface of the drain plug is smooth within the cart and the
under the HMR.
The answer is yes. Provided the interior of the surface remains smooth such that it does
not reduce the effectiveness of its inner packagings, and the container meets the
performance criteria under § 173.197 and all other applicable requirements under the
HMR, it is the opinion of this office that the wheeled cart you describe is an authorized
RMW packaging under the HMR.
Sincerely,
Hate z. Mitatel
