Dear Ms. O'Connor:
This is in response to your March 3, 2010 letter requesting clarification on the applicability of
the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR Parts 171-180) to a calcium silicate alloy
material. You request confirmation from this office that the test report submitted with your
letter provides sufficient verification that the tested material is not subject to the requirements of
the HMR.
As provided in § 173.22, it is the shipperts responsibility to properly classify a hazardous
material. Such determinations are not required to be verified by this office. However, based on
the test results you provided, it is our opinion that the calcium silicate alloy material described
in the test report does not meet the definition of a Division 4.3 material and, provided it does not
meet the criteria for another hazard class, it is not subject to the HMR.
I hope this answers your inquiry. If you have further questions, please do not hesitate to contact
this office.
Sincerely,
bL~~
Charles E. Betts
ief, Standards Development
