Specifically, you\nask whether a packaging used for a limited quantity shipment by highway is subject to vibration\ntest requirements in § 178.608.\nThe answer is no. In accordance with the applicable limited quantity requirements in Part 173, a\nlimited quantity package transported by highway is excepted from the specification packaging\nrequirements, including the vibration standard in § 178.608. However, in accordance with\n§ 173.24a(a)(5), a packaging used for a limited quantity package must be capable of\nwithstanding, without rupture or leakage, the vibration test procedure specified in § 178.608.\nMeeting this requirement may be based on performance of the test, institutional knowledge, prior\nexperience, modeling, or other data.\nI hope this information is helpful. Please contact us if we can be of further assistance.\nSincerely,\nDirk Der Kinderen\nChief, Standards Development Branch\nStandards and Rulemaking Division\n\n<<<PAGE 2>>>\n\nNashinaton, DC 20590\nsear shantI wrote this oter for training\nout now an asking for a letter of Clarificatin\nspecitically, as per the enclosed letter,\nWhat are the package testing requirements\nfor a limited Quantity package berry\nShipped transported by yround in the\nAll of the Exceptions in Subpart D refer to\nsubpart B which refers to Suppart M\n(specification Packaging for or trom which\nthe limited Quantity is excepted?\nI hope this letter finds you well, I hope\nYou enjoyed your Labor Day Weekend.\n\"ordialmentes\nSeau Kelly\n\n<<<PAGE 3>>>\n\ne\nility of the shipper to ensure lhat such. packag-\nIn every way, compatible with the artidea or\nes to be contained within such packagings.

This is a no brainer. Section 173.27(f)(2)(G)(v), clearly states the package\nmust be drop tested. Section 173.27(f)(2)(G)(vi), clearly states the package must be stack\ntested.
