Performance Oriented Packaging Testing of PA 156 and PA 157 Metal Containers for Packing Group II Solid Hazardous Materials

Abstract

Qualification tests were performed to determine whether the in-service PA 157 Metal Container could be utilized to contain properly dunnaged solid type hazardous materials weighing up to a gross weight of 32 kg (71 pounds). The tests were conducted in accordance with Performance Oriented Packaging (POP) requirements specified by the United Nations Recommendations on the Transportation of Dangerous Goods and the Department of Transportation's Title 49 CFR 107. The containers have conformed to the POP performance requirements; i.e., the container successfully retained its contents throughout the specified tests.
