Performance Oriented Packaging Testing of Wirebound Wood Box Containing Two M2A1 Ammunition Boxes for Packing Group II Hazardous Materials

Abstract

A wirebound wood box containing two M2A1 Ammunition Boxes was tested to ascertain whether the container would meet the requirements of Performance Oriented Packaging (POP) as specified by the United Nations Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods. A base level vibration test was also conducted. The objectives were to evaluate the adequacy of the container in protecting hazardous materials. The M2A1 box is made of steel and has a hinged lid with a handle on top. The wirebound wood box meets the requirements of PPP-B-585 and PPP-B-46506.
