Such design and testing is time consuming and expensive. Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a container that can be used to package a wide variety of hazardous materials for safe transportation. Another object of the present invention is to provide a container that satisfies the performance criteria specified in Title 49, Part 178 of the United States Code of Federal Regulations.
