(4) Cylinders. When the provisions of this subchapter require that a DOT specification or a UN pressure receptacle must be used for a hazardous material, a packaging
authorized by the Transport Canada TDG Regulations may be used only if it corresponds to the DOT specification or UN standard authorized by this subchapter.
Unless otherwise excepted in this subchapter, a cylinder (including a UN pressure receptacle) may not be transported unless
(i) The packaging is a UN pressure receptacle marked with the letters “CAN” for Canada as a country of manufacture or a country of approval or is a cylinder that was
manufactured, inspected and tested in accordance with a DOT specification or a UN standard prescribed in part 178 of this subchapter, except that cylinders not
conforming to these requirements must meet the requirements in §171.23. Each cylinder must conform to the applicable requirements in part 173 of this subchapter for
the hazardous material involved.
(ii) The packaging is a Canadian Transport Commission (CTC) specification cylinder manufactured, originally marked and approved in accordance with the CTC
regulations and in full conformance with the Transport Canada TDG Regulations.
(A) The CTC specification corresponds with a DOT specification and the cylinder markings are the same as those specified in this subchapter except that they were
originally marked with the letters “CTC” in place of “DOT”;
(B) The cylinder has been requalified under a program authorized by the Transport Canada TDG Regulations or requalified in accordance with the requirements in
§180.205 within the prescribed requalification period provided for the corresponding DOT specification;
(C) When the regulations authorize a cylinder for a specific hazardous material with a specification marking prefix of “DOT”, a cylinder marked “CTC” which otherwise
bears the same markings that would be required of the specified “DOT” cylinder may be used; and
(D) Transport of the cylinder and the material it contains is in all other respects in conformance with the requirements of this subchapter (e.g. valve protection, filling
requirements, operational requirements, etc.).
(5) Class 1 (explosive) materials. When transporting Class 1 (explosive) material, rail and motor carriers must comply with 49 CFR 1572.9 and 1572.11 to the extent
the requirements apply.
(6) Primary lithium batteries and cells. Packages containing primary lithium batteries and cells that meet the exception in §172.102, Special Provision 188 or
189 of this subchapter must be marked “PRIMARY LITHIUM BATTERIES—FORBIDDEN FOR TRANSPORT ABOARD PASSENGER AIRCRAFT” or “LITHIUM
METAL BATTERIES—FORBIDDEN FOR TRANSPORT ABOARD PASSENGER AIRCRAFT.” The provisions of this paragraph do not apply to packages that
contain 5 kg (11 pounds) net weight or less of primary lithium batteries cells that are contained in or packed with equipment.
(b) Shipments to or from Mexico. Unless otherwise excepted, hazardous materials shipments from Mexico to the United States or from the United States to Mexico
must conform to all applicable requirements of this subchapter. When a hazardous material that is a material poisonous by inhalation (see §171.8) is transported by
highway or rail from Mexico to the United States, or from the United States to Mexico, the following requirements apply:
(1) The shipping description must include the words “Toxic Inhalation Hazard” or “Poison-Inhalation Hazard” or “Inhalation Hazard”, as required in §172.203(m) of this
subchapter.
(2) The material must be packaged in accordance with requirements of this subchapter.
(3) The package must be marked in accordance with §172.313 of this subchapter.
(4) Except as provided in paragraph (e)(5) of this section, the package must be labeled or placarded POISON GAS or POISON INHALATION HAZARD, as appropriate,
in accordance with subparts E and F of this subchapter.
(5) A label or placard that conforms to the UN Recommendations (IBR, see §171.7) specifications for a “Division 2.3” or “Division 6.1” label or placard may be
substituted for the POISON GAS or POISON INHALATION HAZARD label or placard required by §§172.400(a) and 172.504(e) of this subchapter on a package
transported in a closed transport vehicle or freight container. The transport vehicle or freight container must be marked with identification numbers for the material,
regardless of the total quantity contained in the transport vehicle or freight container, in the manner specified in §172.313(c) of this subchapter and placarded as
required by subpart F of this subchapter.
§ 171.24 Additional requirements for the use of the ICAO Technical Instructions.
(a) A hazardous material that is offered for transportation or transported within the United States by aircraft, and by motor vehicle or rail either before or after being
transported by aircraft in accordance with the ICAO Technical Instructions (IBR, see §171.7), as authorized in paragraph (a) of §171.22, must conform to the
requirements in §171.22, as applicable, and this section.
(b) Any person who offers for transportation or transports a hazardous material in accordance with the ICAO Technical Instructions must comply with the following
additional conditions and requirements:
(1) All applicable requirements in parts 171 and 175 of this subchapter (also see 14 CFR 121.135, 121.401, 121.433a, 135.323, 135.327 and 135.333);
(2) The quantity limits prescribed in the ICAO Technical Instructions for transportation by passenger-carrying or cargo aircraft, as applicable;
(3) The conditions or requirements of a United States variation, when specified in the ICAO Technical Instructions.
(c) Highway transportation. For transportation by highway prior to or after transportation by aircraft, a shipment must conform to the applicable requirements of part 177
of this subchapter, and the motor vehicle must be placarded in accordance with subpart F of part 172.
(d) Conditions and requirements specific to certain materials . Hazardous materials offered for transportation or transported in accordance with the ICAO Technical
Instructions must conform to the following specific conditions and requirements, as applicable:
(1) Batteries (i) Nonspillable wet electric storage batteries. Nonspillable wet electric storage batteries are not subject to the requirements of this subchapter provided
(A) The battery meets the conditions specified in Special Provision 67 of the ICAO Technical Instructions;
(B) The battery, its outer packaging, and any overpack are plainly and durably marked “NONSPILLABLE” or “NONSPILLABLE BATTERY”; and
(C) The batteries or battery assemblies are offered for transportation or transported in a manner that prevents short circuiting or forced discharge,
including, but not limited to, protection of exposed terminals.
(ii) Primary lithium batteries and cells. Primary lithium batteries and cells are forbidden for transportation aboard passenger-carrying aircraft. Equipment
containing or packed with primary lithium batteries or cells are forbidden for transport aboard passenger-carrying aircraft except as provided in §172.102,
Special Provision A101 of this subchapter. When transported aboard cargo-only aircraft, packages containing primary lithium batteries and cells
transported in accordance with Packing Instructions 968-970 (Section II) of the ICAO Technical Instructions must be marked “PRIMARY LITHIUM
BATTERIES—FORBIDDEN FOR TRANSPORT ABOARD PASSENGER AIRCRAFT” or “LITHIUM METAL BATTERIES—FORBIDDEN FOR TRANSPORT
ABOARD PASSENGER AIRCRAFT.” This marking is not required on packages that contain 5 kg (11 pounds) net weight or less of primary lithium batteries
or cells that are contained in or packed with equipment.
