Approval of shipments

Each requirement in para. 820 should be applied separately. For example, a consignment of a vented Type B(M) package containing fissile material may need a shipment approval according to both paras 820(a) and 820(c). 

The need to apply para. 820 is governed by the actual contents of the package to be transported. For example, when a Type B(M) packaging, for which the package 

The Regulations conceptually differentiate between design approvals and shipment approvals. A shipment approval may be incorporated into the corresponding design approval certificate, and if this is done care should be exercised to clearly define the dual nature of the approval certificate and to apply the proper type codes. For type codes see para. 828.

An application for approval of shipments under special arrangement shall include all the information necessary to satisfy the competent authority that the overall level of safety in transport is at least equivalent to that which would be provided if all the applicable requirements of these Regulations had been met. The application shall also include ... 

Note 3 Multilateral approval of shipment required if contents exceed 3 x KfAj, or 3 X 10 A2, or 1000 TBq, whichever is the lower, or if controlled intermittent venting is allowed (see para. 820 of the Regulations). 

Diesel-water emulsions are not approved for shipment by finished product pipeline companies. Consequently, the emulsion must be made on-site or near the point of sale. Other issues currently being resolved deal with improving the cold-temperature handling properties of the high-water-content fuel and improving the long-term storage stability of fuel blends... 

ALL EQUIPMENT AND MANIFOLDS OESCRIBED IN THIS SPECIFICATION SHALL BE ASSEMBLED AND TESTED UNDER DESIGN VACUUMS AT THE VENDORS SHOPS TO ASSURE PROPER FIT, VACUUM TIGHTNESS AND THE GENERAL OPERABILITY OF THE DESIGN. ROCHE INSPECTION AND APPROVAL OF THE RUN-IN TESTS IS REQUIRED PRIOR TO SHIPMENT. 

The manufacturer shall repair or replace without charge, f.o.b. point of shipment, any material which, within one year from date of delivery, is proven defective in materials or workmanship, provided that the purchaser shall have given the manufacturer written notice of such defect and that Such defects are exclusive of corrosion, erosion or normal wear, and provided that the equipment has been operated in accordance with generally approved practice. 

The differing circumstances under which a validation study is prompted often dictate the best approach to be used. Agreeably, prospective validation, for which the validation studies are all completed and approved before shipment of any product, is preferred. There are however, opportunities to complete certain validation studies when producing product intended to be administered to patients. Such circumstances may arise during clinical manufacturing, when exten-...

The 3000 Aj limit for non-special form material was established taking into account risk analysis work by Hubert et al. [9] concerning Type B package performance in air transport accidents. It is also the threshold qnantity for which shipment approval of Type B(M) packages is required. 

Although an approval of a shipment under special arrangement wiU require consideration of both the shipment procedures and the package design, the approval is conceptually a shipment approval. Eurther guidance may be found in paras 312.1-312.4. 

Responsible organization — The organization/party/person having overall responsibiUty for one or more areas of transport (e.g. approval, mannfacturing, shipment, in-transit storage). 

Note 1 Before the first shipment of any package requiring competent authority approval of the design, the consignor shall ensure that a copy of the approval certificate for that design has been submitted to the competent authority of each country (see para. 558 of the Regulations). 

Review and approval of research protocols are conducted by NIH, S E, or National Science Foundation. Acronyms APHIS, Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, USDA EPA, Environmental Protection Agency FDA, Food and Drug Administration NIH, National Institutes of Health S E, Science and Education, USDA. APHIS issues permits for the importation and domestic shipment of certain plants and animals, plant pests, and animal pathogens, and for the shipment or release to the environment of regulated agents. 

Amber list Low risk potential, but subject to notification and approval before shipment. Procedure simplified for waste movements to specific recovery plants and for regular shipments of similar material. 

Production and Shipment. Estimated adiponitrile production capacities in the U.S. in 1992 were about 625 thousand metric tons and worldwide capacity was in excess of lO metric tons. The DOT/IMO classification for adiponitrile is class 6.1 hazard, UN No. 2205. It requires a POISON label on all containers and is in packing group III. Approved materials of constmction for shipping, storage, and associated transportation equipment are carbon steel and type 316 stainless steel. Either centrifugal or positive displacement pumps may be used. Carbon dioxide or chemical-foam fire extinguishers should be used. There are no specifications for commercial adiponitrile. The typical composition is 99.5 wt % adiponitrile. Impurities that may be present depend on the method of manufacture, and thus, vary depending on the source. 

Shipment. The DOT/IMO shipping information is shown in Table 6. Approved materials of constmction for shipping, storage, and associated transportation equipment are lined carbon steel (DOT spec. 105 S 500W) and type 316 stainless steel. Water spray, carbon dioxide, chemical-foam, or dry-chemical fire extinguishers may be used.
