PACKING INSTRUCTION 650
OPERATOR VARIATIONS: AO-03, AS-08, CO-07, CS-07, FX-09, KL-08, LA-07, QF-03
General Requirements
Diagnostic specimens must be packed in good quality packagings, which must be strong enough to withstand the shocks and loadings normally encountered during transport, including trans-shipment between transport units and warehouses as well as any removal from a pallet or overpack for subsequent manual or mechanical handling. Packagings must be constructed and closed so as to prevent any loss of contents when prepared for transport which might be caused under normal conditions of transport, by vibration, or by changes in temperature, humidity or pressure.
Primary receptacles must be packed in secondary packagings in such a way that, under normal conditions of transport, they cannot break, be punctured or leak their contents into the secondary packaging. Secondary packagings must be secured in outer packagings with suitable cushioning material. Any leakage of the contents must not substantially impair the protective properties of the cushioning material or of the outer packaging.
Packages must be prepared as follows:
(a) For Liquids:
■ The primary receptacle(s) must be Ieakproof and must not contain more than 500 mL;
■ There must be absorbent material placed between the primary receptacle and the secondary packaging; if several fragile primary receptacles are placed in a single secondary packaging, they must be either individually wrapped or separated so as to prevent contact between them. The absorbent material, such as cotton wool, must be in sufficient quantity to absorb the entire contents of the primary receptacles and there must be a secondary packaging which must be leakproof.
■ The primary receptacle or the secondary packaging must be capable of withstanding, without leakage, an internal pressure producing a pressure differential of not less than 95 kPa in the range of -40°C to +55°C (-40°F to 130°F).
■ The outer packaging must not contain more than 4 L.
(b) For Solids:
■ The primary receptacle(s) must be siftproof and must not contain more then 500 g.
■ If several fragile primary receptacles are placed in a single secondary packaging, they must be either individually wrapped or separated so as to prevent contact between them and there must be a secondary packaging which must be Ieakproof.
■ The outer packaging must not contain more than 4 kg.
An itemized list of contents must be enclosed between the secondary packaging and the outer packaging. Each completed package must be capable of successfully passing the drop test described in 6.5.1 except that the height of the drop must not be less than 1.2 m.
Packages consigned as freight must be at least 100 mm (4 in) in the smallest overall external dimension.
Each package and the "Nature and Quantity of Goods" box of the air waybill must show the text "DIAGNOSTIC SPECIMEN PACKED IN COMPLIANCE WITH IATA PACKING INSTRUCTION 650".
With effect from 1 January 2004, each package must also be
marked in accordance with 7.1.5.8 to indicate that the shipper
has determined that the packaging meets the applicable air
transport requirements. The marking must be applied adjacent to
the words "Diagnostic Specimens".
A Shipper's Declaration for Dangerous Goods is not required.
Provided diagnostic specimens are packed in accordance with this Packing Instruction, no other requirements of these Regulations apply except for the definition in 3.6.2.1.4 and the reporting of dangerous goods accidents and incidents in 9.6.1.
Specific Requirements
Although exceptional cases, (for example, the shipment of whole organs) may require special packaging, the great majority of diagnostic specimens can and must be packaged according to the following guidelines.
Substances shipped at ambient temperatures or higher: Primary receptacles include those of glass, metal or plastic. Positive means of ensuring a leak-proof seal, such as heat seal, skirted stopper or metal crimp seal must be provided. If screw caps are used these must be reinforced with adhesive tape.
Substances shipped refrigerated or frozen (wet ice, prefrozen packs, Carbon dioxide, solid [dry ice]): Ice Carbon dioxide, solid (dry ice) or other refrigerant must be placed outside the secondary packaging(s) or alternatively in an overpack with one or more completed packages. Interior support must be provided to secure the secondary packaging(s) or packages in the original position after the ice or Carbon dioxide, solid (dry ice) has been dissipated. If ice is used the packaging must be leak-proof. If Carbon dioxide, solid (dry ice) is used the outer packaging must permit the release of carbon-dioxide gas. The primary receptacle must maintain its containment integrity at the temperature of the refrigerant as well as at the temperatures and pressure of air transport to which the receptacle could be subjected if refrigeration were to be lost.
Substances shipped in liquid nitrogen: Plastic capable of withstanding very low temperatures must be used instead of glass receptacles.
Secondary packaging must also withstand very low temperatures and in most cases will need to be fitted over individual primary receptacles. If multiple primary receptacles are placed in a single secondary packaging, they must be separated and supported to ensure that contact between them is prevented. Requirements for shipment of liquid nitrogen must also be observed. The primary receptacle must maintain its containment integrity at the temperature of the refrigerant used as well as at the temperatures and pressure of air transport to which the receptacle could be subjected if refrigeration were to be lost.
Lyophilized substances: Primary receptacles must be either flame-sealed glass ampoules or rubber-stoppered glass vials with metal seals.
