Determination of Packing Group
If more than one packing group is indicated for an entry, the packing group for the hazardous material is determined using the criteria for assignment of packing groups specified in subpart D of part 173. When a reevaluation of test data or new data indicates a need to modify the specified packing group(s), the data should be submitted to the Associate Administrator.
[172.101(f)]
§173.121 Class 3-Assignment of packing group.
§173.121 Class 3-Assignment of packing group. (a)(1) The packing group of a Class 3 material is as assigned in column 5 of the § 172.101 Table. When the § 172.101 Table provides more than one packing group for a hazardous material, the packing group must be determined by applying the following criteria:
(2) The initial boiling point of a Class 3 material may be determined by using one of the following test methods: (i) Standard Test Method for Distillation of Petroleum Products at Atmospheric Pressure (ASTM D 86) (IBR; see § 171.7 of this subchapter); (ii) Standard Test Method for Distillation Range of Volatile Organic Liquids (ASTM D 1078) (IBR; see § 171.7 of this subchapter); (iii) Petroleum Products—Determination of Distillation Characteristics at Atmospheric Pressure (ISO 3405) (IBR; see § 171.7 of this subchapter); (iv) Petroleum Products—Determination of Boiling Range Distribution—Gas Chromatography Method (ISO 3924) (IBR; see § 171.7 of this subchapter); or (v) Volatile Organic Liquids—Determination of Boiling Range of Organic Solvents Used as Raw Materials (ISO 4626) (IBR; see § 171.7 of this subchapter). (b) Criteria for inclusion of viscous Class 3 materials in Packing Group III. (1) Viscous Class 3 materials in Packing Group II with a flash point of less than 23 °C (73 °F) may be grouped in Packing Group III provided that– (i) Less than 3 percent of the clear solvent layer separates in the solvent separation test; (ii) The mixture or any separated solvent does not contain any substances with a primary or a subsidiary risk of Division 6.1 or Class 8; (iii) The capacity of the packaging is not more than 30 L (7.9 gallons); except that for transportation by highway, rail or cargo aircraft, the capacity of the package is not more than 100 L (26.3 gallons); and (iv) The viscosity1 and flash point are in accordance with the following table: 1Viscosity determination:Where the substance concerned is non-Newtonian, or where a flow-cup method of viscosity determination is otherwise unsuitable, a variable shear-rate viscometer shall be used to determine the dynamic viscosity coefficient of the substance, at 23 °C (73.4 °F), at a number of shear rates. The values obtained are plotted against shear rate and then extrapolated to zero shear rate. The dynamic viscosity thus obtained, divided by the density, gives the apparent kinematic viscosity at near-zero shear rate.
(2) The methods by which the tests referred to in paragraph (b)(1) of this section shall be performed are as follows: (i) Viscosity test. The flow time in seconds is determined at 23 °C (73.4 °F) using the ISO standard cup with a 4 mm (0.16 inch) jet as set forth in ISO 2431 (IBR, see § 171.7 of this subchapter). Where the flow time exceeds 100 seconds, a further test is carried out using the ISO standard cup with a 6 mm (0.24 inch) jet. (ii) Solvent Separation Test. This test is carried out at 23 °C (73 °F) using a 100.0 mL (3 ounces) measuring cylinder of the stoppered type of approximately 25.0 cm (9.8 inches) total height and of a uniform internal diameter of approximately 30 mm (1.2 inches) over the calibrated section. The sample should be stirred to obtain a uniform consistency, and poured in up to the 100 mL (3 ounces) mark. The stopper should be inserted and the cylinder left standing undisturbed for 24 hours. After 24 hours, the height of the upper separated layer should be measured and the percentage of this layer as compared with the total height of the sample calculated. (c) Transitional provisions. The criteria for packing group assignments in effect on December 31, 2006, may continue to be used until January 1, 2012. [173.121]

POTENTIAL HAZARDS FIRE OR EXPLOSION • HIGHLY FLAMMABLE: Will be easily ignited by heat, sparks or flames. • Vapors may form explosive mixtures with air. • Vapors may travel to source of ignition and flash back. • Most vapors are heavier than air. They will spread along the ground and collect in low or confined areas (sewers, basements, tanks, etc.). • Vapor explosion hazard indoors, outdoors or in sewers. • Those substances designated with a (P) may polymerize explosively when heated or involved in a fire. • Runoff to sewer may create fire or explosion hazard. • Containers may explode when heated. • Many liquids will float on water. • Substance may be transported hot. • For hybrid vehicles, GUIDE 147 (lithium ion or sodium batteries) or GUIDE 138 (sodium batteries) should also be consulted. • If molten aluminum is involved, refer to GUIDE 169. HEALTH CAUTION: Petroleum crude oil (UN1267) may contain TOXIC hydrogen sulphide gas. • Inhalation or contact with material may irritate or burn skin and eyes. • Fire may produce irritating, corrosive and/or toxic gases. • Vapors may cause dizziness or asphyxiation without warning, especially when in closed or confined areas. • Runoff from fire control or dilution water may cause environmental contamination. PUBLIC SAFETY • CALL 911. Then call emergency response telephone number on shipping paper. If shipping paper not available or no answer, refer to appropriate telephone number listed on the inside back cover. • Keep unauthorized personnel away. • Stay upwind, uphill and/or upstream. • Ventilate closed spaces before entering, but only if properly trained and equipped. PROTECTIVE CLOTHING • Wear positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA). • Structural firefighters' protective clothing provides thermal protection but only limited chemical protection. EVACUATION Immediate precautionary measure • Isolate spill or leak area for at least 50 meters (150 feet) in all directions. Large Spill • Consider initial downwind evacuation for at least 300 meters (1000 feet). Fire • If tank, rail tank car or highway tank is involved in a fire, ISOLATE for 800 meters (1/2 mile) in all directions; also, consider initial evacuation for 800 meters (1/2 mile) in all directions. EMERGENCY RESPONSE FIRE CAUTION: The majority of these products have a very low flash point. Use of water spray when fighting fire may be inefficient. CAUTION: For mixtures containing alcohol or polar solvent, alcohol-resistant foam may be more effective. Small Fire • Dry chemical, CO2, water spray or regular foam. If regular foam is ineffective or unavailable, use alcohol-resistant foam. Large Fire • Water spray, fog or regular foam. If regular foam is ineffective or unavailable, use alcohol-resistant foam. • Avoid aiming straight or solid streams directly onto the product. • If it can be done safely, move undamaged containers away from the area around the fire. Fire Involving Tanks, Rail Tank Cars or Highway Tanks • Fight fire from maximum distance or use unmanned master stream devices or monitor nozzles. • Cool containers with flooding quantities of water until well after fire is out. • For petroleum crude oil, do not spray water directly into a breached tank car. This can lead to a dangerous boil over. • Withdraw immediately in case of rising sound from venting safety devices or discoloration of tank. • ALWAYS stay away from tanks in direct contact with flames. • For massive fire, use unmanned master stream devices or monitor nozzles; if this is impossible, withdraw from area and let fire burn. SPILL OR LEAK • ELIMINATE all ignition sources (no smoking, flares, sparks or flames) from immediate area. • All equipment used when handling the product must be grounded. • Do not touch or walk through spilled material. • Stop leak if you can do it without risk. • Prevent entry into waterways, sewers, basements or confined areas. • A vapor-suppressing foam may be used to reduce vapors. • Absorb or cover with dry earth, sand or other non-combustible material and transfer to containers. • Use clean, non-sparking tools to collect absorbed material. Large Spill • Dike far ahead of liquid spill for later disposal. • Water spray may reduce vapor, but may not prevent ignition in closed spaces. FIRST AID Refer to the "General First Aid" section.Specific First Aid: • Wash skin with soap and water. • In case of burns, immediately cool affected skin for as long as possible with cold water. Do not remove clothing if adhering to skin.
GENERAL FIRST AID
• Call 911 or emergency medical service.
• Ensure that medical personnel are aware of the material(s) involved, take precautions to protect themselves and avoid contamination.
• Move victim to fresh air if it can be done safely.
• Administer oxygen if breathing is difficult.
• If victim is not breathing:
- DO NOT perform mouth-to-mouth resuscitation; the victim may have ingested or inhaled the substance.
- If equipped and pulse detected, wash face and mouth, then give artificial respiration using a proper respiratory medical device (bag-valve mask, pocket mask equipped with a one-way valve or other device).
- If no pulse detected or no respiratory medical device available, provide continuous compressions. Conduct a pulse check every two minutes or monitor for any signs of spontaneous respirations.
• Remove and isolate contaminated clothing and shoes.
• For minor skin contact, avoid spreading material on unaffected skin.
• In case of contact with substance, remove immediately by flushing skin or eyes with running water for at least 20 minutes.
• For severe burns, immediate medical attention is required.
• Effects of exposure (inhalation, ingestion, or skin contact) to substance may be delayed.
• Keep victim calm and warm.
• Keep victim under observation.
• For further assistance, contact your local Poison Control Center.
• Note: Basic Life Support (BLS) and Advanced Life Support (ALS) should be done by trained professionals.
