As Ask X3, your fleet-compliance assistant, here is what 49 CFR 173.167 requires for ID8000 consumer commodities:
* Applicability: It applies to limited quantities of specific materials (Class 2 non-toxic aerosols, Class 3 PG II and III, Division 6.1 PG III, UN3077, UN3082, UN3175, UN3334, and UN3335) that have no subsidiary risk and are authorized on passenger aircraft. Outer packaging does not need to meet standard specification requirements, but completed packages must generally conform to general packaging requirements (§§ 173.24 and 173.24a).
* Quantity Limits per Inner/Outer Packaging:
* Non-toxic aerosols (non-refillable): Non-metal containers up to 120 mL (4 fluid ounces) each; metal containers up to 820 mL (28 fluid ounces) each, except flammable aerosols are capped at 500 mL (16.9 fluid ounces) each.
* Liquids: Up to 500 mL (16.9 fluid ounces) each, and they must not completely fill the inner packaging at 55 °C.
* Solids: Up to 500 g (1.0 pound) each.
* Total Gross Weight: Any combination cannot exceed 30 kg (66 pounds) per prepared shipment.
* Closures: Friction-type closures must be secured by positive means, designed to prevent incorrect/incomplete closure, and built to resist normal temperature and vibration conditions of transport.
* Absorbent Material: Inner packagings must be tightly packed in strong outer packagings with non-reactive absorbent/cushioning. For glass or earthenware inner packagings containing Class 3 or Division 6.1 liquids, enough absorbent must be included to absorb the entire contents of the largest inner packaging (unless the packaging is robust enough to prevent failure and leakage).
* Drop and Stack Test Capabilities:
* *Drop Test:* Breakable inner packagings must be protected. The final package must withstand a 1.2-meter drop onto solid concrete in the most vulnerable orientation without outer packaging damage affecting safety and without inner packaging leakage.
* *Stack Test:* The package must withstand a top-surface load equivalent to a 3.0-meter stack height of identical packages for 24 hours without failure, leakage, or significant loss of effectiveness.
* Hazard Communication: Packages must be marked as a limited quantity and labeled as a Class 9 article/substance.
* *Exceptions:* When transporting by highway, rail, and vessel, you are excepted from the Class 9 labeling requirement. When transporting by highway and rail, you are also excepted from shipping paper requirements.
* Pressure Differential: Except for UN3082, inner packagings holding liquids must withstand a pressure differential of 75 kPa.
