(Question on UN specification Packaging Marking.)
Q.
Can a UN packaging bear a UN Specification Packaging Mark printed on a Label and pasted on the packaging? (30 Nov 19)
A.
In the Notes accompanying DGR 6.0.4.1 it says: “Handwritten specification marks are not acceptable. Marks which are not printed or embossed directly on to packaging may be open to additional airline scrutiny so as to ensure the validity of the marks. In such cases and to prevent shipment delays, shippers are encouraged to provide contact details with the shipment so that the validity of the mark can be confirmed.” Specification mark printed on a label can be affxed to any package and are not acceptable.
