Question:

Hello,

Good afternoon! My name is Jane Doe, I’m from Company’s Regulatory Affairs department and I have been researching hazmat shipping regulations. I understand that orientation arrows are required on two opposite, vertical sides of the package if the package contains liquid hazardous materials. However, I’m wondering if any such requirements apply to pressurized gas hazardous materials? Are orientation arrows required in that case as well, or does the regulation just apply to liquids?

Thank you so much for your help!

Answer:

Thank you for contacting me. Please see below.

• No.
• Orientation arrows are not required on a non-bulk packaging with inner packagings that are cylinders containing a compressed gas.
• This article on my blog explains it further: Package Orientation Arrows on HazMat Packaging.

I hope this helps. Please contact me with any other questions.
