IATA Shipping Rules Updated in 2005
The Official IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations have been adopted. There are some significant changes that will affect persons shipping Diagnostic samples. These new regulations take effect January 1, 2005 .
Previously the following statement needed to be on boxes with Diagnostic Specimens:
Diagnostic Specimens
Packed in Compliance with IATA
Packing Instruction 650
The new requirements are as follows:
Diagnostic Specimens (or it may say "Clinical Specimens") must appear on the box. Adjacent to this name, the label found below must be placed on the package.
Please Note: All shipments with dry ice still require the Class nine labels as before. EH&S has ordered labels for you to use until box makers stamp their box with this label. If you have any questions, or to request these new labels, please call John Baxter at 546-6269
