Can you shed some light on my question or direct me to the department that can?
Thank you
Mary Ellen
Hello,
I am contacting you to clarify information on shipping hazardous materials for science fairs.
I have attached an ACS publication and would like to use this process. I agree with the interpretation that these chemicals are part of research or education, which is our business.
I teach shipping and have asked our official training organization about using this application. The feedback was that chemicals for educational purposes would not fall under 173.6 MOT because they are not materials that support a business's operation.
' MOT is used for companies that, during the course of their business, have hazardous material in their vehicle as a principal product that supports the function of their business. Examples include painters, roofers,
and lawn care companies.'
Has there been any update to the ACS recommendations for chemicals used in demonstrations or educational activities? This area seems to be open to interpretation.
Thank you for your time and help.
