• dangerous goods training as outlined in 1.5.1 is strongly recommended for shippers of Category B infectious substances;

• the proper shipping name, the UN number, and the name, address and telephone number of a responsible person must be indicated on the package;

• the operator must put in place dangerous goods training as outlined in Table 1.5.A for the personnel in charge of the transport by air and the handling of Category B infectious substances, UN 3373;

• the operator must establish procedures so that:

— the incidents related to Category B infectious substances, UN 3373, are reported to the Competent Authority and handled as Category A infectious substances incidents;

— the emergency measures to be taken for Category B infectious substances, UN 3373, are expedited as those of Category A infectious substances.

The maximum quantity permitted in any glass inner packaging is 30 g, and the maximum quantity permitted in any metal inner packaging is 200 g. After filling, each inner packaging must be determined to be leak-tight by placing the inner packaging in a hot water bath at a temperature, and for a period of time, sufficient to ensure that an internal pressure equal to the vapour pressure of ethylene oxide at 55°C is achieved. The total quantity in any one outer packaging must not exceed 2.5 kg. When cylinders are used, they must be of the seamless or welded steel types that are equipped with suitable relief devices. Each cylinder must be tested for leakage with an inert gas before each refilling and must be insulated with three coats of heat retardant paint or in an equally efficient manner. The maximum net quantity per cylinder must not exceed 25 kg.
