ORM-D labels are being phased out by DOT in order to harmonize U.S. shipping rules with United Nations standards.

Can you tell me the source of your information on the change? I can't find it with my searches.

Thanks.

The first I heard about it was from this thread that hoffmang started last year...

So I made a mental note that I'd soon have to update this thread with the newly designed labels. Then I just kept checking the Code of Federal Regulations periodically to see when the new marking requirements would go into effect...

It looks like the changes to §172.315 and §173.63 happened on January 19th of this year, but I didn't notice them until a couple of weeks ago.

Thank you.

I had looked at 173, but missed 172 for whatever reason.
