the following specific requirements apply:
Substances consigned at ambient or higher temperatures: Primary receptacles must be of glass, metal or plastic. Positive
means of ensuring a leak-proof seal must be provided, such as heat seal, skirted stopper or metal crimp seal. If screw
c,apsare used,these must be secured by positive means,e.g. tape, paraffin sealing tapeor manufactured locking closure.
Substances consigned refrigerated or frozen (wet ice, prefrozen packs, Carbon dioxide, solid [dry ice]): Ice, Carbon
dioxide, solid (dry ice) or other refrigerant must be placed around the secondary packaging(s) or alternatively in an
overpack with one or more complete packages marked in accordance with 6.5.3.1. Interior support must be provided to
secure the secondary packaging(s) or packages in the original position after the ice or Carbon dioxide, solid (dry ice) has
dissipated. If ice is used, the outer packaging or overpack must be leak-proof. If Carbon dioxide, solid (dry ice) is used,
the outer packaging or overpack must permit the release of carbon dioxide gas. The primary receptacle and the
secondary packaging must maintain their integrity at the temperature of the refrigerantused.
Substances consigned in liquid nitrogen: Plastic primary receptacles capable of withstanding very low temperatures must
be used. The secondary packaging must be capable of withstanding very low temperatures and in most cases will need to
be fitted over the primary receptacle individually. Provisions for the consignment of liquid nitrogen must also be fulfilled.
The primary receptacl.e and the secondary packaging must maintain their integrity at the temperature of the refrigerant
used.
Lyophilized substances: Primary receptacles must be either flame-sealed glass ampoules or rubber-stoppered glass vials
