Where should the itemized list of contents be placed in dangerous goods packaging?

The itemized list of contents should be placed between the secondary and outer packaging for a few important reasons. This placement ensures that the information regarding the hazardous materials is easily accessible while maintaining safety during transportation. By positioning the list in this manner, it provides clear visibility for handlers and emergency responders without compromising the integrity of the inner packaging, which contains the dangerous goods.

This is particularly crucial in scenarios where the outer packaging may need to be handled, opened, or inspected. Having the list between the secondary and outer packaging allows for quick reference without the need to disturb the contents or open any inner packaging that could expose the dangerous goods.

In contrast, placing the list between the inner and outer packaging, or inside the inner packaging, would hinder its visibility and accessibility during an emergency situation, potentially leading to delays in response or mismanagement of the contents. Keeping the itemized list on the outer packaging can also be effective; however, it may not provide the same level of protection and can risk becoming damaged or lost during transit, which is why the specified location between the secondary and outer packaging is recommended.
