• (a) a label is not required to be displayed on a small means of containment that is inside another small means of containment if the other small means of containment has a label displayed on it and is not opened during loading or unloading or while the dangerous goods are in transport;

• (b) the oxidizing gas label, illustrated in the appendix to this Part, must be displayed on a small means of containment for the following dangerous goods:

  • (i) UN1072, OXYGEN, COMPRESSED,

  • (ii) UN1073, OXYGEN, REFRIGERATED LIQUID,

  • (iii) UN3156, COMPRESSED GAS, OXIDIZING, N.O.S., and

  • (iv) UN3157, LIQUEFIED GAS, OXIDIZING, N.O.S.;

• (b.1) the Class 9, lithium battery label, illustrated in the appendix to this Part, must be displayed on a small means of containment for the following dangerous goods:

  • (i) UN3090, LITHIUM METAL BATTERIES,

  • (ii) UN3091, LITHIUM METAL BATTERIES CONTAINED IN EQUIPMENT or LITHIUM METAL BATTERIES PACKED WITH EQUIPMENT,

  • (iii) UN3480, LITHIUM ION BATTERIES, and

  • (iv) UN3481, LITHIUM ION BATTERIES CONTAINED IN EQUIPMENT or LITHIUM ION BATTERIES PACKED WITH EQUIPMENT;

• (c) if the dangerous goods are included in Class 7, Radioactive Materials, two labels must be displayed on the small means of containment for the primary class; and

• (d) when the dangerous goods are included in Class 2, Gases, and are contained in a combination of cylinders each with a capacity greater than 225 L that are a single unit as a result of being interconnected through a piping arrangement, and are permanently mounted on a structural frame for transport, and have a combined capacity exceeding 450 L, the combination of cylinders may be placarded as one large means of containment.

(2) For the subsidiary class of Class 1, the label to be displayed is the label for Class 1.1, 1.2 or 1.3 illustrated in the appendix to this Part.

(3) When a label is required to be displayed, it must be displayed

• (b) on or near the shoulder of a cylinder containing dangerous goods; or

• (c) in the case of a label for dangerous goods included in Class 7, Radioactive Materials, on two opposite sides of the outer surface of a small means of containment, other than the side on which it is intended to rest or to be stacked during transport.

(4) Despite subsection (3), a label with sides that are reduced to 30 mm in length in accordance with subsection 4.7(2) may be displayed on a tag that is securely attached to a small means of containment.

(5) Despite subsection (1), a label is not required to be displayed on a small means of containment that contains a radioactive material if the shipping name and UN number of the radioactive material are displayed on the small means of containment and

• (a) the radioactive material is contained in an exposure device, as defined in the Nuclear Substances and Radiation Devices Regulations, and the small means of containment is marked in accordance with paragraph 16(5)(a) of the Packaging and Transport of Nuclear Substances Regulations; or

• (b) the radioactive material is LSA-I material, as defined in subsection 1(1) of the Packaging and Transport of Nuclear Substances Regulations, and the small means of containment is marked in accordance with paragraph 16(5)(c) of the Packaging and Transport of Nuclear Substances Regulations.
