flammable solids (Division 4.1) in Packing Groups II and III and, where
authorized by this section, charcoal briquettes (Division 4.2) in
Packing Group III, are excepted from labeling requirements unless the
material is offered for transportation or transported by aircraft, and
are excepted from the specification packaging requirements of this
subchapter when packaged in combination packagings according to this
paragraph. If authorized for transportation by aircraft, the package
must also conform to applicable requirements of Sec.  173.27 of this
part (e.g., authorized materials, inner packaging quantity limits and
closure securement) and only hazardous

material authorized aboard passenger-carrying aircraft may be
transported as a limited quantity. A limited quantity package that
conforms to the provisions of this section is not subject to the
shipping paper requirements of subpart C of part 172 of this
subchapter, unless the material meets the definition of a hazardous
substance, hazardous waste, marine pollutant, or is offered for
transportation and transported by aircraft or vessel, and is eligible
for the exceptions provided in Sec.  173.156 of this part. In addition,
shipments of limited quantities are not subject to subpart F
(Placarding) of part 172 of this subchapter. Each package must conform
to the packaging requirements of subpart B of this part and may not
exceed 30 kg (66 pounds) gross weight. Except for transportation by
aircraft, the following combination packagings are authorized:
    (i) For flammable solids in Packing Group II, inner packagings not
over 1.0 kg (2.2 pounds) net capacity each, packed in a strong outer
packaging.

containing an igniter, a booster material, a gas generant and, in some
cases, a pressure receptacle (cylinder)) is a gas generator used to
inflate an air bag in a supplemental restraint system in a motor
vehicle. An air bag module is the air bag inflator plus an inflatable
bag assembly. A seat-belt pretensioner contains similar hazardous
materials and is used in the operation of a seat-belt restraining
system in a motor vehicle.
    (b) Classification. (1) Safety devices, excluding those which
contain flammable or toxic gases or mixtures thereof, may be classed as
Class 9 (UN3268) if the safety device, or if more than a single safety
device is involved then the representative of the maximum parameters of
each design type, is examined and successfully tested by a person or
agency who is authorized by the Associate Administrator to perform
examination and testing of explosives under Sec.  173.56(b)(1), and
who:
    (i) Does not manufacture or market explosives or safety devices, is
not owned in whole or in part, or is not financially dependent upon any
entity that manufactures or markets explosives or safety devices;
    (ii) Performs all examination and testing in accordance with the
applicable requirements as specified in special provision 160 (see
Sec.  172.102 of this subchapter); and
    (iii) Maintains records in accordance with paragraph (g) of this
section.
    (iv) By adhering to all the provisions specified in paragraph
(b)(1) of this section, a Class 9 (UN3268) air bag inflator, air bag
module or seat-belt pretensioner design is not required to be submitted
to the Associate Administrator for approval or assigned an EX number.
All other Class 9 (UN3268) safety device designs are required to be
submitted to the Associate Administrator for approval and assigned an
EX number;
    (2) A safety device may be classed as Division 1.4G if the maximum
parameters of each design type have been examined and successfully
tested by a person or agency who is authorized by the Associate
Administrator to perform such examination and testing of explosives
under Sec.  173.56(b)(1). As a Class 1 explosive, the manufacturer must
submit to the Associate Administrator a report of the examination and
assignment of a recommended shipping description, division, and
compatibility group, and if the Associate Administrator finds the
approval request meets the regulatory criteria, the explosive may be
approved in writing and assigned an EX number; or
    (3) The manufacturer has submitted an application, including a
classification issued by the competent authority of a foreign
government to the Associate Administrator, and received written
notification from the Associate Administrator that the device has been
approved for transportation and assigned an EX number.
    (c) EX numbers. (1) When a safety device is classed and approved as
a Division 1.4G and offered for transportation, the shipping paper must
contain the EX number or product code for each approved device in
association with the basic description required by Sec.  172.202(a) of
this subchapter. Product codes must be traceable to the specific EX
number assigned to the device by the Associate Administrator. Further,
if the EX number or product code is contained on the shipping paper
then it is not required to be marked on the outside package.
