Scope:

This standard contains requirements for the design, manufacturing and marking for three types of means of containment used for the transportation of Class 6.2 dangerous goods (infectious substances), diagnostic specimens, biological products and biomedical waste. Note: This standard was last fully updated in 2003, however for the purposes of this new edition, the Regulator, Transport Canada, has determined that the previous edition published in 1999, is the appropriate version for this update.
