For more information on this topic, please reference page 5 of the Appendix to Chemical Facility Anti-Terrorism Standards; Final Rule http://www.dhs.gov/xlibrary/assets/chemsec_appendixafinalrule.pdf (PDF, 41 pages – 4.25 MB). Referenced Text: DHS has adopted the Department of Transportation (DOT) definition of packaging, which refers to “a receptacle and any other components or materials necessary for the receptacle to perform its containment function in conformance with the minimum packing requirements of [DOT’s Hazardous Materials Regulations].” See 49 CFR § 171.8. This includes, but is not limited to, tank cars, cylinders, bulk bags, bottles inside or outside of a box, cargo tanks, and tank cars.
