This marking is recognized as a mark of a U.N. Certified
Container.
According to the U.S. Department of
Transportation Title 49CFR, Section 178.2, it requires that
manufacturers of U.N. approved packages notify their
customers regarding all requirements that the package must
go through to make certain it meets U.N. approval.
Specifically, the following items maintain
this notification:
1. Life Latch (R)
containers are certified for U.N. package performance
oriented packaging and is marked with the appropriate U.N.
markings on the bottom of the container.
2. The Life Latch (R)
pail must always be used with the Life
Latch (R) lid to meet U.N. approval.
3. Closing Instructions
A. For Original Style non-gasketed cover:
