<div class="moz-cite-prefix">.... just to add:<br>
<br>
A189 <u>does not</u> include any marking requirements,
consignments <u>need not to be marked</u> as required for parcels
containing ethanol specimens.<br>
However, <b>your shipping docs should detail the concentration</b>
including the phrase <b>"A189, not restricted" </b><b><br>
</b><br>
The wording "not restricted" proofs that:<br>
<br>
1) you know the regulation<br>
2) you did check the content offered for transportation and<br>
3) the material complies with the IATA regulations<br>
<br>
Thanks for your help with this, Andy!<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi all<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">It was recently brought to my attention by
Dirk Neumann that the entry for formaldehyde in the dangerous
goods table of the latest IATA manual (version 54) has been
amended to exclude the phrase “Formaldehyde solution with
>10% but <25% formaldehyde” as in the below screenshot
from the old manual:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><img id="Picture_x0020_1"
src="cid:part1.05060301.04040206@zsm.mwn.de"
alt="cid:image001.png@01CE5B89.F8A0AD90" height="253"
width="657"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This obviously affects our ability to ship
dilute formalin solutions with specimens – what we call 10%
which is actually 3.7%.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I emailed my contact at IATA and he
informed me that it was removed after some discussion at the
last Dangerous Goods meeting but in its place a special
provision SP A 189 was added which states:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">-----------------------------------------<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN-GB">A189 </span></b><span
lang="EN-GB">Except where the defining criteria of another
class or division are met, concentrations of formaldehyde
solution:
</span><span lang="EN-GB"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB"> </span><span
lang="EN-GB"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">(a) with 10% or more,
but less than 25% formaldehyde must be classified as UN 3334
Aviation regulated liquid, n.o.s.; and
</span><span lang="EN-GB"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB"> </span><span
lang="EN-GB"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">(b) with less than 10%
formaldehyde are not subject to these Regulations.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">----------------------------------------------<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">So, it appears as if status quo has been
maintained, just in another way. Solutions of 3.7% formalin
are still exempt from the dangerous goods regulations and can
be transported internationally by courier as before. By
definition, as it is outside the scope of the dangerous goods
regulations and is not classified as an aviation regulated
liquid, it can also be carried onto a plane as checked and
carry on (subject to TSA regulations) baggage.<o:p></o:p></p>
