I was working for UPS air operations at that time and luckily
the Philadelphia crew managed to land safely and to escape.<br>
Those colleagues on their way to Cologne/Bonn (Germany) were
less lucky: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__en.wikipedia.org_wiki_UPS-5FAirlines-5FFlight-5F6&d=DwMD-g&c=cjytLXgP8ixuoHflwc-poQ&r=LpYc_Z_iN1KRw0hheb3x6-8MJUMu482qfHowpGYJqwc&m=ZAC922-mliAhZOH7IzzlcFmySxIz3uNnOnknobIUmA4&s=eaugBWrYdRdqPTqZX2SEOXDEIs01cA3td15nyisLf9g&e=" moz-do-not-send="true">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UPS_Airlines_Flight_6</a><br>
<br>
Be sure that the shipper of the parcel causing the fire was
traced.<br>
<br>
The ICAO/IATA exemptions will be revoked, if repeated
non-compliance is observed an recorded, regardless how compliant
the majority is.<br>
<br>
It should be in our vital interest to inform our colleagues to
meet the regulations. There is good reasons, why they are in
place. The IATA A180 exemption is not complicated at all, and I
bet all institutions are able to afford at least a household bag
sealer. <br>
<br>
Please spread the word and try to reach those, <i>who have been
doing it like that </i>[using zip-lock bags etc.] <i>for
ages.</i> We shouldn't loose ICAO/IATA alleviations because of
uninformed few.<br>
<br>
Once revoked, it will be very unlikely to get exempted again,
which will dramatically increase costs for institutions for
dangerous goods shipping and IATA certifications and yearly
requalification of staff. All those who once went through a IATA
certification process know what this means.<br>
<br>
All the best<br>

However, it does not get at those people who still insist
on doing things their own way – no matter how illegal or

sends material incorrectly to try and improve or correct

Below is the brief summary on one page on how to ship
alcohol specimens IATA conform (A180) from our shipping
workshop; please fell free to share it.<br>
<br>

********<br>
Printer friendly summary Special Provision A180<br>
<br>
Museum specimens such as mammals, birds, amphibians,
reptiles, fish,<br>
insects and other invertebrates, containing small
quantities of UN1170,<br>
UN1987 or UN1219, are not part of this regulations if
following packing and<br>
marking requirements are met: <br>
<br>
- specimens wrapped in alcohol soaked fabric or
cheesecloth are heat sealed in plastic bags, each<br>
welding contains not more then 30 ml of free liquid
(max. net drained volume), or<br>
- loose voucher specimens or tissues packed in rigid
containers (e.g. plastic tubes or vials); tubes must<br>
not contain more than 30ml free liquid (total
volume).<br>
- Specimen wrappings or containers are packed and heat
sealed in plastic bags (1st sealing)<br>
- Sealed samples are packed with sufficient absorbent in
plastic bags and sealed again (2nd sealing)<br>
***please refrain from using vermiculite as absorbent
material***<br>
- Sealed samples are packed with sufficient cushioning
material in stable packaging (drop test 1.2 m / 4 ft)<br>
- Complete consignment is marked legible and durable with
“scientific research specimens,<br>
not restricted, special provision A180 applies” on
same side that carries address information<br>
- Same wording is displayed in the “Description of Goods”
field if an (air) waybill is issued<br>

would wholeheartedly endorse this but also go a step
further in mentioning that the IATA regulations that
govern the shipping of excepted quantities of flammable
liquids through IATA Special Provision A180 expressly
require heat sealing of both inner and outer bags (or
other positive closure such as screw top vial) as part
of their packing instructions along with maximum
quantities of ethanol in both inner and outer packages.
As such Zip-Lock bags of any sort of tying closed bags
with string or rubber bands is forbidden and should not
be used.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

regulations that govern domestic shipping require that
each inner and outer packaging be securely closed with

fit that decription.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

have been informed by my contacts at DOT and IATA that
if packages sent by the museum community using these
regulations are found to be in defiance of the
regulation we run the risk of having these exceptions
rescinded and we will be back to square one of being
unable to ship materials through the mail. I do not want
all of our years of hard work to be for naught.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p><span
style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">This
morning, once again, I am unpacking a leaking box of
specimens, a loan return. I would like to make a
special appeal that fluid preserved specimens NOT be
shipped in zip-lock food storage bags---at all---but
if they are used, zip-lock bags should NOT be used as
an "outside bag"---i.e., the bag that must hold fluid
if the first bags leak. Not sure if they still do
this, but carriers like USPS, UPS or FedEx used claim
that they would discard packages if the package was
leaking fluid. </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p><span
style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p><span
style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">A
zip-lock can be used as a first bag, to hold specimens
wrapped in cheesecloth or toweling, but the <u>outer
bag</u> that holds the individual collections should
be a 4-mil plastic bag with a <u>sealed</u> top. A
sealed top can be accomplished using a heat sealer to
seal top (no folds or wrinkles) and testing that seal
by pressing on the bag and checking for air escape.
If a heat sealer is not available, the top can be
tightly twisted, folded over and tied off with string
(not rubber bands.) I have successfully used this
twist top seal on bags of specimens fixing in formalin
and transported out of the field. Attached is a pdf
demonstrating the seal. </span><o:p></o:p></p>
