Closure and marks

  • Outside is clean of product; no leaks or weeping at closures.
  • Proper shipping name, UN number and hazard labels are on the right sides.

Load

  • Stacking stays within the tested stacking load.
  • Units are braced or strapped so they cannot shift.
  • Shipping papers match what is on the vehicle.
