Content (Dummy Load) Test Temperature 73 F Drop Test Method: The inner packagings were filled to 98% overflow capacity with dummy load. The packages were assembled as per closing instruction (Reference Section 7). Five (5) assembled packages were subjected to a free fall drop test from a height of 1.2 meters onto a solid steel plated concrete floor as described below. Drops were conducted within 60 seconds of removal of the outer packagings from the conditioning chamber. Drop Test Results Test Sample # Weight (kg) # Orientation Top (mfr's) corner (Corner 1-2-5) # Top surface (Face 1) # Long side (Face 2) # Short side (Face 6) # Bottom surface (Face 3) Results Box outside impact corner was slightly crushed around, approximately 1-1/2" in diameter, however box was still intact and capable and safe for further handling. There was no leakage of the filling substance There was no visible damage to the outer packaging, there was no leakage of the filling substance There was no visible damage to the outer packaging, there was no leakage of the filling substance There was no visible damage to the outer packaging, there was no leakage of the filling substance There was no visible damage to the outer packaging, there was no leakage of the filling substance

7 Page 7 of 22 Pass/Fail Criteria - A package is considered to successfully pass the drop tests if for each sample tested: For packaging containing liquid, there is no leakage of the filling substance from the inner packaging. There is no damage to the outer packaging likely to adversely affect safety during transport. Inner receptacles, inner packagings or articles must remain completely within the outer packaging. Any discharge from a closure is slight and ceases immediately after impact or pressure equalization with no further leakage. No rupture is permitted in packagings for materials in Class 1 which would permit spillage of loose explosive substances or articles from the outer packaging.

Test Temperature 73 F & 50 % R.H. Test Method Free standing, static (dead weight) test Test Duration 24 hours Minimum calculated stacking test weight 49.6 kg (109.1 lbs) per package Actual stacking test weight 49.9 kg (110 lbs) per package Test Duration 24 hours Stacking Test Method: The inner packagings were filled to 98% overflow capacity with dummy load. The packages were assembled as per closing instruction (Reference Section 7). Stacking test load (dead weight) of 49.9 kg was applied individually to the top of the three (3) assembled packages using wood load spreaders and the weight was maintained for 24 hours. Stacking Test Results Test Sample # Test Sample Weight (kg) Test Load (Kg) Duration Stacking Test Results # Hours # Hours # Hours Boxes did not show any signs of deterioration or distortion, there was no leakage of the filling substance Pass/Fail Criteria - A package is considered to successfully pass the stack tests if for each sample tested: No test sample shows any deterioration or distortion that could adversely affect safety during transport causing instability in stacks of packages, or cause damage to inner packagings that is likely to reduce safety in transport. There no leakage of the filling substance from the inner receptacle, or inner packaging

Ambient ASTM D Rotary Motion Vibration 60 minutes 235 CPM Vibration Test Method: The inner packagings were filled to 98% overflow capacity with dummy load. The packages were re-assembled as per closing instruction (Reference Section 7). Three (3) assembled packages were simultaneously placed on a rotary vibration table platform having 25.4 mm peak-topeak displacement and vibrated in normal shipping orientation for one (1) hour at 235 CPM such that a 1.6 mm thickness could be passed between the bottom of the samples and the platform. Immediately thereafter, the packages were removed from the platform and turned on its side for examination. Vibration Test Results Test Sample # Test Sample Weight (kg) Frequency (CPM) Duration (Minutes) Vibration Test Results # # # There was no rupture or deterioration of boxes, there was no leakage of the filling substance Pass/Fail Criteria - A package is considered to successfully pass the vibration test, if for each sample tested after it was immediately removed from table platform and turned on its side: There is no leakage or rupture from any of the packaging. No test sample shows any deterioration which could adversely affect safety or container strength, during transport liable to reduce packaging strength.

Test Method ISO 535, Cobb Method Cobb Test Results Sample # #1 #2 #3 #4 #5 Average Results grams/m² Pass Pass/Fail Criteria An increase in mass of greater than 155 grams/m² over the 30 minute duration of the tests represents an unacceptable level of water absorption. SECTION 4 - Shippers Responsibility It is the responsibility of the end shipper to determine authorization for use under these regulations. It is the shippers responsibility to determine if the packaging is compatible for products to be shipped. Use of the marking of this certification for any variations without further testing as allowed under US DOT 49 CFR Section will be at complete responsibility of the shipper. By continuing to place the UN Markings on Packagings, the packaging manufacturer or shipper is certifying that each packaging is constructed in the same manner as the originally tested and certified packaging, and that each packaging is capable of withstanding the prescribed performance tests. According to 49 CFR Section (1) Variation 1 - variations are permitted in inner packaging of a tested combination packaging without further testing of the package, provided an equivalent level of performance is maintained as described in (1) Variation 4 (i),(a),(b),(c),(d),(e) and (F) and (ii). According to US DOT 49 CFR Section (e), the packaging manufacturer shall achieve successful test results for the periodic retesting at intervals established by the manufacturer of sufficient frequency to ensure that each packaging produced by manufacturer is capable of passing the design qualification test. Changes in retest frequency are subject to the approval of the Associate Administrator for Hazardous Materials Safety. For combination packaging, the periodic retest must be conducted at least once every 24 months.
