Container Materials Clause Samples

Container Materials. Materials used in the construction of reusable containers shall be of good quality and sufficient to protect the contained item from the elements and other normal hazards to which it may be subjected during transportation. Standard parts (SAE, AN, MS, NAS, AGS, JAN, etc.) shall be used wherever possible. Containers should be constructed from one or more of the following materials, not including interior dunnage material: Metal Wood - export/import restrictions, such as 7 CFR section 319.40-3(b) concerning treatment and marking of regulated wood packaging material, may apply Plastic Fiberboard Fiberglass Cardboard Plywood Any Category I material Note: All materials must be of sufficient thickness, strength, quality and design to pass all other applicable requirements of this specification including container testing per [Appendix B]. Containers constructed of material combinations in a synthesis or lamination process (such as plywood permanently fastened or laminated to a plastic sheet) or containers constructed of materials which are not listed above, shall be categorized under the appropriate category consistent with the material's ability to meet all performance criteria listed in this specification and the container's ability to comply with the testing requirements outlined for the given category of container in [Appendix B]. Materials shall maintain performance characteristics and be capable of withstanding long term exposure to a temperature range of (-40° F to 130° F, or -40° C to 54° C). Materials shall withstand deterioration by industrial solvents, hydraulic fluid, petroleum products and jet fuel to which the container may normally be subjected. All metallic parts shall be corrosion-resistant or suitably protected against corrosion. For Category I containers, materials shall be treated or otherwise engineered for protection against deterioration caused by moisture, molding, rotting and ultra-violet radiation.
