Packing of Collected COVID-19 Specimen
These instructions are generally referred to as packing of P650 for Category B infectious substances assigned to UN 3373.
- For surface transport, the secondary or outer packaging must be rigid.
- If the outer packaging is soft, the secondary packaging must be rigid, or if the secondary packaging is soft, the outer packaging must be rigid.
- The latter is the most commonly applied arrangement, because a rigid outer packaging is always required for air transport.
