1、Designation: B900 04 (Reapproved 2010)Standard Practice forPackaging of Copper and Copper Alloy Mill Products forU.S. Government Agencies1This standard is issued under the fixed designation B900; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case

2、of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope*1.1 This practice establishes requirements for packaging,packing, and marking intended to ensure

3、 proper and safestorage and transportation of copper and copper alloy millproducts, both foreign and domestic, for direct shipment togovernment activities or shipment processed at a militaryactivity or agency. This practice details the materials, methods,containers, and procedures for the preparatio

4、n for shipment ofcopper and copper alloy mill products. Mill products whereincopper is the basic metal are within the scope of this practice.Commercial packaging establishes the minimum requirementsthat apply unless Level A or B packing is specified (see 6.1).1.2 UnitsThe values stated in inch-pound

5、 units are re-garded as standard. The SI values given in parentheses aremathematical conversions to SI units that are provided forinformation only and are not considered standard.1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is therespon

6、sibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.
