“ORM” hazard classes no longer exist. The exception is<br />
the ORM-D hazard class. Consumer commodities will be<br />
transported as an ORM-D. Materials packaged and distributed<br />
in a form intended for retail sale or for consumption<br />
by individuals for the purpose <strong>of</strong> personal care/household<br />
use are consumer commodities. Note that consumer commodities<br />
are not exempt from the hazardous material<br />
regulations. Instead, handle the consumer commodity as a<br />
specific hazardous material. Packaging requirements,<br />
marking requirements, and labeling requirements will be<br />
subject to US DOT regulation. Molten sulfur is an example<br />
<strong>of</strong> an ORM-D material.<br />
