§ 175.630
Special requirements for Di-
vision 6.1 (poisonous) material and
Division 6.2 (infectious substances)
materials.
(a) [Reserved]
(b) No person may operate an aircraft
that has been used to transport any
package required to bear a POISON or
POISON INHALATION HAZARD label
unless, upon removal of such package,
the area in the aircraft in which it was
carried is visually inspected for evi-
dence of leakage, spillage, or other
contamination. All contamination dis-
covered must be either isolated or re-
moved from the aircraft.
(c) When unloaded from the aircraft,
each package, overpack, pallet, or unit
load device containing a Division 6.2
material must be inspected for signs of
leakage. If evidence of leakage is
found, the cargo compartment in which
the package, overpack, or unit load de-
vice was transported must be dis-
infected. Disinfection may be by any
means that will make the material re-
leased ineffective at transmitting dis-
ease.
