| Summary of Issue | Looking for an interpretation – this package was shipped to us in the shown configuration. The turnbuckles are holding the flask/package in the shipping skid and the skid itself is secured to the trailer. The Crosby branded turnbuckles don’t have a WLL stamped on them because they are typically found in industrial rigging rather than roadside, but have “generic” WLL’s assigned to them based on their size (which is stamped) |
| Justification or Need | Interpretation of tie-down assembly definition -- would the turnbuckles be considered the tiedown by a roadside inspector or is it viewed as a mechanical assembly that is part of the load? |
| Request for Action | Review of the package configuration as shown and provide guidance on the applicability of NSC 10/US federal regulations. |
