• Standard Number: 1910.106(d)

Mr. John F. McCarren
General Counsel

Dear Mr. McCarren:

In your letter of March 9, 1972 commenting on the proposed rule-making for 29 CFR 1910.106(d)(2)(iii), you also asked for confirmation of the exemption applied to beverages.

29 CFR 1910.106(d)(1)(ii)(d) exempts beverages packaged in units of 1 gallon or less from the requirements of paragraph(d). Since 1910.106 applies only to flammable or combustible liquids, the exemption would apply to alcoholic beverages that meet either the test for flammable liquids (1910.106(a)(19)) or the test for combustible liquids (1910.106(a)(18)). Alcoholic beverages which are not flammable under these tests are not subject to 1910.106 at all.

Sincerely,

John P. O'Neill
Chief, Division of General
Industry Standards
Office of Standards Development
