Portable refillable tanks used to ship recovered refrigerants must meet which standard?

When shipping recovered refrigerants, the safety rules focus on how the container is packaged, labeled, and handled during transport because this is a hazardous materials operation. That regulatory authority lies with the Department of Transportation, which governs the packaging and transport of hazardous materials to prevent leaks, ruptures, and exposures en route. OSHA deals with workplace safety practices, not transport packaging standards. EPA handles environmental controls related to refrigerants but not the shipping container standards. ASTM provides voluntary standards, not the regulatory requirement for transporting these materials. So, portable refillable tanks used to ship recovered refrigerants must meet DOT standards.
