The transport and use of dry ice are regulated under the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) to ensure safety. Specifically, dry ice falls under Title 49 of the CFR, which covers transportation regulations for hazardous materials. These regulations dictate the proper labeling, packaging, and documentation for dry ice shipping.
Additionally, laboratories must comply with Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) standards that govern the handling and storing of hazardous materials, including dry ice. Compliance with these regulations is critical to avoid legal penalties and ensure personnel safety and the environment.
