Transport Canada Standard TP14850E “Small Containers for Transport of
Dangerous Goods, Classes 3, 4, 5, 6.1, 8 and 9, a Transport Canada Standard”,

of cylinders, spheres, tubes, and other containers for the transportation of
dangerous goods, Class 2”, March 2008, or CSA Standard B342-09, "Selection
