1. Scope
1.1 This practice establishes requirements for packaging, packing, and marking intended to ensure proper and safe storage and transportation of copper and copper alloy mill products, both foreign and domestic, for direct shipment to government activities or shipment processed at a military activity or agency. This practice details the materials, methods, containers, and procedures for the preparation for shipment of copper and copper alloy mill products. Mill products wherein copper is the basic metal are within the scope of this practice. Commercial packaging establishes the minimum requirements that apply unless Level A or B packing is specified (see 6.1).
1.2 Units—The values stated in inch-pound units are regarded as standard. The SI values given in parentheses are mathematical conversions to SI units that are provided for information only and are not considered standard.
