Note
  • For deep frozen product, use ‘t’ type container only. Dry ice must be loaded in both the dry ice bunker (20%) and cargo area (80%) to maintain -20°C. Re-icing the bunker only will not maintain -20°C
  • Since ‘t’ type container does not heat, the container is to be stored in an environment where temperature is at least 10°C to avoid overcool. Avoid exposure to extreme heat or direct sunlight since under such situation dry ice consumption is accelerated. Exposure to temperature 30°C above the set temperature should be limited to 2 hours.
  • One of the following process controls is required to use the ‘t’ type container for Controlled Room Temperature products:

    a. The product is packaged in an insulated overpack before loading in the container.

    b. Aircraft temperature is above 20°C with dry ice in the container bunker.

    c. B744P not applicable.

  • ‘t’ type container require cargo hold ventilation and temperature control during flight.
