About this file
This is an attachment from the Defense Transportation Regulation (DTR) Part IV that specifies publications and commercial standards applicable to personal property shipping and packaging operations.
The attachment establishes a mandatory compliance framework requiring contractors to follow eleven publications and standards related to shipping container fabrication, marking, cushioning materials, and phytosanitary regulations for wood packaging. Mandatory standards include ASTM-D4169-16 (performance testing of shipping containers), ASTM-D5118/D5118M-15 (fiberboard box fabrication), ASTM-D5168-12 (triple wall corrugated container fabrication), ASTM-D6039/D6039M-11 (wooden crates), ASTM-D6251M-11 (wood cleated panelboard boxes), Military Standard-129 (military marking for shipment and storage), DTR 4500.9-R (broader cargo movement and personal property regulations), and the International Standards for Phytosanitary Measures Publication No. 15 (wood packaging material guidelines). Three additional standards are designated as advisory: ASTM-D3953-15 (steel strapping and seals), PPP-C-1797A (polypropylene foam cushioning material), and SDDC Pamphlet 55-12 (commercial containers for household goods). All mandatory publications must be maintained at contractor facilities. Contractors have 30 days from receipt to implement any supplements or amendments to mandatory publications, with potential contract price adjustments available under the Changes clause. Contact information for obtaining copies is provided for both government publications (DLA Document Services) and commercial standards (American Society of Testing and Materials).
