Where should the certificate of clearance be placed after inspecting empty munitions containers destined for reuse?

The certificate of clearance for inspected empty munitions containers should be placed inside the container to ensure that it is readily accessible and visible for any future inspections or audits. This practice provides clear documentation that the container has been inspected and deemed safe for reuse, thus maintaining accountability and traceability.

By placing the certificate inside the container, it allows anyone who handles the container during further transportation or storage to easily verify the inspection status without needing to open the container. This method facilitates compliance with safety regulations and standards, as it ensures that all pertinent documentation is kept together with the munitions container it pertains to.

Options such as placing the certificate on the exterior of the container or on the shipping manifest could lead to potential loss or damage to the document, making it less effective for ensuring ongoing compliance. Additionally, putting the certificate in a centralized documentation system would separate it from the container, which may hinder immediate access during inspections or pose challenges in confirming that specific containers have the required clearance.
