IATA defines "Conditions Normal to Air transport"  as -40 C and 55 C which somehow they convert to -40F and 130 F

Your packagings in your warehouse should be designed to withstand these extremes if they are ever on an airplane. 

I suspect DOT has similar specifications but I am not sure what they are.

Subject: Chemical Storage Conditions

Most of us who have read an MSDS have seen the storage conditions listed as: Store in a cool, dry place." Does anyone have a further definition of cool and dry that they use in practice? I am struggling with storage issues in open air warehouse locations throughout the US. Dallas came up this morning.
