The bags are made of Polyethylene and Polypropylene, the bags weigh 10 lbs. and the overall weight is 2500 lbs. It does not meet 5.6.3.4.1 (3) so I would say it is still a class III. Any thoughts?

Look at 5.6.3.4.1 (3) and try to determine if that standard is met to bump it from a Class III to Class IV. Probably not by volume, but perhaps by weight? I wouldn't think it would be over a IV.
