According to Section 1A, P.1. 965 for Lithium Metal Batteries, which conditions must be met for acceptance at dangerous goods locations?

• A. UN3090 is not prohibited at the location AND cells greater than 1 g and batteries with an aggregate lithium content in excess of 2 g
• B. UN3090 must be prohibited at the location
• C. The batteries must be shipped only by air cargo
• D. The packing instruction must be 969 or higher

Answer: (A)

Acceptance at dangerous goods locations hinges on two things: the location must not prohibit UN 3090, and the lithium content of the cells/battery must meet specific thresholds. If the site allows UN 3090, you may move forward, but only if each cell contains more than 1 gram of lithium and the total lithium content of the battery pack is greater than 2 grams. Both conditions have to be met for acceptance under these rules. This reflects safety controls tied to how much lithium is present and who is authorized to handle such batteries at that location. The other options don’t capture this combination of location permission and lithium-content thresholds, which is why this choice is correct.
