What other label is required for a UN3090 P.1. 965 Lithium Metal battery per section 1A?

• A. Cargo Aircraft Only (CAO) label
• B. Fragile label
• C. Do Not Load label
• D. Recyclable label

Answer: (A)

The main idea is that certain air shipments of lithium metal batteries carry a requirement to mark the package with a label that says the cargo aircraft only can be used. For UN3090 lithium metal batteries handled under this packaging instruction, the outer packaging must include the Cargo Aircraft Only label when the configuration of the shipment falls under the conditions that restrict transport to cargo aircraft. This label warns everyone along the handling chain that the package cannot be loaded onto a passenger plane due to the significant fire risk associated with lithium metal batteries and the limited firefighting options in passenger-jet scenarios.

So, the correct label isn’t about fragility, loading prohibitions, or recyclability. It’s specifically the Cargo Aircraft Only mark, which communicates the required transport restriction.
