What packaging and labeling are required for UN3481 P.I.966 under Section I?

• A. UN specification packaging (PGII) and Lithium Battery Class 9 Hazard label
• B. Standard consumer packaging and No label
• C. Recycled packaging and Class 2 label
• D. Open-air packaging and Environmental label

Answer: (A)

Packaging and labeling for UN 3481 Packing Instruction 966 under Section I require UN specification packaging (packing group II) and the Lithium Battery Class 9 Hazard label. UN specification packaging means the container has been tested to UN standards and is designed to keep the battery contained and prevent leaks or damage during normal transport. Packing group II indicates the level of performance expected from the packaging for such dangerous goods. The Class 9 lithium battery hazard label communicates the presence of a lithium battery risk to handlers and emergency responders. Standard consumer packaging, missing labels, incorrect hazard class labels, or open-air packaging do not meet these safety and regulatory requirements, making them unsuitable.
