Which labels are required for UN3480 P.I.965 Lithium Ion Batteries under Section IB?

• A. Lithium Battery Class 9 Hazard label only
• B. Completed Lithium Battery Mark only
• C. CAO label only
• D. Lithium Battery Class 9 Hazard label, Completed Lithium Battery Mark, and CAO label

Answer: (D)

When shipping UN3480 lithium ion batteries under the PI 965 framework in Section IB, three marks are required on the outside of the package. First, the Lithium Battery Class 9 Hazard label signals that the contents are a hazardous material and helps ensure safe handling and emergency response. Second, the Completed Lithium Battery Mark confirms the battery has been prepared in accordance with the packaging instructions and is ready for transport. Third, the CAO label (Cargo Aircraft Only) warns that the shipment must be transported only on cargo aircraft, not passenger aircraft, due to the associated risk and handling restrictions. Taken together, these three markings satisfy the labeling requirements for this specific section and packaging instruction, which is why all three are required.
