How is a "set" defined in the battery requirements for UN3481 P.I.966?

• A. The number of individual cells or batteries required to power each piece of equipment
• B. The total number of batteries in the shipment
• C. The number of spare sets
• D. The number of devices in the package

Answer: (A)

In UN3481 P.I.966, a set means the number of individual cells or batteries required to power a single piece of equipment. This per-device count is what the rules use to determine packaging and quantity limits, not the total number of batteries in the shipment, nor the number of spare sets, nor the total number of devices. For example, if one device needs two batteries to operate, that device has a set of two. If you ship three identical devices, you’re dealing with three sets (one set per device). Spare batteries are counted separately under their own rules, and the number of devices doesn’t change the per-device set size. So the set is defined by how many batteries are needed to run each piece of equipment, not by how many batteries or devices are in the entire shipment.
