What must be labeled on the package for UN3480 P.I.965 Lithium Ion Batteries under Section IB?

• A. UN number and shipper/consignee names only
• B. UN number, proper shipping name, and shipper/consignee name and address
• C. Only the proper shipping name
• D. Dangerous goods label only

Answer: (B)

The main idea being tested is exactly what labeling information is required on a package containing UN3480 Lithium Ion Batteries when shipped under PI965 Section IB. The label must clearly identify the item with the UN number, the proper shipping name, and the shipper/consignee details. The UN number (UN 3480) signals to handlers and emergency responders what kind of dangerous good is inside. The proper shipping name confirms it is a lithium ion battery, so workers know the specific material they’re dealing with. Including the shipper and consignee name and address provides traceability and ensures the package can be tracked and routed correctly through the supply chain. If you only put the UN number and shipper/consignee names, you’re missing the exact object name. If you only put the proper shipping name, the UN number and identification of who sent and who will receive the package aren’t clearly shown. A dangerous goods label alone doesn’t convey the UN number or shipper/consignee information. So the combination of UN number, proper shipping name, and shipper/consignee name and address is the complete, correct labeling requirement.
