What packaging standard is required for Section I?

What packaging standard is required for Section I?

• A. UN specification packaging required (PGII standards).
• B. Any packaging is allowed.
• C. Only wooden crates allowed.
• D. Plastic bags only.

Answer: (A)

Packaging must meet UN specification standards, specifically UN specification packaging that complies with PG II. This means the container has been tested and certified to withstand rough handling, stacking, and potential leaks during transport, providing reliable containment for batteries. Because of the safety and consistency requirements for Section I, only UN specification packaging is acceptable. Non‑UN packaging, or options like “any packaging,” wooden crates only, or plastic bags only, do not carry the required testing and certification and cannot ensure safe shipment.
