Which UN and packing instruction corresponds to lithium ion batteries contained in equipment?

• A. UN3481, P.I. 967
• B. UN3481, P.I. 966
• C. UN3482, P.I. 966
• D. UN3482, P.I. 967

Answer: (A)

When lithium ion batteries are contained in equipment, you ship them using UN 3481 with Packing Instruction 967. “Contained in equipment” means the battery is installed in the device (like a laptop or camera) and ships as part of that device, not packed separately. The UN number identifies this specific battery category, and the packing instruction gives the exact packaging requirements for safe transport, including limits, containment, and handling. The other options mix a different UN number or a different packing instruction that apply to other configurations (such as batteries that are not contained in equipment or are packed with equipment). So the pairing of UN 3481 with Packing Instruction 967 is the correct match for lithium ion batteries contained in equipment.
