Question 3
Question
Do the quantity limits shown in the lithium battery packing instructions apply to overpacks containing lithium batteries?
Answer
The quantity limits shown in the packing instructions refer to the maximum net weight of lithium batteries in each package. Provided each package remains within the limit specified in the packing instruction, there are no limits specified for an overpack
The quantity limits shown in the packing instructions refer to the maximum net weight of lithium batteries in each package. Since an overpack is considered as the packaged it must remain within the limit specified in the packing instruction
Overpacks are not allowed for any lithium cells/batteries UN
Overpacks exceeding the quantity limits shown in the packing instructions may be approved with the authorization of the State of origin

False
Question 6
Question
Which of the following cell/battery types are forbidden for transport as cargo on passenger aircraft and must bear a Cargo Aircraft Only label in addition to other applicable marks.
Answer
All lithium ion cells and batteries shipped by themselves (UN 3480)
All lithium metal cells and batteries shipped by themselves (UN 3090)
Only sections IA and IB of lithium metal cells and batteries shipped by themselves (UN 3090). This requirement is not applicable for section II.
Only sections IA and IB of lithium ion cells and batteries shipped by themselves (UN 3480). This requirement is not applicable for section II.
Question 7
Question
Indicate which of the following statements are true for what constitutes "adequate instruction" (select more than one option).
Answer
All employees that are involved in the process of preparing lithium battery shipments must
be taken through the procedure to ensure that they understand and can demonstrate the
correct application of documented procedures for the packing, labelling, marking and
documentations requirements, as applicable to their job function
Employees should be given periodic refresher, or at least demonstrate that they remain
“adequately” instructed on how to perform the task. This should be done at least every two
years or whenever the procedure is revised, or regulations are changed, whichever is
sooner
Packing each battery or each battery-powered device when practicable, in fully enclosed
inner packagings made of non-conductive material (such as a plastic bag)
None of these options are true
Question 8
Question
A lithium battery mark must be affixed to packages when prepared in accordance with Section IA
of Packing Instructions 965 and 968 and Section I of Packing Instructions 966, 967, 969 and
970.
Answer
True
False
