What are the minimum outer dimensions for a Category A package?

• A. 4 mm x 4 mm
• B. 100 mm x 100 mm
• C. 4 mm x 4 mm x 4mm
• D. 100 mm x 100 mm x 100 mm

Answer: (D)

For Category A, the outer packaging must meet a minimum size of 100 mm on each dimension. This three-dimensional requirement ensures there is enough space to place the contents safely inside, along with the necessary cushioning and a rigid outer shell to pass the required packaging tests. Tiny dimensions like 4 mm would be physically impractical for containing the contents and the protective layers, and two-dimensional options (only two measurements) don’t define the complete outer size. So, 100 mm × 100 mm × 100 mm is the minimum that satisfies the rule.
