Which statements about packages inside an overpack are true?

• A. Individually marked and labeled
• B. All of the above
• C. Compliant with the appropriate packing instructions
• D. Capable of passing any required package tests

Answer: (B)

Inner packages inside an overpack must be prepared to meet safety and regulatory requirements. Each inner package needs to be individually marked and labeled so its contents and hazards are clearly identified during handling and transport. They also must be compliant with the appropriate packing instructions, ensuring the packaging materials, closures, and cushioning are suitable for the hazard. Finally, the inner packaging must be capable of passing any required package tests specified by the packing instruction, demonstrating it can withstand the conditions of transport. The overpack does not replace these standards for the inner packages; it simply provides secure outer containment. Because all these conditions apply, the statements describe true requirements for packages inside an overpack.
