The UN specification mark on packaging indicates compliance with UN packaging standards.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Not applicable
• D. Only for international shipments

Answer: (A)

The UN specification mark on packaging shows that the package has been tested and certified to UN packaging standards. This means it has met the performance requirements defined by the UN for containment, strength, and durability under the conditions it may encounter during transport. Because these standards underpin the safe transport of dangerous goods across modes and regulatory regimes, the mark serves as proof that the packaging is approved for use in such shipments. It’s not just for international moves, but for any transport situation governed by UN packaging regulations. The other options don’t fit because the mark does indicate compliance, it isn’t merely not applicable, and it isn’t restricted only to international shipments.
