Which option correctly states 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)

Minimum outer dimensions for a Category A package. Category A packaging must be large enough to hold the triple packaging components (primary container, secondary containment, and outer packaging) plus cushioning and absorbent, while still allowing the outer container to meet performance requirements. An outer size of 100 mm on each side (100 x 100 x 100 mm) provides sufficient space for all these elements and for the necessary labeling and protective clearance. The smaller options are far too small to accommodate the inner containers, padding, and compliance features, so they cannot meet the packaging requirements.
