Repacking is required in which scenario?

• A. Repacking is transferring to a larger container.
• B. Repacking is placing DG into proper UN packaging when damage or labeling found or initial packaging is insufficient; must be tested again.
• C. Repacking is only for damaged UN numbers.
• D. Repacking is optional for prohibited DG.

Answer: (B)

Repacking means placing dangerous goods into proper UN packaging that meets the required packing instructions and has been tested for containment. It is required whenever the current package can no longer assure safe transport. This includes situations where the packaging is damaged, the labeling is incorrect or missing, or the initial packaging is not sufficient to contain the contents safely. In these cases, the goods must be repacked into approved UN packaging and the packaging must be tested again to confirm it still meets performance standards before reshipping. Transferring to a larger container isn’t the automatic trigger by itself—repacking focuses on compliance with UN packaging requirements, not merely changing the container size. Repacking isn’t limited to damaged UN numbers; it applies whenever the packaging or labeling is inadequate, regardless of the product. And repacking isn’t a free-for-all for prohibited dangerous goods; these items must be packaged to UN standards and may require repacking to maintain regulatory compliance.
