K. For the purposes of the lithium battery packing instructions, what is considered the "package"?
K--在IATA DGR 规定中,包装说明中的“包装件package”如何理解?
The package is the complete product of the packing operation that satisfies the requirements of the packing instruction and in a manner ready to be presented for transport (shipper/consignee information, hazard communication, etc). The package may contain multiple batteries or pieces of equipment provided the limitations set out in the applicable packing instruction are not exceeded. The package must be marked and labelled as required by the packing instruction. A single package may be offered for transport, or one or more packages may then be placed into an overpack for ease of handling or transport purposes. When an overpack is used, the package markings and labels must be duplicated on the overpack unless the markings and labels required on individual packages are visible, or are not required by the packing instruction (i.e. not more than 4 cells or 2 batteries when contained in equipment).
包装说明中包装件是指经包装作业后的完整产品,它满足包装说明的所有要求。在不超过包装说明中规定限值的前提下,包装件内可以装有多个电池或设备。包装件必须依据包装说明的规定进行标记和标签。单个包装件可以直接交运,出于方便操作或运输目的,一个或多个包装件可以放在合成包装件内。使用合成包装件时,包装件的标记和标签应复制在合成包装件外部,除非单个包装件的标记和标签从合成包装件外清晰可见,或者包装说明没有要求(如安装在设备中的少于4 个电池芯或2 个电池)。
