For Type C packages, which certificate is required?

• A. Type B package design approval certificate
• B. Fissile Material package design/shipment approval certificate
• C. Type C package design approval certificate
• D. Shipper's Declaration

Answer: (C)

Type C packaging has its own dedicated design approval certificate. This certificate confirms that the package design has been evaluated and approved specifically for carrying fissile materials by air, meeting the required containment, shielding, and performance standards. It’s the certification that validates the packaging itself for Type C service before any shipment is made.

Other certificates serve different categories: a Type B package design approval certificate covers Type B packages, a Fissile Material package design/shipment approval certificate applies in other regulatory contexts, and a Shipper's Declaration is a documentation requirement, not a packaging design approval.
