Special Handling information certificates include which of the following?

• A. Special Arrangement approval certificate
• B. Type A package design approval certificate
• C. Overpack approval certificate
• D. Shipper's Declaration approval certificate

Answer: (A)

Special Handling Information for shipments that require a Special Arrangement is authorized by the competent authority, and the certificate that documents this approval is the Special Arrangement approval certificate. This certificate confirms that the shipment can be handled in a manner outside the standard rules, under the approved arrangement.

Other documents mentioned relate to different aspects of dangerous goods compliance: a package design approval certifies Type A packaging design compliance, an overpack approval certifies the use of an overpack, and the Shipper’s Declaration is a required shipping document—not an approval certificate.
