What packing group is dry ice?

Explanation:
Packing group indicates the level of hazard and guides how the material must be packaged and handled. Dry ice is UN 1845, classed as a dangerous good because it sublimates to carbon dioxide gas, which can displace air and cause asphyxiation in confined spaces. The correct packing group for dry ice is the middle level of hazard, Packing Group II. This reflects the gas-release risk being significant but not at the highest level of hazard, and it requires proper packaging and ventilation rather than being Not Assigned or at the lowest level. So the appropriate choice is Packing Group II.
