Which label is required on all excepted packages of radioactive material?

Explanation:
When shipping radioactive material in the excepted category, the package must be clearly marked with a label that reads “Radioactive Material, Excepted Package.” This communicates that the contents are radioactive but fall under the exemption provisions, meaning very low activity and lighter regulatory requirements than regular radioactive material shipments. The other marks refer to different hazards or product-specific requirements (heat-related, lithium batteries, cryogenic liquids) and are not used for excepted radioactive material.
