Which packing group is used for Division 6.1 substances with very severe toxicity risk?

Explanation:
Packing groups show how hazardous a toxic substance is and drive the required packaging. For Division 6.1, the most severe toxicity risk calls for the highest level of packaging containment, which is Packing Group I. This designation means the substance is very highly toxic and must meet the strictest packing and handling standards during transport. The other groups indicate progressively less severity (II then III), so they don’t apply to substances with very severe toxicity. There is no standard Packing Group 4 in this system.
