Packages for material containing radioactive substances are classified as “Type A”, “Type B” and “Type C”. Type A is for radioactive materials whose values are given in Table 1 of Annex 1 to the Regulation. Type B packs are the ones designed and produced to resist serious impacts due to heavy accidents, and a special certificate is issued for such packs.
