Shipping Guidelines for Lithium Ion Batteries Dok-Typ: Information 1.

Dok-Nr.: IM_L_005

Rev.: A

Introduction

Transport of lithium ion batteries is in the scope of Dangerous Goods Transport Regulations. Therefore many specific requirements have to be respected for their transport. The following recommendations have been created to provide initial practical guidance to the regulations of the transport of lithium ion batteries. It refers to the commercial transport by • Road / Rail (ADR/RID) • Seafreight (IMDG) • Airfreight (IATA) Lithium • • •

ion batteries are classified as follows: UN3480 Lithium Ion batteries UN3481 Lithium Ion batteries contained in equipment UN3481 Lithium Ion batteries packed with equipment

Especially the watt-hour rating and other conditions classify which dangerous goods regulations must be taken into account for the transport of lithium ion batteries. Please refer to the product data sheet. For all shipments, it is required that all personnel involved in the preparation and transport of lithium ion cells or batteries receive adequate instruction on these requirements or Dangerous Goods training. In individual cases, a dangerous goods expert should be consulted. Local authorities are responsible for the interpretation and implementation of the relevant regulations. They can make decisions differing from this guidelines. Therefore, no liability can be assumed for the content and the completeness of this document.

Provisions for Lithium Batteries carried by Passengers on Aircrafts

Certain restrictions apply to the carriage of lithium metal and lithium ion batteries even when carried by passengers as baggage. Only batteries that have successfully passed the Tests outlined in Part III, Sub Section 38.3 of the UN Manual of tests and criteria may be carried.

UN Transportation Testing (UN DOT 38.3) for Lithium Batteries

Nearly all lithium batteries are required to pass section 38.3 of the UN Manual of Tests and Criteria (UN Transportation Testing) with the following procedure: T1 – Altitude Simulation (Primary and Secondary Cells and Batteries) T2 – Thermal Test (Primary and Secondary Cells and Batteries) T3 – Vibration (Primary and Secondary Cells and Batteries) T4 – Shock (Primary and Secondary Cells and Batteries) T5 – External Short Circuit (Primary and Secondary Cells and Batteries) T6 – Impact (Primary and Secondary Cells) T7 – Overcharge (Secondary Batteries) T8 – Forced Discharge (Primary and Secondary Cells) IM_L_005_A_Shipping_Guidelines_Lithium_Ion_Batteries

Shipping Guidelines 6.1. Shipment of Lithium Ion Batteries ≤ 100 Wh by Truck / Rail (ADR/RID), Sea Freight (IMDG)

A passed transportation test according section 38.3 of the UN Manual of Tests and Criteria is required!

6.1.1. Example: Packaging containing batteries ≤ 100 Wh, SP188

This package must be handled with care. A flammability hazard exists if the package is damaged. If this package is damaged in transportation, it must not be loaded until the condition of the contents can be verified. The batteries contained in this package must be inspected for damage and may only be repacked if they are intact and protected against short circuits. For more information about the batteries contained in this package, call the following telephone number: (Phone number)

Max. content: 30 Kg G (G = gross weight) per packaging IM_L_005_A_Shipping_Guidelines_Lithium_Ion_Batteries
