Their regulations are based on the UN Recommendations. Each special provision provides speci cations on exceptions and
packaging for lithium batteries shipping. All CR batteries of Renata AG meet all special provisions.
Summary of Packing Instruction (IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations 52nd Edition):
The minimum requirements necessary to transport as partly regulated goods are as follows;
1) For a lithium metal or lithium alloy cell, the lithium content is not
more than 1g. For a lithium metal or lithium alloy battery,
the aggregate lithium content is not more than 2g.
2) Each cell or battery is of the type proven to meet the requirement of each test in the UN Manual of Tests and Criteria,
Part III, subsection 38.3.
3) Each consignment must be accompanied with a certi cation that the goods meet the conditions for transportation as
"partly regulated" ( Specimen See Annex IV ).
4) Each package must be displayed a battery handling
label ( Specimen See Annex II).
5) Each package must be capable of withstanding a 1.2 m drop test.
However, if they meet the following requirements of Special Provision 188 of the UN Model Regulations, Packing
Instruction 968 IATA/ICAO, Special Provision 310 of the IMDG Code, Special Provision 188 of the ADR and RID

This includes protection against contact with conductive materials within the same packagings that could
lead to short circuit. The inner packagings shall be packed
in strong outer packagings which conform to
provisions of 4.1.1.1, 4.1.1.2 and 4.1.1.5.
(e) Cells and batteries when installed in equipment shall be protected from damage and short circuit, and the
equipment shall be equipped with
an e
ective means of preventing accidental activation. When Lithium
Batteries are installed in equipment, the equipment shall be packed in strong outer packagings constructed
of suitable material of adequate strength and design in relation to the packaging's capacity and its intended
use unless the battery is a
orded equivalent by pr otection by the equipment in which it is contained.
(f) Except for packages containing no more than four cells installed
in equipment or no more that two batteries
installed in equipment, each package shall be marked with the following (see annex II):
