All listed in Annex I, Renata Lithium Ion cells and batteries fulfil the conditions pursuant to the requirements
for partly regulated transportation of the relevant Rules and Regulations according to the above mentioned
technical Guidelines.
Summary of Transport Packing Instructions and Special Provisions of above mentioned Technical Guidelines:
1. For all lithium ion and lithium polymer cells, listed in Annex I, the Watt-hour rating is not more than 2.7Wh.
Excepting Articles: ICP543759 (Watt-hour rating is 4.9 Wh) and ICP606168 (Watt-hour rating is 10.4 Wh).
2. For all the lithium ion cells or batteries, listed in Annex I, we hereby confirm, that the cells are fully and successfully
tested to meet the requirements of each test in the UN Manual of Tests and Criteria, Part III, subsection 38.3 (Edition 5) –
(IATA DGR 3.9.2.6).
The cells are also safe for transport when build-in equipment (IATA - PI 967) or packed with equipment (IATA - PI 966)
shipped under UN 3481.
Important: assembly of the cells and batteries is in the responsibility of the customer and may makes new safety tests
related to devices necessary.
3. Packing, marking, labelling and weight limitations must be observed as per technical guidelines of the respective
transport mode.
4. We hereby declare, that for all airfreight shipments the state of charge of the cells and batteries does not exceed a Rate
of 30%.
5. For shipments by Airfreight under Section IB, a dangerous goods declaration (DGD) will align the shipment as per IATA
dangerous goods regulations. For shipments by Airfreight under Section II, only a caution statement will align the
shipment, see Annex III.
Note I: Lithium ion cells and batteries are forbidden for transportation aboard passenger-carrying aircraft.
Note II: Example of Lithium ion polymer Battery Mark Label, see Annex II
