(b) For a lithium-ion battery, the Watt-hour rating is not more than100 Wh.
Lithium ion batteries subject to this provision shall be marked with the Watt-hour rating on the outside case, except
those manufactured befor e 1 January 2009 ;
(c) Each cell or battery is of the type proved to meet the requirements of each test in the UN Manual of Tests and
Criteria, PartV, sub-section 38.3 ;
(d) Cells and batteries, except when installed in equipment, shall be packed in inner packagings that completely
enclose the cell or battery. Cells and batteries shall be protected so as to prevent short circuits.
This includes protection against contact with conductive materials within the same packaging that could lead to a
short circuit. The inner packagings shall be packed in strong outer packagings ;
(e) Cells and batteries when installed in equipment shall be protected from damage and short circuit, and the
equipment shall be equipped with an effective means of preventing accidental activation. When 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 afforded
equivalent protection by the equipment in which it is contained;
(f) Except for packages containing button cell batteries installed in equipment (including circuit boards), or no more
than four cells installed in equipment or no more than two batteries installed in equipment, each package shall be
marked with the following:
(i) an indication that the package contain “lithium ion" cells or batteries, as appropriate;
(ii) an indication that the package shall be handled with care and that a flammability hazard exists if the package is
damaged;
(iii) an indic at ion that special procedures shall be followed in the event the package is damaged, to incl ude inspection
and repacking if necessary; and
(iv) a telephone number for additional information;
(g) Each consignment of one or more packages marked in accordance with paragraph (f) shall be accompanied with a
document including the following:
(i) an indication that the package contains “lithium ion" cells or batteries, as appropriate;
(ii) an indication that the package shall be handled with care and that a flammability hazard exists if the package is
damaged;
(iii) an indic at ion that special procedures shall be followed in the event the package is damaged, to incl ude inspection
and repacking if necessary; and
(iv) a telephone number for additional information;
(h) Except when batteries are installed in equipment, each package shall be capable of withstanding a 1.2 m drop test
in any orientation without damage to cells or batteries contained therein, without shifting of the contents so as to allow
battery to battery (or cell to cell) contact and without release of contents: and
(i) Except when batteries are contained in or packed with equipment, packages shall not exceed 30 kg gross mass for
marine transportation. (not exceed10kg for air transportation)
For marine transportation the product is handled as Non-Dangerous Goods by meeting the IMO International
Maritime Dangerous Goods (IMDG Code) 2015 Edition (Amendment 36-12) SP188 (Same as UN Special Provision
SP188 above).
(3)For air transportation the product is handled as Non-D angerous Goods by meeting the IATA Dangerous Goods
Regulations 56 Edition Effective 1 January 2015 Packing Instruction 965-967 General Requirement and
Section(Excepted) and UN Special Provision SP188 above.(2)
(j) Lithium ion batteries identified by manufacturer as being defective for safety reasons, or that have been damaged,
that have the potential of producing a dangerous evolution of heat, fire or short circuit are forbidden for transport (e.g.
those being returned to the manufacturer for safety reasons).
(k) Each package contains more than four cells or more than two batteries must be labeled with a lithium battery
