Additional Requirements for air transport:
1. Cells and batteries must 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.
2. Cells and batteries must be manufactured under a quality management program.
3. The Watt-hour rating must be marked on the outside of the battery case except those
manufactured before 1 January 2009.
4. Cells and batteries must be packed in inner packagings that completely enclose the cell or battery.
To provide protection from damage or compression to the batteries, the inner packagings must be
placed in a strong rigid outer packaging of one of the packaging types shown below.
5. Each consignment must be accompanied with a document with an indication that:
·the package contains lithium ion cells or batteries;
·the package must be handled with care and that a flammability hazard exists if the package is
damaged;
·special procedures must be followed in the event the package is damaged, to include inspection and
repacking if necessary; and
·a telephone number for additional information.
6. Each package must be labelled with a lithium battery handling label (Figure 7.4.H).
7. A Shipper's Declaration for Dangerous Goods is not required.
8. Any person preparing or offering cells or batteries for transport must receive adequate instruction
on these requirements commensurate with their responsibilities.
9. Maximum net quantity of lithium ion cells must not be more than 5 kg.
10. Equipment must be equipped with an effective means of preventing accidental activation.
11. The equipment containing the cells or batteries must be secured against movement within the
outer packaging and be packed so as to prevent accidental operation during air transport.
12. The equipment must 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 cell or battery is afforded equivalent protection by the equipment in which it is contained.
13. Where a consignment includes packages bearing the lithium battery handling label, the words
“Lithium ion batteries in compliance with Section Ⅱ of PI 967” must be included on the air waybill,
when an air waybill is used. The information should be shown in the “Nature and Quantity of
Goods” box of the air waybill.
