13. Transportation Information
A)
In general, all batteries in all forms of transportation (ground, air, or ocean) must be packed in a safe and responsible manner.
Regulatory concerns from all agencies for safe packaging require that batteries be packaged in a manner that prevents short
circuits and contained in “strong outer packaging” that prevents spillage of contents. All original packaging for our nickel
hydride batteries has been designed to be compliant with these regulatory concerns.
Our nickel metal hydride batteries (sometimes referred to as “Dry cell” batteries) are not defined as dangerous goods under
the IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations 57th edition 2016 ICAO Technical Instructions and the U.S hazardous materials
regulations (49 CFR).
These batteries are not subject to be the dangerous goods regulations as they are compliant with the requirements contained
in the following special provisions:
Regulatory Body Special Provisions

IMO UN3496 SP117 and SP963
UN UN3496
US DOT 49 CFR 172, 102 Provision 130

In addition, the IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations and ICAO Technical Instructions require the words “not restricted” and the
Special Provision number A199 be provided on the air waybill, when an air waybill is issued.
