SECTION VII – REGULATORY INFORMATION
REGULATORY INFORMATION
In general, the transportation of primary lithium cells and batteries (and batteries packaged with or in equipment) is
regulated as UN 3480 by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), International Air Transport Association
(IATA), International Maritime Dangerous Goods Code (IMDG), Accord European Sur le Transport des
Marchandises Dangereuses par Route (ADR) and the US Department of Transportation (US DOT ).
However, Lenmar lithium ion batteries are exempt from the majority of regulatory requirements of UN 3480 because
they meet the requirements of IATA Packaging Instructions 965 and various special provisions from IMDG, ADR and
the US DOT.
(Essentially, they are properly packaged and labeled, ≤ 20 Wh/Cell (cell), ≤ 100 Wh (battery pack) and pass the tests
defined in UN model regulation section 38.3).
SARA/TITLE III – As an article, this battery and its contents are not subject to the requirements of the Emergency
Planning and Community Right-To-Know Act.
