Section XIII – Disposal Method
Dispose of batteries according to government regulations.
Section XIV – Transportation Information
GP primary carbon zinc cylindrical cells/batteries are considered to be “dry cell” batteries and are unregulated for purposes of transportation by the U.S.
Department of Transportation (DOT), International Civic Aviation Administration (ICAO), International Air Transport Association (IATA), the
International Maritime Organization (IMO). (Carbon zinc batteries are not regulated for transportation as “DANGEROUS GOODS” under the IATA
Dangerous Goods Regulations 58
th
edition 2017.)
IATA DGR: Special Provision A123: “Example of such batteries are: akali-manganese, zinc carbon. and nickel-cadmium batteries. Any electrical
battery…having the potential of a dangerous evolution of heat must be prepared for transport as to prevent (a) a short-circuit (e.g. in the case of
batteries, by the effective insulation of exposed terminals.) is forbidden from transport; and (b) accidental activation. The words “Not Restricted” and
the Special Provision number must be included in the description of the substance on the Air Waybill as required by 8.2.6 when an Air Waybill is
issued.
EU: As primary carbon zinc cells/batteries are not explicitly mentioned in RID/ADR, there are no special Dangerous Goods shipment requirements for
these products.
USA: 49 CFR§172.102 Special Provision 130: “For other than dry battery specifically covered by another entry in the §172.101 Table, “Batteries,
dry” are not subject to the requirements of this subchapter when they are securely packaged and offered for transportation in a manner that prevents the
dangerous evolution of heat (for example, by the effective insulation of exposed terminals) and protects against short circuits.”
Section XV – Regulatory Information
