Section XIV – Transportation Information
In general, all batteries in all forms of transportation (ground, air, or ocean) must be packaged 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 be contained in “strong outer packaging” that
prevents spillage of contents. All original packaging for GP alkaline batteries has been designed to be compliant with these regulatory concerns.
Alkaline batteries (sometimes referred to as “Dry cell” batteries) are not listed as dangerous goods under the IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations, ICAO
Technical Instructions and the U.S. hazardous materials regulations (49 CFR). These batteries are not subject to the dangerous goods regulations provided they
meet the requirements contained in the following special provisions.
Regulatory Body Special Provisions
ADR 295 - 304, 598
IMDG UN 3028 Provisions 295 - 304
UN UN 3028 Provisions 295 - 304
US DOT 49 CFR 172.102 Provision 130
IATA A123
ICAO UN 3028 Provisions 295 - 304
All GP alkaline batteries are packed in such a way to prevent short circuits or the generation dangerous quantities of heat and meet the special
provisions listed above. In addition, the IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations and ICAO Technical Instructions require the words “not restricted” and the
Special Provision number A123 be provided on the air waybill, when an air waybill is issued.
Non-dangerous goods.
Such battery have been packed in inner packaging in such a manner as to effectively prevent short circuit and movement that could lead to short circuit.
