Shipment of lithium battery
* Place for UN number(s), i.e. UN 3090, UN 3091, UN 3480 and/ or UN 3481, as applicable, the UN number(s) indicated on the mark should be at least 12 mm high.
** Place for telephone number.
Note:
The telephone number should be of a person knowledgeable about the shipment but is not intended to be for the purposes of obtaining immediate emergency response guidance and is therefore not required to be monitored at all times that the package is in transit. It is acceptable for the number to be monitored during the company's normal business hours in order to provide product-specific information relative to the shipment. However, it also is acceptable to use an emergency response 24-hours phone number on the lithium battery mark.
*Labeling & Markign for Air Shipments.
Air Shipment Regulations.
Restriction on Passenger Aircraft: Standalone lithium metal batteries (UN 3090) are generally prohibited on passenger aircraft.
Cargo Aircraft Only: Lithium batteries, including those packed with or contained in equipment, may only be shipped on cargo aircraft under strict size and quantity limits.
Packagin and Labeling: Shippers must use approved packaging and follow labeling requirements to precent short circuits and thermal runaway.
Documentation: Essential documentation - such as the UN 38.3 test certificatino - must accompany the shipment.
State of Charge (SoC): Lithium-ion batteries must notexceed the specified maximum SoC, typically 30%.
"Cargo Aircraft Only" Label: Required for all relevant shipments.
Additional AIrline Restrictions: Some airlines may enforce stricter rules depending on battery type, size, capacity.
* Exceptions exist to the marking requirments - see PI 970 Section II
* Regulatory Flowcharts
Sea shipment regulations
IMDG Code Compliance: All sea shipments must adhere to the International Maritime Dangerous Goods (IMDG) code.
UN-Certified Packaging: Required to prevent leaks, vibrations, and short circuits during transport.
Dangerous Goods Declaration: Mandatory for customs clearance and approval.
Potentially Fewer Restrictions: Compared to air transport, sea freight often allows more flexibility in shipping standalone lithium batteries.
General Considerations (Air & Sea)
Fire Hazard: Lithium batteries present a fire risk due to their high energy density.
Short Circuit Prevention: Proper packaging and isolation measures are essential.
Regulatory Compliance: Shippers are responsible for meeting all applicable regulations.
Country-Specific Rules: Additional requirements may apply based on the destination country. Always confirm with local customs authorities.
Reference Standards: The IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations remain a critical reference for both air and sea transport.
We look forward to your communication and cooperation!
