Batteries Transport is a joint industry initiative with the goal of facilitating the implementation of the legal requirements applicable to the transport of battery cells, batteries and equipment containing batteries.
The professional transport of battery-related articles – via air, sea or road – is subject to international, national and regional regulatory frameworks, which include comprehensive administrative and operational measures to ensure the safe transport at all times. The requirements apply to lead-, lithium-, nickel- and sodium-based batteries.
One of the major risks associated with the transport of batteries and battery-powered equipment is short-circuit of the battery as a result of the battery terminals coming into contact with other batteries, metal objects, or conductive surfaces.
When preparing batteries for shipping, examine the Watt-hours rating, which indicates the battery energy capacity. Higher Watt-hour batteries require greater precautions. Check the State of Charge (SOC), which is the percentage of available power. IATA regulations say that for air transport, the SOC should never exceed 30%.
A table in the Lithium Battery Shipping Regulations manual gives the precise weight of batteries per package on both cargo and passenger aircraft. All marks and labels must be clearly visible on the exterior of all packages and overpacks. Proper marking and labeling is required when shipping lithium batteries by air.
That’s why the International Air Transport Association (IATA) is promoting the increased viability of air transport for lithium-ion batteries through a four-part approach: Promote the development of outcome-based, harmonized safety-related screening standards and processes for lithium batteries.
