The lithium batteries must be of a type that have successfully passed the UN38.3 tests and contain the necessary systems to prevent overcharge and over discharge between the batteries.
The provisions of the DGR with respect to lithium batteries may also be found in the IATA lithium Battery Shipping Regulations (LBSR) 11th Edition. In addition to the content from the DGR, the LBSR also has additional classification flowcharts and detailed packing and documentation examples for lithium batteries.
Whenever packages containing lithium batteries fulfilling the exemption of part 1 of the applicable packing instructions are to be prepared for transport, it must be ensured that only staff trained and advised in accordance to this “Packing and Handling Procedure” will take over the required duties to prepare the shipment for transport.
It is important to remember that the size of the cell or battery has important implications for shipping requirements. Size refers not only to physical dimensions and weight, but also the energy capacity of the battery. For lithium ion cells and batteries, size is measured by Watt-hour (Wh) ratings.
UN3481, Lithium Ion Batteries / Cells – PI967 Section II. The equipment must be packed in strong rigid outer packaging. Large equipment can be offered for transport unpackaged or on pallets when the cells or batteries are afforded equivalent protection by the equipment in which they are contained.
These requirements apply to lithium metal cells with a lithium metal content in excess of 1 g and lithium metal batteries with an aggregate lithium content in excess of 2 g that have been determined to meet the criteria for assignment to Class 9. The General Packing Requirements of 5.0.2 must be met.
