3. Section II - Packing Instructions 965 – 970

“Small” lithium ion and lithium metal cells and batteries that meet the Watt-hour or lithium content limits set out in Section II of PI 965 to PI 970 are only subject to certain parts of the DGR when shipped as cargo. The bulk of the requirements for these small lithium batteries are contained within the General Requirements at

the start of each packing instruction which apply to all lithium batteries and then the specific requirements set out in Section II of each packing instruction, which are as follows:

(a) classification (DGR 3.9.2.6);

(b) limitations on consolidations for lithium metal batteries in PI968 only (DGR

1.3.3 and 9.1.8);

(c) limits on the quantity of lithium cells or batteries per package (Table II of the

applicable packing instruction);

(d) strong outer packagings (see Section II of applicable packing instruction);

(e) marking and labelling of packages (Additional Requirements of Section II of

the applicable packing instruction);

(f) the details of the consignment must be described (Additional Requirements of

Section II of the applicable packing instruction).

Exceptions

Small lithium metal and lithium ion batteries are not subject to all of the provisions of the DGR provided that they comply with all of the requirements set out in Section II of Packing Instructions 965, 966 and 967 for lithium ion batteries and Section II of Packing Instructions 968, 969 and 970 for lithium metal batteries in the 56th Edition of the IATA DGR.

Packages containing lithium batteries, or lithium batteries contained in, or packed with, equipment that meet the provisions of Section II of these packing instructions are not required to have a Class 9 hazard label and there is no requirement for a Shipper’s Declaration for Dangerous Goods for consignments of these batteries. However, in the event of an incident involving these batteries, the incident reporting requirements apply.

Note:

Only batteries that have successfully passed the test procedures of Part III, Sub-

Section 38.3 of the UN Manual of Tests and Criteria qualify under this exception. This is also true for so-called “OEM” or “aftermarket” batteries. Any battery manufacturer or distributor should be able to provide documentation confirming that the batteries have been so tested.

Quantities of lithium metal and lithium ion cells and batteries that exceed the “per package” limits described in Section II of the packing instruction 965 (Table 965-II) and 968 (Table 968-II) must be assigned to class 9 and shipped as “Section IB”. All applicable requirements contained in the IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations

relating to these commodities must be complied with, including the training

requirements, except that UN Specification packaging is not required.

Packages must bear the Class 9 hazard label in addition to the lithium battery

handling label.

Lithium metal and lithium ion batteries larger than those permitted by Section II of the applicable packing instruction must be assigned to Class 9 and consigned as

UN 3090 (Lithium metal batteries), UN 3480 (Lithium ion batteries), UN 3091 (Lithium metal batteries contained in equipment or Lithium metal batteries packed with

equipment) or UN 3481 (Lithium ion batteries contained in equipment or Lithium ion batteries packed with equipment). All applicable requirements contained in the IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations relating to these commodities must be complied with, including the training requirements; a “Shipper’s Declaration for Dangerous Goods” must be issued, and packages must bear the Class 9 hazard label.

Special Provisions

There are a number of special provisions which may allow for the transport of lithium batteries other than in accordance with the defined conditions or limits, or which require the shipper to take additional precautions when preparing batteries for

transport. The special provisions applicable to lithium batteries are set out following. Notwithstanding the general requirement that prior to being transported each type of lithium battery must have successfully passed the UN test requirements, there is provision for prototype lithium batteries that have not yet passed the UN test

requirements to be shipped for testing purposes, this testing includes pre-production or product compatibility testing, in accordance with Special Provision A88, as follows:

A88 Prototype or low production, (i.e. annual production runs consisting of no

more than 100 lithium cells or batteries) lithium cells or batteries that have not

been tested to the requirements in subsection 38.3 of the UN Manual of Tests

and Criteria may be transported aboard cargo aircraft, if approved by the

appropriate authority of the State of origin and the following requirements are

met:

a) except as provided in paragraph (c), the cells or batteries must be

transported in an outer packaging that is a metal, plastic or plywood drum

or a metal, plastic or wooden box and that meets the criteria for Packing

Group I packagings;

b) except as provided in paragraph (c), each cell or battery must be

individually packed in an inner packaging inside an outer packaging and

surrounded by cushioning material that is non-combustible, and non-

conductive. Cells or batteries must be protected against short-circuiting;

c) lithium batteries with a mass of 12 kg or greater and having a strong,

impact resistant outer casing, or assemblies of such batteries, may be

packed in strong outer packagings or protective enclosures not subject to

the requirements of Section 6 of these Regulations. The batteries or

battery assemblies must be protected against short circuiting; and
