International Transport Regulations 39 1.11 Lithium and sodium ion batteries in vehicles Vehicles powered by lithium and sodium ion batteries Class 9 UN 3556 VEHICLE, LITHIUM ION BATTERY POWERED, This entry applies to vehicles powered by lithium ion batteries carried with the batteries installed UN 3557 VEHICLE, LITHIUM METAL BATTERY POWERED This entry applies to vehicles powered by lithium metal batteries carried with the batteries installed UN 3558 VEHICLE, SODIUM ION BATTERY POWERED, This entry applies to vehicles powered by sodium ion batteries carried with the batteries installed Note: vehicles powered by batteries other than Lithium metal batteries, lithium ion batteries and sodium ion batteries, are classified as UN 3171 BATTERY POWERED VEHICLE, they are described in the e-book on Pb, NiCd, NiMH, NaNiCl Batteries. Lithium batteries shall meet the provisions of ADR § 2.2.9.1.7.1; IMDG § 2.9.4, IATA § 3.9.2.6. Sodium ion batteries shall meet the provisions of ADR § 2.2.9.1.7.2, IMDG § 2.9.5, IATA § 3.9.2.7. They have to pass all the requirements of the Manual of Tests and Criteria, subsection 38.3; these test requirements not apply to prototypes and production runs ≤ 100 cells and batteries. Vehicles are self-propelled apparatus designed to carry one or more persons or goods. Examples of such vehicles are electrically-powered cars, motorcycles, scooters, three- and four-wheeled vehicles or motorcycles, trucks, locomotives, bicycles (pedal cycles with a motor) and other vehicles of this type (e.g. self-balancing vehicles or vehicles not equipped with at least one seating position), wheel chairs, lawn tractors, self-propelled farming and construction equipment, boats and aircraft. Note 1: When vehicles are carried in a packaging, some parts of the vehicle, other than the battery, may be detached from its frame to fit into the packaging. Note 2: According to IATA, lithium and sodium ion batteries which have been removed from the vehicle and are packed separate from the vehicle in the same outer packaging, must be offered for transport as: • UN 3091, Lithium metal batteries packed with equipment" and Packing Instruction 969;. • UN 3481, Lithium ion batteries packed with equipment" and Packing Instruction 966;. • UN 3552, Sodium ion batteries packed with equipment" and Packing Instruction 977;. Note 3: Equipment powered by lithium metal batteries or lithium ion batteries must be consigned under the entries • UN 3091 Lithium metal batteries contained in equipment or • UN 3091 Lithium metal batteries packed with equipment or • UN 3481 Lithium ion batteries contained in equipment or • UN 3481 Lithium ion batteries packed with equipment, as appropriate. Examples of equipment are lawnmowers, cleaning machines or model boats and model aircraft. ADR: Not subject to ADR. Provisions of ADR do not apply to Lithium and Sodium ion batteries installed in a vehicle, performing a transport operation and destined for its propulsion or for the operation of any of its equipment.
