International Transport Regulations 41 Lithium ion cells or batteries and lithium metal cells or batteries identified as being damaged such that they do not conform to the type tested according to the applicable provisions of the UN Manual of Tests and Criteria or identified as being def c iv for safety reasons, that have the potential of producing a dangerou evolution of heat, fire or short circuit (e.g. those being returned to the manufacturer for safety reasons or cells or batteries that cannot be diagnosed as defective prior to transport), are forbidden for transport by air. Hybrid electric vehicles powered by both an internal combustion engine and lithium batteries, transported with the battery(ies) installed, must be consigned under Class 9 entries: • UN 3166 Vehicle, flammable gas powered or • UN 3166 Vehicle, flammable liquid powered, as appropriate. ➣Not subject to ADR if any valves between the engine and fuel tank or the gas tank shall be closed during carriage. ➣Not subject to IMDG if special provision 961 is fulfilled Lithium battery is of a type proved to meet the requirements of the Manual of Tests and Criteria, part III, subsection 38.3, except prototypes and production runs ≤ 100 cells and batteries. Vehicles which contain an internal combustion engine shall be assigned, in Class 9, to: • UN 3166, Vehicle, flammable gas powered or • UN 3166, Vehicle, flammable liquid powered, as appropriate. ➣Not subject to ADR if any valves between the engine and fuel tank or the gas tank shall be closed during carriage. ➣Not subject to IMDG Code if special provision 961 is fulfilled. Vehicles powered by a fuel cell engine shall be assigned, in Class 9, to: • UN 3166, Vehicle, fuel cell, flammable gas powered or • UN 3166, Vehicle, fuel cell, flammable liquid powered, as appropriate. ➣Not subject to ADR if any valves between the engine and fuel tank or the gas tank shall be closed during carriage . ➣Not subject to IMDG Code if special provision 961 is fulfilled. 1.12 Lithium batteries Installed in Cargo Transp rt Unit UN 3536 LITHIUM BATTERIES INSTALLED IN CARGO TRANSPORT UNIT Class 9 This entry only applies to cargo transport units in which lithium ion batteries or lithium metal batteries are installed and which are designed only to provide power external to the unit. The lithium batteries shall meet the provisions of ADR § 2.2.9.1.7 (a) to (g) and IMDG Code § 2.9.4.1 to .7 and contain the necessary systems to prevent overcharge and over discharge between the batteries. They are forbidden for air transportation. The batteries shall be securely attached to the interior structure of the cargo transport unit (e.g., by means of placement in racks, cabinets, etc.) in such a manner as to prevent short circuits, accidental operation, and significant movement relative to the cargo transport unit under the shocks, loadings and vibrations normally incident to carriage. Dangerous goods necessary for the safe and proper operation of the cargo transport unit (e.g., fire extinguishing systems and air
