60 2.1.3_II LITHIUM METAL CELLS PACKED WITH EQUIPMENT (including lithium alloy cells) Small cells excepted UN 3091 Applies to: Lithium metal cells packed with equipment with a lithium metal content not exceeding 1 g/cell UN No., Proper Shipping Name UN 3091, LITHIUM METAL BATTERIES PACKED WITH EQUIPMENT Class 9 Small excepted Packing Group Not assigned Hazard Label Not required Prerequisite • Cells must meet the General Requirements of § 1.3 in particular the test requirements Transport mode ADR IMDG IATA Passenger Aircraft Cargo Exemption conditions SP 188 SP 188 PI 969 section II Cells must be protected against short circuit. This includes protection against contact with conductive materials within the same packaging that could lead to a short circuit. Equipment and packed cells must be packed in strong outer packagings Packaging Not required approved packaging Use strong outer packaging, it must be capable of withstanding a 1.2 m drop test in any orientation without damage to cells contained therein, without shifting of the contents so as to allow cell to cell contact and without release of contents Two possible solution, lithium metal cells must: • be placed in inner packagings that completely enclose the cell, then placed in a strong outer packaging; or • be placed in inner packagings that completely enclose the cell, then placed with equipment in a strong outer packaging The equipment must be secured against movement within the outer packaging. - - For each package of lithium metal cells or the completed package a stacking test (3m height for 24 hours) is required. Quantity limit of cells/package No limit No limit the minimum number required to power the equipment plus 2 spares. Weight limit per package No limit No limit 5 kg Net 5 kg Net Marking and Labelling of Packages Minimum dimensions: 100 × 100 mm Where the packages are of dimensions such that they can only bear smaller labels the label dimensions may be reduced to 100 mm × 70 mm Overpack OVERPACK + same labels as above OVERPACK + same labels as above OVERPACK + same labels as above OVERPACK + same labels as above Provision: see § 1.9.4 Documents Transport document is not required MDGF is not required Shipper’s declaration is not required; The words “Lithium metal batteries in compliance with Section II of PI 969” must be included in “Nature and Quantity of Goods” box of the air waybill. Instructions to personnel Any person preparing or offering cells for transport must receive adequate instruction on these requirements commensurate with their responsibilities. Figure 5.2.1.8.3 Environmentally hazardous substance mark The mark shall be in the form of a square set at an angle of 45° (diamond-shaped). The symbol (fish and tree) shall be black on white or suitable contrasting background. The minimum dimensions shall be 100 mm × 100 mm and the minimum width of the line forming the diamond shall be 2 mm. If the size of the package so requires, the dimensions/line thickness may be reduced, provided the mark remains clearly visible. Where dimensions are not specified, all features shall be in approximate proportion to those shown. NOTE: The labelling provisions of 5.2.2 apply in addition to any requirement for packages to bear the environmentally hazardous substance mark. 5.2.1.9 Lithium battery mark 5.2.1.9.1 Packages containing lithium cells or batteries prepared in accordance with special provision 188 of Chapter 3.3 shall be marked as shown in Figure 5.2.1.9.2. 5.2.1.9.2 The mark shall indicate the UN number preceded by the lett rs "UN", i.e. ‘UN 3090’ for lithium me al cells or batteries or ‘UN 3480’ for lithium ion cells or batteries. Where the lithium cells or batteries are contained in, or packed with, equipment, the UN number preceded by the letters "UN", i.e. ‘UN 3091’ or ‘UN 3481’ as appropriate shall be indicated. Where a package contains lithium cells or batteries assigned to different UN numbers, all applicable UN numbers shall be indicated on one or more marks.
