96 2.2.3_II LITHIUM ION or SODIUM ION CELLS PACKED WITH EQUIPMENT (including lithium ion polymer cells) Small cells excepted UN 3481 or 3552 Applies to: Lithium ion or sodium ion cells packed with equipment with a Watt-hour rating not exceeding 20 Wh/cell “Equipment” means apparatus requiring the lithium cells with which it is packed for its operation. UN No., Proper Shipping Name UN 3481, LITHIUM ION BATTERIES PACKED WITH EQUIPMENT UN 3552, SODIUM ION 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 966 section II Lithium ion cells should be offered for transport at a State of Charge (SoC) ≤ 30 % of their rated capacity PI 977 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 Drums, Jerricans, Boxes; 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 ion 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 ion 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 * UN 3481 or UN 3552 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 ion batteries in compliance with Section II of PI 966” or Sodium ion batteries in compliance with Section II of PI 977”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.
