Prerequisite • Cells must meet the General Requirements of § 1.3 in particular the test requirements Specific Requirements • Each cell incorporates a safety venting device or is designed to preclude a violent rupture under normal conditions of carriage; • Each cell is equipped with an effective means of preventing external short circuits • “Equipment” means apparatus requiring the lithium batteries with which it is packed for its operation. Transport mode ADR IMDG IATA Passenger Aircraft Cargo Packing instructions P903 P903 PI 969 section I Cells must be protected against short circuit, including protection against contact with conductive materials within the same packaging that could lead to a short circuit. Two possible solution, lithium metal cells must: • be completely enclosed in inner packagings, then placed in a UN packaging of the type shown below that meets the Packing Group II performance standards, then placed with equipment in a strong, rigid outer packaging; or • be placed in inner packagings that completely enclose the cells, then placed with equipment in a packaging that meets the Packing Group II performance standards of a type shown below. The equipment must be secured against movement within the outer packaging. Cells must be packed: - in a rigid metal intermediate or - in a metal outer packaging Cells must be surrounded by non-combustible and non- conductive cushioning material before being placed in the metal intermediate or metal outer packaging Packages not conforming to “Passenger Aircraft” requirements must be transported as “Cargo Aircraft Only” Packagings Drums (1A2, 1B2, 1N2, 1H2, 1D, 1G); Boxes (4A, 4B, 4N, 4C1, 4C2, 4D, 4F, 4G, 4H1, 4H2) Jerricans (3A2, 3B2, 3H2).
