[Test methods and requirements
In accordance with the dangerous goods regulations for lithium batteries, each new type of cell or battery
must have passed all tests listed in the UN Manual of Tests and Criteria, Part III, Section 38.3. This
particularly applies also if multiple cells or batteries have been assembled into new batteries (battery
packs or battery assemblies). Therefore, we hereby confirm that batteries and cells as distributed by the
Robert Bosch Power Tools GmbH have passed the respective tests.
These requirements also apply to used batteries. Used batteries that are intact and undamaged can
usually be transported under the regulations for unused batteries]
Defective or damaged batteries are subject to more stringent regulations. These regulations may
prohibit the transport completely. A general ban applies to air transport (IATA DGR - special provision
A154).
For transport of used - but not damaged - batteries please refer to the respective special provisions.
