Organizations governing the transport of lithium batteries are as follows:
Area Method Organization Packing lnstruction or Special Provision
International Air IATA, ICAO Pl965: Lithium ion button Batteries (lncluding lithium ion polymer
batteries)
Pl966: Lithium ion button Batteries packed with equipment
(lncluding lithium ion polymer batteries)
Pl967: Lithium ion button Batteries contained in equipment
(lncluding lithium ion polymer batteries)
International Maritime IMO SP188
USA Air, Rail, Road, Maritime DOT DOT 49 CFR Section 173.185
Their regulations are based on the UN Recommendations. The UN Recommendations require that lithium ion cells and
batteries shall be manufactured under a quality management program and this requirement is adopted by IMDG Code and
ICAO Tl/IATA DGR.
Each packing instruction or special provision provides specifications on exceptions and packaging for lithium ion cells and
batteries.
1) Air transportation: In IATA DGR (58th edition), the packing requirements for lithium ion cells and batteries transport is
specified in PI 965, for lithium ion cells and batteries packed with equipment in PI 966, and for lithium ion cells and batteries
contained in equipment in PI 967. The coin type lithium ion cell can be transported according to Section II (Exemption from
Class 9 Dangerous Goods) of PI 965.
Lithium ion cells and batteries, UN 3480, Packaging lnstruction 965 only, are forbidden for carriage as cargo on passenger
aircraft.
UN 3480, PI 965, Section IA and 18. Lithium ion cells and batteries must be offered for transport at a state of charge (SoC) not
exceeding 30% of their rated design capacity. Cells and/or batteries at a SoC of greater than 30% may only be shipped with
the approval of the State of Origin and the State of the Operator under the written conditions established by those authorities.
UN 3480, PI 965, Section II. Lithium ion cells and batteries must be offered for transport at a state of charge (SoC) not
exceeding 30% of their rated design capacity.
2) Maritime transportation: The coin type lithium ion cell can be transported as "Exemption from Class 9 Dangerous Goods"
according to SP 188 of IMDG Code.
As the related district, country or airline may establish their special requirements, the shipper shall confirm them with the
