14. Transport Information
Ni-Mh Rechargeable Battery are considered to be “dry cell” batteries and are unregulated for purposes of
transportation by the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT), International Civic Aviation Administration (ICAO),
International Air Transport Association (IATA), the International Maritime Organization (IMO), the “Accord Européen
Relatif au Transport International des Marchandises Dangereuses par Route” (ADR) ) and the “Règlement concernant
le transport international ferroviaire de marchandises Dangereuses” (RID). IATA DGR: Special Provision A123:
“Examples of such batteries are: alkali-manganese, zinc-carbon, nickel-metal hydride and nickel-cadmium batteries.
Any electrical battery ... having the potential of a dangerous evolution of heat must be prepared for transport as to
prevent (a) a short-circuit (e.g. in the case of batteries, by the effective insulation of exposed terminals...) is forbidden
from transport; and (b) accidental activation. The words “Not Restricted” and the Special Provision number must be
included in the description of the substance on the Air Waybill as required by 8.2.6, when an Air Waybill is issued.” In
addition in the 56th edition Special Provision A199 is a new special provision assigned against the entry for Batteries,
nickel-metal hydride. The special provision identifies that UN 3496 only applies in sea transport and that provided that
nickel-metal hydride batteries are prepared in accordance with the special provision they are “not restricted” in air
transport. IMO, IMDG Code: Special Provision 963: “Nickel-metal hydride button cells or nickel-metal hydride cells or
batteries packed with or contained in equipment are not subject to the provisions of this Code.” EU (ADR/RID):
Chapter 3.2 Table A: “Batteries, nickel-metal hydride, UN 3496, not subject to ADR” USA: 49 CFR § 172.102 Special
Provisions 130 and 340: Nickel metal hydride button cells/batteries are not subject to requirements of this subchapter
except for the following ...“Batteries and battery-powered device(s) containing batteries must be prepared and
packaged for transport in a manner to prevent: (1) A dangerous evolution of heat; (2) Short circuits, including but not
limited to the following methods: (i) Packaging each battery or each battery-powered device when practicable, in fully
enclosed inner packagings made of non-conductive material; (ii) Separating or packaging batteries in a manner to
prevent contact with other batteries, devices or conductive materials ( e.g., metal) in the packagings”.
Transport fashion: By air, by sea, by rail, by high-way.
