Section 14 – Transportation Information
In general, all batteries in all forms of transportation (ground, air, or ocean) must be packaged in a saf
e and responsible manner.
Regulatory concerns from all agencies for safe packaging require that batteries be packaged in a manner that prevents short
circuits and be contained in “strong outer packaging” that prevents spillage of contents. All original packaging for GP alkaline
batteries has been designed to be compliant with these regulatory concerns.
Alkaline batteries (sometimes referred to as “Dry cell” batteries) are not listed as dangerous goods under the ADR European
Agreement Concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road, the IMDG International Maritime Dangerous
Goods Code, UN Dangerous Good Regulations, IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations 57th edition , ICAO Technical
Instructions and the U.S. hazardous materials regulations (49 CFR). These batteries are not subject to the dangerous goods
regulations provided they meet the requirements contained in the following special provisions
.
