Section XV – Transportation Information
All GP lithium ion cells comply with the necessary testing requirements under the UN Manual of Tests and Criteria
ST/SG/AC.10/11/Rev. 4, Section 38.3 as referenced in the following transportation regulations:
1. UN Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods Model Regulations
2. U.S. Department of Transportation Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR),
3. International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) Technical Instructions,
4. International Air Transport Association (IATA) Dangerous Goods Regulations, and
5. International Maritime Dangerous Goods (IMDG) Code.
GP Cells are exempted from these regulations since they meet all UN Testing requirements and not exceed 20Wh (See 49
CFR 173.185 of the U.S. HMR, Guidance on the Transport of Lithium Batteries of 2009-2010 edition of the ICAO Technical
Instructions and co
nsequently the 51th edition of the DGR and IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations, and Special Provision 188
of the IMDG Code and UN Model Regulations.)
GP Cells contain less than 20Wh (Actual value of each model showed in page 5)
The Watt hour (Wh) Calculation:
Under the2009-2010 edition of the ICAO Technical Instructions and consequently the 50th edition of the DGR, the unit Wh is
equal to rated capacity (Ah) x nominal voltage (V)
Cells should be packaged in accordance with these transportation regulations (the cell comply to IATA Packing Instruction 965
Section II). It is especially important to ensure that cells are packed in such a way to prevent short circuits.
Non-dangerous goods.
** The commodity is met the UN manual of Tests and Criteria, Part III, Sub-section 38.3 **
Section XVI – Regulatory Information
