Lithium Manganese Battery – Bobbin type 1/13/2010 4/5
FDK ENERGY CO.,LTD.
14. Transportation precautions
・ Depend on the UN Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods (hereinafter referred to
as the “UN Recommendations”), Lithium metal battery shall comply with these recommendations.
On the other hand, certain regulations of transportation laid down by organization of each
transportation and each own country’s regulation for transportation are occasionally different from
UN Recommendations, however Lithium metal battery shall comply with these regulations too.
Furthermore, such batteries as contained in or packed with equipment shall also comply with UN
Recommendations and regulations.
・ Lithium metal battery is classified in two types; Dangerous goods (Class 9) and No dangerous
goods (exemption from regulation) depend on content of Lithium or Lithium alloy, and each
treatment is different. Such battery containing Lithium or Lithium alloy is less than 1 g (Battery
pack: 2 g) is regarded as No dangerous battery, therefore this battery is classified to No dangerous
goods and Special provision 188 is applied.
