SECTION 14 – TRANSPORT INFORMATION
In general, all batteries in all forms of transportation (ground, air, or ocean) must be packaged in a safe 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 zinc manganese dioxide batteries has
been designed to be compliant with these regulatory concerns.
Zinc manganese dioxide 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, 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.
Regulatory Body Special Provisions
ADR Not regulated
IMDG Not regulated
UN Not regulated
US DOT 49 CFR 172.102 Provision 130
IATA A123
ICAO Not regulated
All zinc manganese dioxide batteries are packed in such a way to prevent short circuits or the generation dangerous quantities of heat and
meet the special provisions listed above. In addition, the IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations and ICAO Technical Instructions require the
words “not restricted” and the Special Provision number A123 be provided on the air waybill, when an air waybill is issued.
