14. Transport Information
Road (ADR/RID): Not regulated
Air (ICAO/IATA):
IATA DGR（58
th
）: 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 o f 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.”
Sea (IMDG):
IMDG CODE:Special Provision 304 which says: “Batteries, dry, c ontaining corrosive electrolyte which will
not flow out of the battery if the battery case is cracked are not subject to the provisions of this Code
provided the batteries are securely packed and protected against short-circuits. Examples of s uch batteries
are: alkaline-manganese, zinc-carbon, nickel metal hydride and nickel-cadmium batteries”
These batteries are not regulated by international agencies as hazardous materials or dangerous goods
when shipped. A shipping name of “Alkaline Batteries – Non-hazardous” may be used on all d omestic and
international bills o f lading.
