14 Transport information
Transportations of cells or batteries packed with equipment or contained in equipment have to follow the appropriate regulations for UN 3481.
During the transportation of large amounts of batteries by ship, trailer or railway, do not store them in places of high temperature and do not allow
them to be exposed to condensation. During the transportation do not allow the packaging to be damaged, as a damage of the packaging may
cause fire. In the event packaging is damaged, special procedures must be used including inspection and repackaging if necessary and handle
with care.
Code of practice for packaging and shipment of secondary batteries given in IEC 62133: The packaging shall be adequate to avoid mechanical
damage during transport, handling and stacking. The materials and pack design shall be chosen so as to prevent the development of unintentional
electrical conduction, corrosion of the terminals and ingress of moisture.

Each cell or battery is manufactured under a quality management program according to IATA DGR clause 3.9.2.6, ADR clause 2.2.9.1.7 e), and
IMDG code clause 2.9.4.5.
15 Regulatory information
Marking consideration (EU)
According to Commission Regulation (EU) No 1103/2010 portable secondary (rechargeable) batteries and accumulators shall
be marked with a capacity marking, except those which are incorporated or designed to be incorporated in appliances before being provided to
end-users, and not intended to be removed.
Rechargeable Lithium ion batteries, which contain electronic modules (e.g. PCM) and which are subjected to the EMC directives 2004/108/EC or
2014/35/EU (as they are end-user replaceable devices), must undergo a EU conformity assessment and must wear the CE marking.
According to Dangerous Goods Regulations (see section 14) battery packs have to be marked with the Watt-hour rating.
Water hazard class
The regulations of the German Federal Water Management Act (WHG) are not applicable as VARTA portable flashlights are articles and not
substances, thus there is no risk of water pollution, except the batteries are violated or dismantled.
