(iii) an indication that special procedures shall be followed in the event the

package is damaged, to include inspection and repacking if necessary; and

(iv) a telephone number for additional information;

(h) Except when batteries are installed in equipment, each package shall be capable

of withstanding a 1.2 m drop test in any orientation without damage to cells or

batteries contained therein, without shifting of the contents so as to allow battery

to battery (or cell to cell) contact and without release of contents; and

(i) Except when batteries are installed in or packed with equipment, packages shall

not exceed 30 kg gross mass.

As used above and elsewhere in ADN, "lithium content" means the mass of lithium in

the anode of a lithium metal or lithium alloy cell.

Separate entries exist for lithium metal batteries and lithium ion batteries to facilitate

the carriage of these batteries for specific modes of carriage and to enable the

application of different emergency response actions.

190 Aerosol dispensers shall be provided with protection against inadvertent discharge.

Aerosols with a capacity not exceeding 50 ml containing only non-toxic constituents

are not subject to the requirements of ADN.

191 Receptacles, small, with a capacity not exceeding 50 ml, containing only non-toxic

constituents are not subject to the requirements of ADN.

193 This entry may only be used for uniform ammonium nitrate based fertilizer mixtures

of the nitrogen, phosphate or potash type, containing not more than 70% ammonium

nitrate and not more than 0.4% total combustible/organic material calculated as carbon

or with not more than 45% ammonium nitrate and unrestricted combustible material.

Fertilizers within these composition limits are not subject to the requirements of ADN

if shown by a Trough Test (see Manual of Tests and Criteria, Part III, sub-section

38.2) not to be liable to self-sustaining decomposition.

194 The control and emergency temperatures, if any, and the UN number (generic entry)

for each of the currently assigned self-reactive substances are given in 2.2.41.4.

196 Formulations which in laboratory testing neither detonate in the cavitated state nor

deflagrate, which show no effect when heated under confinement and which exhibit

no explosive power may be carried under this entry. The formulation must also be

thermally stable (i.e. the SADT is 60 °C or higher for a 50 kg package). Formulations

not meeting these criteria shall be carried under the provisions of Class 5.2,

(see 2.2.52.4).

198 Nitrocellulose solutions containing not more than 20 % nitrocellulose may be carried

as paint or printing ink, as applicable (see UN Nos. 1210, 1263, 3066, 3469 and 3470).

199 Lead compounds which, when mixed in a ratio of 1:1000 with 0.07M hydrochloric

acid and stirred for one hour at a temperature of 23 °C ± 2 °C, exhibit a solubility

of 5 % or less (see ISO 3711:1990 “Lead chromate pigments and lead chromate-

molybdate pigments – Specifications and methods of test") are considered insoluble

and are not subject to the requirements of ADN unless they meet the criteria for

inclusion in another class.
