Requirements for lithium battery ocean transportation

Time:Jul 27, 2023 Views:517


1. The battery must pass the UN 38.3 test requirements and undergo a 1.2 meter drop packaging test.

2. The outer packaging must be labeled with a Class 9 hazardous material label, indicating the UN number

3. Its design ensures the prevention of bursting under normal transportation conditions and is equipped with effective measures to prevent external short circuits.

4. Durable outer packaging, the battery should be protected to prevent short circuits, and within the same packaging, contact with conductive substances that can cause short circuits must be prevented.

5. Additional requirements for battery installation and transportation in equipment:


a. The equipment should be fixed to prevent movement within the packaging, and the packaging method should prevent accidental start-up during transportation.

b. The outer packaging should be waterproof or achieved by using an inner lining (such as a plastic bag), unless the equipment itself has waterproof characteristics.

6. Lithium batteries should be loaded on pallets to avoid strong vibrations during transportation. Corner protectors should be used to protect the vertical and horizontal edges of the pallets.

7. The lithium battery loading container must be reinforced, and the reinforcement method and strength should meet the requirements of the importing country (for example, there are relevant regulations in the United States, such as the American Railway Association<ARR>, the American Dangerous Goods Association, the North American Explosives Administration<B.O.E>, the Federal Motor Transport Safety Administration, the United States Coast Guard, the United States Department of Transportation and the Maritime Dangerous Goods Transportation Rules). If the shipper is negligent or improperly reinforced, the container will be detained at the port of destination, And there will be high costs such as terminal operation fees, storage fees, container relocation fees, and reinforcement fees.

8. For exports to North America, Class 9 hazardous material labels must be affixed at the designated locations around the container
