Prerequisite • For road transport, cells do not need to meet the General Requirements of §173.185(a) in particular the test requirements Specific Requirements • Each cell incorporates a safety venting device or is designed to preclude a violent rupture under normal conditions of carriage; • Each cell is equipped with an effective means of preventing external short circuits Transport mode Road Marine Air Passenger Aircraft Cargo Packing instructions 173.185(d) P909 Forbidden Forbidden • Cells must be protected against short circuit, including protection against contact with conductive materials within the same packaging which could cause a short circuit. • Cells must be packed so that are protected against damage caused by the movement or placement of the cells within the packaging • lithium ion cells must be placed in inner packagings that completely enclose the cell, then placed in an outer packaging. • Use only approved packaging conforming to Packing Group II performance level. Packagings UN Packaging not required, strong outer packaging is authorized Drums (1A2, 1B2, 1N2, 1H2, 1D, 1G); Boxes (4A, 4B, 4N, 4C1, 4C2, 4D, 4F, 4G, 4H1, 4H2) Jerricans (3A2, 3B2, 3H2). Cells ≥ 12 kg (gross) with a strong, impact resistant outer casing Not required UN approved packagings for cells, or assemblies of such cells, when packed in strong outer packagings or protective enclosures (e.g., fully enclosed or wooden slatted crates) Allowed transport on Pallets or other handling devices. Cells must be secured to prevent inadvertent movement, and the terminals must not support the weight of other superimposed elements Large Packaging 173.185(b)(6) LP903 Rigid Large packagings, conforming to the packing group II performance level, are authorized for a single battery.: • steel (50A); • aluminium (50B); metal other than steel or aluminium (50N); • rigid plastics (50H); • natural wood (50C); • plywood (50D); • reconstituted wood (50F); • rigid fibreboard (50G).
