Appendix 6 Transportation Restrictions for Lithium Batteries

Appendix 6-1 Restriction for packing

The United Nations Dangerous Goods Regulations "Article 12" became effective from 2003. When
transporting lithium batteries with means subject to the UN Regulations, such as by air transport,
measures corresponding to the Regulations must be taken. The UN Regulations classify the batteries as
dangerous goods (Class 9) or not dangerous goods according to the lithium content.
To ensure safety during transportation, lithium batteries (battery unit) directly exported from Mitsubishi
are packaged in a dedicated container (UN package) for which safety has been confirmed. When the
customer is transporting these products with means subject to the UN Regulations, such as air transport,
the shipper must follow the details explained in the section "Appendix 6-1-2 Handling by user".

Appendix 6-1-1 Target products

The following Mitsubishi NC products use lithium batteries. The UN Regulations classify the batteries as
dangerous goods (Class 9) or not dangerous goods according to the lithium content. If the batteries
subjected to hazardous materials are incorporated in a device and shipped, a dedicated packaging (UN
packaging) is not required. However, the item must be packed and shipped following the Packing
Instruction 912 specified in the IATA DGR (Dangerous Goods Regulation) book.
Also, all lithium battery products incorporated in a machinery or device must be fixed securely in
accordance with the Packing Instruction 900 and shipped with protection in a way as to prevent damage
or short-circuits.

(Note 1) When CR23500SE-CJ5 is incorporated in the unit, this battery is not subject to the regulation.
(Note 2) Dedicated packaging is required if the shipment exceeds 12 batteries/24 battery cells. Package the batteries so that this
limit is not exceeded.
(Note 3) The battery units labeled as "FCUA-" instead of "MDS-A-" also use the same battery.
(Note 4) Always use the cell battery (MR-BAT) in combination with the dedicated case (MDS-BTCASE). Maximum 8 (either 2, 4, 6
or 8) cell batteries can be installed to the dedicated case (MDS-BTCASE).
