Appendix 3. Transportation Restrictions for Lithium Batteries
Appendix 3.1 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 metal 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 "Transportation Restrictions for Lithium
Batteries: Handling by User".
