Transport and Packaging Instructions

When intended for transport, several batteries technologies are regulated as Dangerous Goods by the United Nations Transport Organisation and other national transport authorities. This regulation is being permanently adapted to take into consideration the evolution of the technologies.

Batteries benefit of a growing market and multiple new usages and applications are constantly proposed to the end users.

Battery technology innovation and development helps an increasing number of technicians and engineers to design new equipment powered by autonomous sources of energy such as batteries

The necessity for an increasing number of economic actors to respect the UN Dangerous Goods Regulation requires modern communication tools to inform the shippers of batteries about their duties and responsibilities when offering them for transport.

The aim of this APP is to offer a simple and visual means to access the UN Regulation via a modern multimedia communication tool.

The App contains two ebook: a first manual covering the Lithium ion and Lithium metal batteries, and a second manual covering the Lead-acid, Nickel Cadmium, Nickel Metal Hydride and Sodium-Nickel chloride batteries.

The regulation is presented in a summarized format covering ground, air and maritime transportation modes. ln a page opposite the various regulations, the packaging and labelling instructions are illustrated to facilitate the implementation of the trans port regulation as well as the packaging and labelling requirements by the shipper of batteries.
