Appendix 7. Transportation Restrictions for Lithium Batteries
7.1 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 7.1.2 Handling by User".
