us锂电池运输标签要求英文回答：Lithium Battery Transportation Labeling Requirements.The transportation of lithium batteries is subject to a number of regulations, both domestic and international. These regulations are designed to ensure the safe transportation of lithium batteries and to prevent firesand explosions.In the United States, the Department of Transportation (DOT) regulates the transportation of lithium batteries.The DOT's regulations are contained in 49 CFR Parts 171-180.The DOT's regulations require that lithium batteries be labeled with the following information:The UN number for lithium batteries: UN 3480 or UN 3090。
The proper shipping name: Lithium batteries or Lithium batteries packed with equipment.The hazard class: Class 9。
The packing group: Group I, II, or III.The net weight of the lithium batteries in kilograms.The name of the shipper and the consignee.The address of the shipper and the consignee.The telephone number of the shipper and the consignee.The emergency response telephone number.The date of shipment.The total number of packages.In addition to the DOT's regulations, there are a number of other international regulations that apply to the transportation of lithium batteries. These regulations include the International Air Transport Association (IATA) Dangerous Goods Regulations and the International Maritime Dangerous Goods (IMDG) Code.The IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations and the IMDG Code contain similar requirements to the DOT's regulations. However, there are some minor differences between the regulations. For example, the IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations require that lithium batteries be labeled with a lithium battery mark. The IMDG Code does not require a lithium battery mark.It is important to be aware of the different regulations that apply to the transportation of lithium batteries. Failure to comply with these regulations can result in fines and other penalties.中文回答：美国锂电池运输标签要求。

Protect terminals from foreign objects and freight to avoid conductivity.Sample Packaging:Multiple Lithium BatteriesNon-Conductive DividerSturdy Outer Container7Lithium Batteries:• UN3090 lithium batteries,rechargeable and nonrechargeable.Regulations.The regulations pertaining to transporting lithium cells and batteries have changed significantly. Testing and transportation requirements are found in Title 49CFR 173.185and the UN Manual of Tests and Criteria. The U.S. Department of Transportation Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (DOT PHMSA), recently implemented a prohibition of primary (nonrechargeable) lithium batteries on passenger-carrying aircraft. The prohibition, which became effective on Dec. 29, 2004, was enacted based on research from incidents involving the transport of lithium batteries.While the law does not prohibit primary lithium batteries on cargo aircraft, FedEx Express has implemented additional packaging requirements on primary lithium batteries as outlined below. This policy applies to:• Lithium batteries and cells shipped fully marked, labeled and certified in accordance with the International Air Transport Association (IATA) dangerous-goods regulations.• Lithium batteries and cells shipped under "Competent Authority" granted by any national authority.• Lithium batteries and cells previously excepted from other regulatory requirements in the IATA dangerous-good regulations Special Provision A45.Packaging Requirements for Primary Lithium Batteries:• Primary lithium batteries and cells must be individually packaged in fully enclosed inner packaging consisting of plastic blister wrap, pasteboard or other fully enclosed packaging that will protect each battery and cell from making contact with another lithium battery or cell, or any item that is capable of conducting electricity, in order to prevent short-circuiting. Please note: Multiple batteries enclosed in a single form-fitting "retail ready" blister pack are acceptable.• Shippers are required to contact FedEx Express Dangerous Goods Administration and certify that they comply with this lithium battery and cell standard.• We will accept shipments of primary lithium batteries and cells offered as "excepted" or nonregulated per the IATAdangerous-goods regulations with preapproval from FedExWet Batteries:• UN2794 batteries wet filled withacid, electric storage.• UN2795 batteries wet filled with alkali, electric storage.Packaging Requirements:Outer packaging must be UN Specification Packaging, as pictured in Fig. 1 on page 2. These containers must incorporate an acid/alkali leak-proof liner adequately sealed to prevent leakage in the event of a spill.Securely fasten the batteries with the fill openings and vents facing upward. This will prevent short-circuiting.Check the orientation labels on the outside of the packaging to determine the upright position: the words “This End Up”or “This Side Up” may be displayed on top of the package.Packaging Requirements:Securely pack in strong outer packaging. Be sure to protect against short-circuiting by positioning batteries side-by-side.ContainerFig. 2Fig. 1UN SPECIFICATION PACKAGINGAll metal containers must incorporate an acid/alkali leak-proof liner adequately sealed to prevent leakage in the event of a spill.234Express Dangerous Goods Administration. Contact FedEx Express Dangerous Goods Administration or your FedEx account executive for complete details and procedures.• FedEx Express Dangerous Goods Administration will maintain an internal list of approved shippers. Shippers cannot continue to ship primary lithium batteries unless they are on the approved shipper list. Contact FedEx Express Dangerous Goods Administration or your FedEx account executive for details on how to be placed on the list.• The above requirements are in addition to the IATA dangerous-goods regulations and any other packaging or shipping requirements.For more information and procedures on shipping primary lithium batteries, see Lithium Batteries UN 3090 Under IATA Special Provision A45 or Lithium Batteries UN 3090Nonspillable Batteries:In accordance with 49CFR 173.159 and USG-11, anonspillable wet electric storage battery may be regarded as not subject to the Regulations if the battery and its outer packaging are plainly and durably marked ”NONSPILLABLE“ or”NONSPILLABLE BATTERY“ and the battery meets the conditions for being regarded as not subject to the Regulations as prescribed in SpecialProvision A67 (No shipper’s declaration required).Transporting Batteries by Air.At FedEx,we understand the importance of ensuring the safe transport of batteries throughout our system.Charged batteries may short-circuit and cause a fire and some batteries contain corrosive liquid.Therefore, if proper packaging requirements are not met, these shipments may cause a variety of problems during transport.

Transport of Lithium Batteries in Accordance withthe ICAO Technical InstructionsGuidance DocumentForewordThe 2009-2010 ICAO Technical Instructions for the Safe Transport of Dangerous Goods by Air incorporated a number of revisions to requirements for the transport of lithium batteries. Revisions included:• Development of new Packing Instructions 965, 966, 967, 968, 969 and 970 to more clearly state requirements for the various types of lithium batteries.• Incorporation of the requirements formerly in Special Provision A45 within the new packing instructions.• Application of a new lithium battery handling label for certain lithium batteries.• Enhanced packaging and revised quantity limits for lithium batteries as shown in Table 3-1 and in the new Packing Instructions.This guidance is intended to address commonly asked questions regarding these provisions. In an effort to continually improve this guidance, comments or additional questions are welcome and will be used to update the guidance periodically. Comments may be submitted at:www.icao.int/anb/FLS/DangerousGoods/ICAOLithiumBatteryGuidance.The guidance is divided into several parts as follows:Part 1 – Questions Related to DefinitionsPart 2 – Questions Related to Transport ProvisionsPart 3 – Questions Related to Design Type Testing ProvisionsPart 4 – Questions Related to State and Operator VariationsThis guidance addresses only the baseline provisions of the ICAO Technical Instructions. The ICAO Technical Instructions also contain State and Operator variations which should be consulted to determine any additional requirements imposed by a particular State or Operator (see Attachment 3 of the ICAO Technical Instructions – “Notified Variations from the Instructions”).Part 1 – Questions Related to DefinitionsA. What are the various types of lithium batteries?Lithium batteries fall into two broad classifications; lithium metal batteries and lithium ion batteries. Lithium metal batteries are generally non-rechargeable and contain metallic lithium. Lithium ion batteries do not contain metallic lithium and are rechargeable.B. What are lithium polymer batteries?A lithium polymer battery is a type of lithium ion battery. Generally, the main difference is lithium ion polymer batteries contain a polymer electrolyte.C. What is the difference between a lithium cell and a lithium battery?A lithium cell is a single encased electrochemical unit consisting of one positive and one negative electrode that exhibits a voltage differential across the two terminals. A lithium battery is one or more cells electrically connected. A single cell battery is considered a cell and not a battery.D. How are component cells connected to form a battery?Cells in batteries may be connected in parallel, in series, or in a combination of the two. When cells are connected in series the voltage of the battery increases but the capacity in ampere-hours (Ah) does not change. By contrast, when cells are connected in parallel the capacity in ampere-hours of the battery (Ah) increases but the voltage stays the same.E. How do I determine the watt hour rating for a particular lithium ion battery?The watt hour (Wh) rating is a measure by which lithium ion batteries are regulated. Lithium ion batteries manufactured after 1 January 2009 are required to be marked with the watt hour rating.You can also arrive at the number of watt-hours your battery provides if you know the battery’s nominal voltage (V) and capacity in ampere-hours (Ah):Ah x V = WhThis information is often marked on the battery.Note that if only the milli-ampere-hours (mAh) are marked on the battery then divide that number by 1000 to get ampere-hours (Ah) (i.e., 4400 mAh / 1000 = 4.4. Ah).Most lithium ion batteries marketed to consumers are below 100 watt-hours. If you are unsure of the watt-hour rating of your lithium ion battery, contact the manufacturer.Part 2 – Questions related to Packaging and Transport ProvisionsA. How do I safely package lithium batteries for transport?One of the major risks associated with the transport of batteries and battery-powered equipment is short-circuit of the battery as a result of the battery terminals coming into contact with other batteries, metal objects, or conductive surfaces. Packaged batteries or cells must be separated in a way to prevent short circuits and damage to terminals. They must be packed in a strong outer packaging or be contained in equipment. Sample packaging meeting these requirements is shown below:B. How can batteries be effectively protected against short circuit?Methods to protect against short circuit include, but are not limited to, the following methods:a) Packing each battery or each battery-powered device when practicable, in fullyenclosed inner packagings made of non-conductive material (such as a plastic bag);b) Separating or packing batteries in a manner to prevent contact with otherbatteries, devices or conductive materials (e.g., metal) in the packagings; andc) Ensuring exposed terminals or connectors are protected with non-conductive caps,non-conductive tape, or by other appropriate means.If not impact resistant, the outer packaging should not be used as the sole means of protecting the battery terminals from damage or short circuiting. Batteries should besecurely cushioned and packed to prevent shifting which could loosen terminal caps or reorient the terminals to produce short circuits.Terminal protection methods include but are not limited to the following:a) Securely attaching covers of sufficient strength to protect the terminals;b) Packaging the battery in a rigid plastic packaging; andc) Constructing the battery with terminals that are recessed or otherwise protected sothat the terminals will not be subjected to damage if the package is dropped.C. What does the new lithium battery handling label look like and when is itrequired?The new lithium battery handling label is required as specified in the additional requirements of Section II of packing instructions 965, 966, 967, 968, 969 and 970. The new label is as shown in Figure 5-31 of Part 5 of the ICAO Technical Instructions. The border of the label must have red diagonal hatchings with text and symbols in black on a contrasting background. The lithium battery handling label may be printed directly on the outer packaging provided that there is sufficient contrast between the elements of the lithium battery label and the colour of the packaging material.110 mm* Place for “Lithium ion battery” and/or “Lithium metal battery”D. When is a lithium battery handling label not required?A lithium battery handling label is not required for packages prepared in accordance with Section I of Packing Instructions 965-970 (i.e. bearing a Class 9 label) or when a package contains no more than 4 cells or 2 batteries installed in equipment prepared in accordance with Section II of Packing Instructions 967 and 970. This applies to UN 3481 Lithium ion batteries contained in equipment (See Section II of Packing Instruction 967) and UN3091 Lithium metal batteries contained in equipment (see section II of Packing Instruction 970). As these packages do not require a lithium battery handling label, the accompanying document mentioned in the Additional Packing Requirements of Section II of Packing Instructions 967 and 970 are not required.E. Is there a requirement for the Lithium Battery Handing Label to be available inlanguages other than English?English is generally the standard language accepted in international aviation. However, the State of Origin where offering the package for shipment may require their official language. Part 5;2.5 of the ICAO TI specifies that in addition to the languages which may be required by the State of Origin, English should be used.F. For the purposes of the lithium battery packing instructions, what is consideredthe "package"?The package is the complete product of the packing operation that satisfies the requirement of the packing instruction. The package may contain multiple batteries or pieces of equipment provided the limitations set out in the Packing Instruction are not exceeded. The package must be marked and labelled as required by the Packing Instruction. A single package may be offered for transport, or one or more packages may then be placed into an overpack for ease of handling or transport purposes. When an overpack is used, the package markings and labels must be duplicated on the overpack unless the markings and labels required on individual packages are visible, or are not required by the Packing Instruction (i.e. less than 4 cells or 2 batteries when contained in equipment).G. Please explain the documentation requirements for consignments of lithiumbatteries.Each consignment of packages with lithium batteries that is required to have the lithium battery handling label must be accompanied by a document such as an airway bill or other document that indicates:• The package contains lithium ion cells or batteries;• The package must be handled with care and that a flammability hazard exists if the package is damaged;• Special procedures should be followed in the event the package is damaged, to include inspection and repacking if necessary; and• A telephone number for additional information.This document may be in any form provided it contains all the appropriate information and accompanies the consignment. For example, the document may be provided separately to the carrier or in a pouch attached to the package.H. Does ICAO require an MSDS containing the UN test data?No. ICAO does not require the use of MSDS and test data is not part of the required documentation requirements when offering lithium batteries for transport.I. Section II in Packing Instructions 967 and 970 states that "Each packagecontaining more than four cells or more than two batteries installed in equipment must be labelled with a lithium battery handling label." What is the intent of this provision?This provision authorizes packages with equipment containing no more than 2 batteries or 4 cells to be offered for transport without the lithium battery handling label. For example, a package containing a notebook computer may have 1 lithium ion battery and 2 small lithium metal coin cells installed in the product. This single package does not require the lithium battery handling label. The number of cells contained inside the lithium ion battery are NOT counted towards the 4 cell limitation because it is the battery installed in the equipment being presented for transport. In addition, multiple packages each containing no more than 2 batteries or 4 cells may be overpacked and neither the individual packages nor the overpack would require the label.J. I have an MP3 player that contains one single-cell lithium ion battery pack. Do I have to label the shipping box that contains each MP3 player? What if I place five MP3 players in a shipping box? Does this require a label?For packages of single MP3 players, no lithium battery label would be required since you can place up to 4 of these single-cell batteries in a box without labelling the outer box. In the case where 5 MP3 players are in a shipping package, a lithium battery label on the outer shipping package would be required.K. Under Packing Instructions 966 and 969, it states that “The maximum number of batteries in each package must be the minimum number required to power the equipment, plus two spares”. If a package contains 4 power tools (each tool contains a lithium ion battery), can 2 extra lithium ion batteries be placed in the package for each piece of equipment for a total of 8 batteries?Yes. The 8 batteries reflect two spares for each of the 4 power tools in the outer package. L. Can a single label be used to identify that both lithium metal and lithium ion batteries are contained inside the package?Yes. A single label identifying both lithium ion and lithium metal batteries may be used.M. May lithium battery packages be placed in an overpack in accordance with the new ICAO Technical Instructions?Yes. The overpack may also contain packages of dangerous goods or goods not subject to these Instructions provided there are no packages enclosing different substances which might react dangerously with each other. An overpack must be labelled with the lithium battery label (Figure 5-31) of the ICAO Technical Instructions unless the label(s) on the package(s) inside the overpack are visible. In addition, the word “overpack” must be marked on overpacks containing packages transported in accordance with Section I of the applicable Packing Instructions (i.e. bearing Class 9 labels).N. Do the quantity limits shown in the ICAO packing instructions apply to overpacks containing lithium batteries?The quantity limits shown in packing instructions 965 and 968, refer to the package. Provided each package remains under the limit specified in the packing instruction, the overpack may exceed the specified limits.O. Packing Instructions 966 and 969 Section II include a requirement for a 1.2 meter drop test. What portion or portions of the package are subject to this test? The completed package containing batteries as prepared for transport in accordance with the relevant packing instruction must be capable of withstanding the 1.2 meter drop test. This could apply to a package solely containing batteries that is packaged in full compliance with the provisions of the packing instruction (to include the 1.2 meter drop test capability requirement) and is then overpacked with equipment and offered for transport (see item 2M for additional information related to overpacks). Or, it could apply to a package that includes batteries properly packed in inner packaging and equipment or other non-dangerous goods that are placed in a single outer packaging. The package that includes both the inner packaging containing batteries and the equipment must comply with the packing instruction to include meeting the capability to pass the 1.2 meter drop test.P. How do I transport prototype lithium cells and batteries that have not been UN Tested?Prototype lithium batteries may be transported by cargo aircraft if you do the following:1.Obtain approval by the competent authority of the origin country prior totransport;2.Place no more than 12 batteries or 24 cells in a package;3.Protect the cells and batteries from short circuiting;4.Pack each of the cells or batteries in an inner packaging inside an outer packagingthat completely surrounds the cells and batteries. All packaging and cushioning material must be non-conductive and non-combustible5.Place the cells and batteries in an outer drum or box made of metal, plastic orplywood that meets Packing Group I performance requirements.Q. Can I ship recalled, damaged or non-conforming cells or batteries?Lithium batteries, identified by the manufacturer as being defective for safety reasons, orthat have been damaged, that have the potential of producing a dangerous evolution of heat, fire or short circuit are forbidden for transport (e.g. those being returned to the manufacturer for safety reasons). The U.S. DOT has developed guidance for consumersand manufacturers for shipping recalled batteries. /Battery_Recall_Guidance.pdfBatteries which have some other defective feature (e.g., LEDs not showing charge, incorrect model number on label, or batteries not holding enough charge) could still be shipped by air. Also, laptops being returned may not have a defective battery, it may notmeet the needs of the customer, may be defective itself (but not the battery), etc. In these situations air transport would be permitted. The battery or equipment manufacturer should be contacted to determine the appropriate shipping method.R. What are the requirements for the telephone number on the lithium battery handling label?The telephone number should be of a person knowledgeable about the shipment but is not intended to be for the purposes of obtaining immediate emergency response guidance,and is therefore not required to be monitored at all times that the package is in transit. Itis acceptable for the number to be monitored during the company’s normal business hours in order to provide product-specific information relative to the shipment. However,it also is acceptable to use an emergency response, 24-hour phone number on the label.S. How do I protect against “inadvertant activation”?When batteries are contained in equipment, the equipment should be packaged in a manner that prevents unintentional activation or should have an independent means of preventing unintentional activation (e.g., packaging restricts access to activation switch, switch caps or locks, recessed switches, trigger locks, temperature sensitive circuit breakers, etc.). This requirement does not apply to devices which are intentionally activein transport (RFID transmitters, watches, sensors etc.) and which are not capable of generating a quantity of heat sufficient to be dangerous to packaging or personal safety.Part 3 – Questions Related to Design Type Testing ProvisionsA. Where can I find requirements related to testing of battery design types?The UN Manual of Tests and Criteria sets out specific tests that must be conducted oneach lithium cell or battery design type. Each test is intended to either simulate a common transportation occurrence such as vibration or changes in altitude or to test the integrity ofa cell or battery. You may obtain a copy of these testing requirements via the following website: /trans/danger/publi/manual/manual_e.html.B. What constitutes a design change requiring renewed design type testing?A cell or battery that differs from a tested design by more than 0.1 grams or 20 % to the anode, cathode or electrolyte is considered to be a design change. A change that would materially affect the test results is also a design change.Examples of design changes may include the use of a different type of cathode materialor a change in the battery’s geometry.Part 4 – Questions Related to State and Operator VariationsA. What additional requirements are imposed by US Variation 2?The United States restricts the transport of certain primary (non-rechargeable) lithium metal batteries, both packaged batteries and those packed with our contained in equipment, from transport on passenger carrying aircraft. In accordance with US Variation 2, primary (non-rechargeable) lithium metal batteries and cells (UN3090) are forbidden for transportation aboard passenger-carrying aircraft. Such batteries transported in accordance with Section I of Packing Instruction 968 must be labelled with the cargo aircraft only label. Such batteries transported in accordance with Section II of Packing Instruction 968 must be marked “PRIMARY LITHIUM BATTERIES — FORBIDDEN FOR TRANSPORT ABOARD PASSENGER AIRCRAFT” or “LITHIUM METAL BATTERIES — FORBIDDEN FOR TRANSPORT ABOARD PASSENGER AIRCRAFT”.Primary (non-rechargeable) lithium metal batteries and cells contained in or packed with equipment (UN3091) are forbidden for transportation aboard passenger-carrying aircraft unless:1) The equipment and the batteries and cells are transported in accordance withPacking Instruction 969 or 970, as appropriate;2) The package contains no more than the number of lithium metal batteries or cellsnecessary to power the intended piece of equipment;3) The lithium content of each cell, when fully charged, is not more than 5 grams;4) The aggregate lithium content of the anode of each battery, when fully charged, isnot more than 25 grams; and5) The net weight of lithium batteries does not exceed 5 kg (11 pounds).Primary (non-rechargeable) lithium metal batteries and cells contained in or packed with equipment (UN3091) and transported in accordance with Section I of Packaging Instruction 969 or 970 that do not conform to the above provisions are forbidden for transportation aboard passenger carrying aircraft and must be labelled with the cargo aircraft only label.Primary (non-rechargeable) lithium metal batteries and cells contained in or packed with equipment (UN3091) and transported in accordance with Section II of Packaging Instruction 969 or 970 that do not conform to the above provisions are forbidden for transportation aboard passenger carrying aircraft and must be marked “PRIMARY LITHIUM BATTERIES — FORBIDDEN FOR TRANSPORT ABOARD PASSENGER AIRCRAFT” or “LITHIUM METAL BATTERIES — FORBIDDEN FOR TRANSPORT ABOARD PASSENGER AIRCRAFT”.— — — — — — — —ATTACHMENTLITHIUM BATTERY PACKING INSTRUCTIONSPACKING INSTRUCTION 965+Passenger and cargo aircraft for UN 3480This entry applies to lithium ion or lithium polymer batteries in Class 9 (Section I) and lithium ion or lithium polymer batteries subject to specific requirements of these Instructions (Section II).SECTION ISection I requirements apply to each cell or battery type that has been determined to meet the criteria for assignment to Class 9.Each cell or battery must:1) be of the type proven to meet the requirements of each test in the UN Manual of Tests and Criteria,Part III, section 38.3; and2) incorporate a safety venting device or be designed to preclude a violent rupture under conditionsnormally incident to transport and be equipped with an effective means of preventing external shortcircuits.Each battery containing cells or a series of cells connected in parallel must be equipped with an effective means, as necessary, to prevent dangerous reverse current flow (e.g. diodes, fuses).General requirementsPart 4;1 requirements must be met.Package quantity (Section I)Contents Passenger CargoLithium ion cells and batteries 5 kg G 35 kg GADDITIONAL PACKING REQUIREMENTS— Lithium ion cells and batteries must be protected against short circuits.— Packagings must meet the Packing Group II performance requirements.— Lithium ion batteries with a mass of 12 kg or greater and having a strong, impact-resistant outer casing, or assemblies of such batteries, may be transported when packed in strong outer packagings and protective enclosures not subject to the requirements of Part 6 of these Instructions, if approved by the appropriate authority of the State of Origin.
