  6. General Awareness

  7. Function Specific

  8. Safety

  9. Security

  10. Recurrent Training • DOT 3 years • ICAO/IATA 2 years • IMDG per each Competent Authority

  11. Main Consignment Responsibilities • Identification • Classification • Packaging • Marking & • Labeling • Placarding • Documentation

  12. Shipping Lithium Batteries Identification & Classification

  13. Identification The Proper Shipping Name is part of the basic description which helps identify the hazardous material or article. This must appear on the outside of the packaging and on Shipping Papers

  14. CFR-49 Table §172.101

  15. IATA List of Dangerous Goods

  16. IATA List of Dangerous Goods

  17. UN Lithium Battery Testing Requirements T1: Altitude Simulation T2: Thermal Test T3: Vibration T4: Shock T5: External Short Circuit T6: Impact T7: Overcharge T8: Forced Discharge

  18. Classification- What’s Regulated?  Order does not imply relative degree of danger

  19. CFR-49 Table §172.101

  20. DOT Special Provisions 188 &189 188 Exceptions for Small Quantities Li-ion cells -1.5g ELC (approx. equivalent ~ 20 Wh) 189 Exceptions to Medium Lithium Cells & Batteries

  21. DOT Special Provisions for Air A54 & A55 • A54 Lithium batteries or lithium batteries contained or packed with equipment that exceed the maximum gross weight allowed by Column (9B) of the § 172.101 Table may only be transported on cargo aircraft if approved by the Associate Administrator. • A55 Prototype lithium batteries and cells that are packed with not more than 24 cells or 12 batteries per packaging that have not completed the test requirements in Sub-section 38.3 of the UN Manual of Tests and Criteria (incorporated by reference; see § 171.7 of this subchapter) may be transported by cargo aircraft if approved by the Associate Administrator

  22. Other DOT Special Provisions for Air A100 • Primary (non-rechargeable) lithium batteries and cells are forbidden for transport aboard passenger carrying aircraft. • Secondary (rechargeable) lithium batteries and cells are authorized aboard passenger carrying aircraft in packages that do not exceed a gross weight of 5 kg. A101 A primary lithium battery or cell packed with or contained in equipment is forbidden for transport aboard a passenger carrying aircraft unless the equipment and the battery conform to the following provisions and the package contains no more than the number of lithium batteries or cells necessary to power the intended piece of equipment: (1) The lithium content of each cell, when fully charged, is not more than 5 grams. (2) The aggregate lithium content of the anode of each battery, when fully charged, is not more than 25 grams. (3) The net weight of lithium batteries does not exceed 5 kg (11 pounds). A103 Equipment is authorized aboard passenger carrying aircraft if the gross weight of the inner package of secondary lithium batteries or cells packed with the equipment does not exceed 5 kg (11 pounds). A104 The net weight of secondary lithium batteries or cells contained in equipment may not exceed 5 kg (11 pounds) in packages that are authorized aboard passenger carrying aircraft.

  23. Certification Each person in the USA who offers a hazmat for transport by air must certify it is in full compliance with • CFR-49 • ICAO • IATA

  24. Shipping Lithium atteriesPackaging

  25. Why do DG’s need regulated packaging standards?

  26. ASpecial Permit

  27. Definitions • Packing group means a grouping according to the degree of danger presented by hazardous materials. • Packing Group I indicates great danger; • Packing Group II, medium danger; • Packing Group III, minor danger.

  28. Specification Packaging

  29. Combination Packaging

  30. Single Packaging

  31. PACKAGINGS MUST BE SHIPPED AS THEY WERE TESTED -NO SUBSTITUTES ALLOWED

  32. Overpacks

  33. Packaging Identification Codes Identification of the different the kinds of authorized packagings consist of a specific number and letter code. The types of containers and their appropriate codes are as follows: 1 Drum 2 Wood barrel 3Jerrican 4 Box 5 Bag 6 Composite packaging 7 Pressure vessel

  34. A Steel B Aluminum C Natural Wood D Plywood F Reconstituted wood Packaging ID Codes cont., Followed by a capital letter to indicate the material of construction as follows: G Fiberboard H Plastic L Textile M Paper, multi-wall P Glass

  35. Packaging ID Codes cont., • In some instances a number indicating the category of packaging within the kind to which the packaging belongs, is used: • 1H (Plastic Drum) followed by ”1” indicates non-removable head i.e. 1H1 • or followed by “2” means removable head drum i.e. 1H2

  36. 4G/ Y6 / S / 12 USA / CARGOpak 123 u n Packaging Specification Marking • Int’l State of authorization • Name of Supplier or DOT Approved 3rd Party Lab • UN symbol • Packaging code type • Packing Group Performance Standard • Gross Mass in Kilograms • Combination or Solid packaging • Year of Manufacture

  37. Performance Standard Markings

  38. Packaging Certification Markings • A manufacturer must mark every packaging that is represented as manufactured to the UN standard with the appropriate marks. They must be readily durable, legible and visible.

  39. A combination packaging conforming to the UN standard must be marked as follows: u n 4G / X 25 / S / 12 / USA / +AQ 1234 Packaging Type Packing Group Country of Authorization Lab or Mfg. testing record reference Gross Mass in Kg. Year of Manufacture Designated DOT Approved Test Lab Combination package or package containing solids

  40. Variation Packaging

  41. Shipping Lithium Batteries Marking, Labeling & Placarding

  42. Marking Ref: 172.300 There are a few general specifications when dealing with markings. They must be: • In English, • Legible, • Printed, either manually or mechanically • Durable

  43. Marking-Proper Shipping Name • This must appear on all non-bulk packagings. e.g. Lithium Ion Batteries Lithium ion batteries 4G / Y5/ S /06/ USA /CPAK2345 u n

  44. Marking- Identification number • the ID number prefixed by the letters UN or NA (as appropriate) must also appear on the package and must be on the same side or panel as the PSN and hazard label. UN3480 Lithium ion batteries 4G / Y5/ S /06/ USA /CPAK2345 u n

  45. Marking-Names & Addresses • The Name and address of either the Shipper or Consignee must be marked on any non-bulk package. Note: Both Shipper & Consignee Names and Addresses are required for air shipments per the IATA DG regulations. Consignee: ABC Distributors 555 Water Dr Toronto, ON H2T 4H3 CANADA Shipper: Mobius Imaging 323 W. Main St. Ayer , MA , 01432 USA UN3480 Lithium ion batteries 4G / Y5/ S /06/ USA /CPAK2345 u n

  46. Proper Shipping Name- • Lithium ion batteries • ID number- UN3480 • UN Packaging Certification • Name & Address of Consignor (Shipper) andConsignee • * Consignments with multiple packages require Gross weight to be marked on the outside of each package u n Consignee: ABC Distributors 555 Water Dr Toronto, ON H2T 4H3 CANADA Shipper: Mobius Imaging 323 W. Main St. Ayer , MA , 01432 USA UN3480 Lithium ion batteries 4G / Y5/ S /06/ USA /CPAK2345 u n

  47. Labeling & Placards

  48. Hazard Labels • Must be durable • Hazard Class wording is optional • Must conform in shape, colors, form and text where applicable to DOT standards • (100mm x 100mm)

  49. Handling Labels- Cargo Aircraft Only • Must be used when the package containing the dangerous goods may only be transported on a cargo aircraft

  50. IATA Lithium Battery Label 110 mm  xxx-xxx-xxxx 120 mm
