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 this section "Handling by User".
The followings are restrictions for transportation. Each restriction is specified based on the recommendation of the United
Nations.
