Handling of AC servo amplifier batteries for the
United Nations Recommendations on the
Transport of Dangerous Goods
Rev. 15 (2007) of United Nations Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods (hereinafter Recommendations of
the United Nations) was published. To reflect the Recommendations, transport regulations for lithium metal batteries are
partially revised in the Technical Instruction (ICAO-TI) by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) and the
International Maritime Dangerous Goods Code (IMDG Code) by the International Maritime Organization (IMO).
To comply with the ICAO-TI and the IMDG Code, we have modified the indication on the package for general-purpose AC
servo batteries.
The above change will not affect the function or performance of the product.
