"Containing lithium metal battery. Regulations apply for transportation."
(5) Transportation precaution for customers
For sea or air transportation, attaching the handling label (fig. app. 1) must be attached to the package
of a Mitsubishi Electric cell or battery. In addition, attaching it to the outer package containing several
packages of Mitsubishi Electric cells or batteries is also required. When the content of a package must
be handled as dangerous goods (Class 9), the Shipper's Declaration for Dangerous Goods is required,
and the package must be compliant with Class 9 Packages. Documentations like the handling label in
the specified design and the Shipper's Declaration for Dangerous Goods are required for transportation.
Please attach the documentations to the packages and the outer package.
The IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations are revised, and the requirements are changed annually.
When customers transport lithium batteries by themselves, the responsibility for the cargo lies with the
customers. Thus, be sure to check the latest version of the IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations.
