2.3 Appendix 3: Safety
2.3.1 Airfreight
Regulations applicable to PrimeLogs
PrimeLogs are powered by internal C-size Lithium cells, and as such are governed by the
appropriate regulations issued by ICAO and IATA.
The effect of these regulations can be summarised in two parts:
2.3.1.1
Shipment of loggers in new condition
Loggers containing new batteries may be shipped by passenger or freight airline. A
waterproof package must be used; this may be an inner sealed plastic bag. The equipment
must be packed securely so that no movement can occur within the package.
There is no restriction on the number of loggers in any package.
A special warning label (Hazard Label for Class 9 - Miscellaneous Dangerous Goods) must
be affixed to the outside of the package. This label is readily available from packaging
suppliers.
2.3.1.2
Shipment of loggers with discharged batteries
It is expressly forbidden to ship equipment with discharged batteries.
Cells which are discharged or in a condition close to discharge must be removed from
loggers (and subjected to correct disposal) before shipping such loggers by air. Naturally,
loggers which do not contain any batteries are exempt from the requirements quoted above.
NOTE:
This summary applies only to batteries contained within the loggers, not to
unmounted batteries for which other sections of the Regulations are applicable.
