UN Transport Regulation Update

PPT 2.
HISTORY
The United Nations Sub-Committee for the Transport of Dangerous
Goods terminated the biennium 2013-2014 with several modifications
To the Transport Regulation on Lithium Batteries
In addition significant changes were adopted regarding the testing
Requirements for Lithium batteries (Section 38.3. of the Manual of Tests
And Criteria).
A decision was taken to reactivate the Informal Working Group
on Lithium Batteries Testing Requirements during the new biennium
2015-2016. (First IWG Meeting > March 16-17, 2015 in Brussels)

New Marking Requirements
(See ADD.3. to the list of PPT to WRBRF 2015)

1. SP188 amended
Currently, SP 188(f) excepts packages containing small lithium batteries
installed in equipment from marking and documentation requirements.
IATA did propose to clarify in Special Provision 188 that “power packs”
containing lithium batteries whose only function is to provide power to another
device be classified as “batteries” and not “equipment,” and therefore not eligible
for the exceptions afforded in SP 188(f).
PRBA & RECHARGE opposed the classification of power packs as batteries.

1. SP188 amended
SP 188 (f)
Amended to read as follows:
“(f) Each package shall be marked with the appropriate lithium battery mark,
as illustrated at 5.2.1.9;
NOTE: The provisions concerning marking in special provision 188 of the
eighteenth revised edition of the United Nations Recommendations on the
Transport of Dangerous Goods, Model Regulations may continue to be applied
until 31 December 2018.
This requirement does not apply to:
(i) packages containing only button cell batteries installed in equipment
(including circuit boards); and
(ii) packages containing no more than four cells or two batteries installed in
equipment, where there are not more than two packages in the
consignment.”.

2. SP240 amended
UN 3171 Battery powered vehicles or Battery Powered Equipment
Amendment to SP 240 was adopted:
NB SP240 supplies a list of examples of vehicles and of equipments.
Current
text ...
“Examples of such vehicles are electrically-powered cars, motorcycles, scooters,
three- and four-wheeled vehicles or motorcycles, e-bikes, wheel-chairs, lawn tractors,
boats and aircraft.”
Will be replaced by…
“Examples of such vehicles are electrically-powered cars, motorcycles, scooters,
three- and four-wheeled vehicles or motorcycles, trucks, locomotives, bicycles (pedal
cycles with an electric motor) and other vehicles of this type (e.g. self-balancing
vehicles or vehicles not equipped with at least one seating position), wheel chairs,
lawn tractors, self-propelled farming and construction equipment, boats and aircraft.”.

2. SP240 amended
UN 3171 Battery powered vehicles or Battery Powered Equipment
At the end of the second paragraph, insert the following sentence:
“This includes vehicles transported in a packaging. In this case some
parts of the vehicle may be detached from its frame to fit into the
packaging.”.
At the end, insert the following new paragraph:
“Vehicles may contain other dangerous goods than batteries (e.g. fire
extinguishers, compressed gas accumulators or safety devices)
required for their functioning or safe operation without being subject
to any additional requirements for these other dangerous goods,
unless otherwise specified in these Regulations.”.

3. SP310 amended
SP 310 . Exemption from the Testing Requirements
for certain types of batteries (pre-prod. prototypes and small
production runs)
The testing requirements in the Manual of Tests and Criteria, part III, sub-section 38.3 do
not apply to production runs, consisting of not more than 100 cells and batteries, or to
pre-production prototypes of cells and batteries when these prototypes are transported
for testing when packaged in accordance with packing instruction P910 of 4.1.4.1
1. Extension of SP 310 to batteries contained in equipment
UN3090, 3091, 3480 & 3481.
2. Separation of Packaging Requirements into a new PI P910
3. Information on the transport document that cells or
batteries are transported under SP310.

SP 310 . Exemption from the Testing Requirements
for certain types of batteries (pre-prod. prototypes and small
production runs)

PACKING INSTRUCTION
P910
This instruction applies to UN Nos. 3090, 3091, 3480 and 3481 production runs consisting of not more than
100 cells and batteries and to pre-production prototypes of cells and batteries when these prototypes are
transported for testing.

4. SP312 amended
SP 312
>>> UN 3166 Hybrid Vehicle equipped with Lithium-Ion
batteries
Amend the first sentence to read:
“Vehicles powered by a fuel cell engine shall be consigned under
the entries UN No. 3166 VEHICLE, FUEL CELL, FLAMMABLE GAS
POWERED or UN No. 3166 VEHICLE, FUEL CELL, FLAMMABLE
LIQUID POWERED, as appropriate.”.
At the end, add a new paragraph to read as follows:
“Lithium batteries shall meet the requirements of 2.9.4, except when
otherwise provided for in these Regulations (e.g. for prototype
batteries and small production runs under special provision 310 or
damaged batteries under special provision 376).”.

emitting flame in lower half): black;
Background: white;

6. New Marking Requirements
-The Proposal 1 for the labelling of Lithium batteries under Class 9 was
widely supported and the amended version is found in INF 73.
The following amendments have been integrated in the final document adopted.
-Tel Nb marking in the rectangle for batteries excepted (SP188)
-D&D batteries will only bear the Class 9 + marking D&D batteries.
-Waste batteries will only bear the Class 9 + marking batteries for disposal or
recycling.
-Documentation required will be removed from (g) as a consequence of above label
acceptance.
-IATA dimensions will be integrated.
-Application Date: January 1, 2019
-Not applicable to packages containing 4 cells or 2 batteries in eqt where there is no
more than 2 packages in the consignment (See SP 188 (f) amended).

CONCLUSIONS
Improvements to the current regulation have been obtained during
the 2013-2014 biennium
Workload on Lithium batteries Transport Regulation is increasing
ICAO is pushing the UNSCTDG for more restrictive measures
New marking requirements will enter into force in Jan 2019
For the 47th Session of June 2015, consider amendments to
recently adopted modifications (Deadline for paper submission =
26/03)
