Specific Requirements Batteries can be considered as non-spillable provided that they are capable of withstanding the vibration and pressure differential tests given below, without leakage of battery fluid. Vibration test: The battery is rigidly clamped to the platform of a vibration machine and a simple harmonic motion having an amplitude of 0.8 mm (1.6 mm maximum total excursion) is applied. The frequency is varied at the rate of 1 Hz/min between the limits of 10 Hz and 55 Hz. The entire range of frequencies and return is traversed in 95 ± 5 minutes for each mounting position (direction of vibration) of the battery. The battery is tested in three mutually perpendicular positions (to include testing with fill openings and vents, if any, in an inverted position) for equal time periods. Pressure differential test: Following the vibration test, the battery is stored for six hours at 24 °C ± 4 °C while subjected to a pressure differential of at least 88 kPa. The battery is tested in three mutually perpendicular positions (to include testing with fill openings and vents, if any, in an inverted position) for at least six hours in each position. Important note: Non-spillable batteries meeting the requirements of this summary sheet are not subject to Dangerous Goods Regulations if, at a temperature of 55°C, the electrolyte will not flow from a ruptured or cracked case. (see 2.1.1.1.3) IATA Transport mode ADR IMDG Passenger Aircraft Cargo Exceptions Not subject to the requirements of ADR if comply with SP 598, when batteries are: • they are secured in such a way that they cannot slip, fall or be damaged; • they are provided with carrying devices, unless they are suitably stacked, e.g. on pallets; • there are no dangerous traces of alkalis or acids on the outside; • they are protected against short circuits Packing instructions P003 PP16 P003 PP16 PI 872 Must be securely packed in strong outer packagings, not approved but meeting the construction requirements of 6.1.4 ADR and IMDG; so the maximun net weight is 400 kg Batteries shall be protected against short circuits within the packagings Non approved outer packagings of the type: • Drums (1A, 1B, 1N, 1H, 1D, 1G); • Boxes (4A, 4B, 4C, 4D, 4F, 4G, 4H) • Jerricans (3A, 3B, 3H). Batteries must be protected against short circuits and must be securely packed in strong outer packagings. Batteries in equipment Non-spillable batteries which are an integral part of, and necessary for, the operation of mechanical or electronic equipment shall be securely fastened in the battery holder on the equipment and protected in such a manner as to prevent damage and short circuits. Non-spillable batteries which are an integral part of, and necessary for, the operation of mechanical or electronic equipment shall be securely fastened in the battery holder on the equipment and protected in such a manner as to prevent damage and short circuits.
