Copyright © www.batteriestransport.org 58 2.1.1.2.3 LEAD ACID BATTERIES – INDUSTRIAL – NOT REGULATED Applies to: Lead-acid batteries – Industrial applications – Not regulated UN No., Proper Shipping Name n/a Class n/a Packing Group not assigned Hazard Label n/a n/a Specific Requirements Non-spillable batteries are not subject to the requirements of ADR if, at a temperature of 55 °C, the electrolyte will not flow from a ruptured or cracked case and there is no free liquid to flow and if, as packaged for carriage, the terminals are protected from short circuit. 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. IATA Transport mode ADR IMDG Passenger Aircraft Cargo Packing instructions Special Provisions In batteries as packaged for carriage, the terminals are protected from short circuit. The battery must not contain any free or unabsorbed liquid. Any electrical battery or battery powered device, equipment or vehicle having the potential of dangerous evolution of heat must be prepared for transport so as to prevent: iii. a short circuit (e.g. in the case of batteries, by the effective insulation of exposed terminals; or in the case of equipment, by disconnection of the battery and protection of exposed terminals); and iv. unintentional activation Weight limit No limit No limit No limit No limit Tunnel code - - - - Transport cat. - - - Exemptions - - - - Marking and Labelling of Packages - - - - Overpack - - - - Documents - - The words “Not Restricted as per A67” must be included in the description of the substance on the Air Waybill
