Industry bodies have united to produce "Guidelines for safe transport of Lithium-ion batteries in containers".
The Lithium-ion Batteries in Containers Guidelines seek to prevent the increasing risks that the transport of lithium-ion batteries by sea creates, providing suggestions for identifying such risks and thereby helping to ensure a safer supply chain in the future.
Mishandling, improper packaging or storage can result in severe chemical and electrical hazards. Therefore, an in-depth understanding surrounding the specifics of safe shipping is critical. Chemical composition: Lithium-ion batteries contain a mix of highly reactive materials.
Container Requirements: Containers used for shipping lithium-ion batteries by sea must meet specific IMDG Code regulations. These regulations may include requirements for proper ventilation, fire-resistant lining, and segregation from incompatible cargo to minimize risks during transport.
Due to such risks, lithium batteries are classified as Class 9 dangerous goods, while other types of batteries can fall into other classes of dangerous goods. This means they are subject to regulations on packaging, labelling, quantity limits, training, and reporting. Which transport modes can be used to ship batteries?
Electrical characteristics: Shipping involves managing electrical properties like voltage and current, which can impact safety if not controlled properly. Safety measures: A thorough understanding of how to handle, label, and package lithium-ion batteries is critical to avoid incidents or accidents during transit.
