4 Frequently Asked Questions about “Energy storage battery shipping standards - Inala Strategic Solar”
What are the classification and shipping requirements for lithium-ion batteries?
The classification and shipping requirements for lithium-ion batteries depend on their size and energy capacity (Watt-hours). For standalone batteries. Strict UN-certified packaging. IUMI strongly supports the SoC limit of 30% for air freight and advocates similar principles for maritime transport.
What types of batteries do employers need to ship?
The employer must identify the different configurations of batteries that they ship, i.e. batteries by themselves - sodium ion batteries, lithium batteries and/or batteries packed with equipment and/or batteries contained in equipment, or combinations of these batteries and equipment provisions.
What are the new packaging requirements for lithium ion batteries?
Revised Packing Instructions: More stringent requirements for UN-certified packaging, capable of withstanding specific drop tests. State of Charge (SoC) Emphasis: Increased scrutiny on the SoC for standalone lithium-ion battery shipments, with a general requirement not to exceed 30% of rated capacity.
Do lithium batteries need a shipper's Dangerous Goods Declaration?
In addition, a Shipper's Dangerous Goods Declaration (DGD) is generally required when shipping fully regulated lithium batteries, such as those not meeting exemption criteria. However, the need for a DGD depends on factors like battery type, quantity, and mode of transport – with air and ocean regulations differing significantly.
