Lithium Battery Safety Data Sheet and Test Summary

Manufacturers and subsequent distributors of cells or batteries and equipment powered by cells and batteries manufactured after 30 June 2003 must make available the test summary as specified in the UN Manual of Tests and Criteria, Revision and amend. 1, Part III, sub-section 38.3, paragraph 38.3.5.

You can download doc packs for the cell/batteries installed in the system and/or battery shipped as FRU from this website. The doc packs will include the MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet) and Lithium battery Test Summary UN 38.3.5.

Starting in January 2022 IATA is eliminating Section II for FRU shipments (single battery shipments, quantity 1) from the Packing Instructions for Lithium Batteries (FRU) and Lithium-Ion Batteries (FRU). All battery FRU shipments will need to follow Section IB following the standard dangerous goods requirements (proper documentation, labeling, handling & IATA trained).

¹ Section IB: Quantity above 2 or if the carrier only accepts to carry goods on Section IB.

*These items contain coin cell installed in systems and they are exempt from the Dangerous Goods regulations, meaning that it requires no labeling, documentation, or special handling. If the manufacturer includes a dangerous label in the package indicating that it has coin cell installed, we recommend using the doc pack to avoid shipping issues, even though, per the regulation it's not required.
