Transportation of Lithium Batteries
The transportation of lithium batteries is regulated
by the International Air Transport Association
(IATA), the International Civil Aviation Organization
(ICAO) and by the U.S. Department of
Transportation (DOT).
1. IATA and ICAO Special Provisions A45
All RENATA lithium batteries are considered as
non-hazardous since they meet the Special
Provisions A45, as published in IATA's handbook,
41st edition, effective 1 January 2000.
These provisions require: "Batteries must be
separated so as to prevent short circuits and must
be packed in strong packaging, except when
installed in electronic devices".
All RENATA Li/MnO2 cells or batteries have solid
cathodes and contain less than 1 gram of lithium
or lithium alloy.
Also the batteries are approved in accordance to
UN Spezial Provision SP 188-Manual of Tests &
Criteria Part III Subsection 38.3.
2. DOT
All RENATA lithium batteries are not subject to the
requirements of the DOT Subchapter C,
Hazardous Material Regulations because all our
batteries meet the requirements of
