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.
State of Charge (SoC): Strongly advocates for shipping batteries at a low SoC (ideally 30%-50%) to reduce energy available for a thermal event. The growing EV market has necessitated a dedicated regulatory framework and industry best practices. Vehicles must be securely stowed to prevent movement.
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.
Packages containing cells or batteries must not be placed in an overpack with packages containing dangerous goods classified in Class 1 other than Division 1.4S, Division 2.1, Class 3, Division 4.1 or Division 5.1. Shippers Dec? UN Spec Required?
