Of Dangerous Goods - Mitsubishi Electric MELSERVO-J4 Series Instruction Manual

Appendix 2
United Nations Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods Rev. 15 (hereinafter Recommendations of the
United Nations) has been issued. To reflect this, transport regulations for lithium metal batteries are partially revised in the
Technical Instruction (ICAO-TI) by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) and the International Maritime
Dangerous Goods Code (IMDG Code) by the International Maritime Organization (IMO).
To comply the instruction and code, we have modified the indication on the package for general-purpose AC servo batteries.
The above change will not affect the function and performance of the product.
