APPENDIX 6 TRASPORTATION RESTRICTIONS FOR LITHIUM

Appendix 6.1 Restriction for Packing

The United Nations Dangerous Goods Regulations "Article 12" became effective from 2003. When
transporting lithium batteries with means subject to the UN Regulations, such as by air transport,
measures corresponding to the Regulations must be taken. The UN Regulations classify the batteries as
dangerous goods (Class 9) or not dangerous goods according to the lithium content.
To ensure safety during transportation, lithium batteries (battery unit) directly exported from Mitsubishi
are packaged in a dedicated container (UN package) for which safety has been confirmed. When the
customer is transporting these products with means subject to the UN Regulations, such as air transport,
the shipper must follow the details explained in the section "6.1.2 Handling by User".

Appendix 6.1.1 Target Products

The following Mitsubishi NC products use lithium batteries. The UN Regulations classify the batteries as
dangerous goods (Class 9) or not dangerous goods according to the lithium content. (Refer to the
battery unit's rating nameplate or section "4-1-2 Battery option" for details on the lithium content.) If the
batteries subjected to hazardous materials are incorporated in a device and shipped, a dedicated
packaging (UN packaging) is not required. However, the item must be packed and shipped following the
Packing Instruction 912 specified in the IATA DGR (Dangerous Goods Regulation) book.
Also, all lithium battery products incorporated in a machinery or device must be fixed securely in
accordance with the Packing Instruction 900 and shipped with protection in a way as to prevent damage
or short-circuits.

(Note 1) Dedicated packaging is required if the shipment exceeds 12 batteries/24 battery cells.
(Note 2) The battery units labeled as "FCUA-" instead of "MDS-A-" also use the same battery.
(Note 3) Always use the cell battery (MR-BAT) in combination with the dedicated case
