Appendix 2 Restrictions for Lithium Batteries

Appendix 2-1 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 metal 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 "Transportation Restrictions for Lithium
Batteries: Handling by User".
The followings are restrictions for transportation. Each restriction is specified based on the recommendation of
the United Nations.
