Appendix 2 - 2

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.
