This GUIDE provides scenario-based situations that outline the applicable requirements that a shipper must follow to ship packages of LITHIUM cells and batteries in various configurations. Each distinct shipping GUIDE in this document refers to the regulatory requirements for a specific LITHIUM cell/ BATTERY type, configuration, and size. In this way, a shipper will easily find the applicable provisions that they must follow depending on the scenario they encounter as a note that these shipping guides are based on the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR Parts 171-180) and can be used as a compliance tool to help outline applicable scenario-based regulatory requirements; this document is not a substitute for the HMR.
This document provides generalized guidance on the requirements for proper packaging and hazard communication of shipments of lithium cells and batteries and lithium battery-powered equipment by all modes of transportation. Shipments to, from, or within the United States are subject to the HMR.
