| SECTION IX - TRANSPORTATION | |
"PURE-LEAD" BATTERIES ARE STARVED ELECTROLYTE BATTERIES WHICH MEANS THE
ELECTROLYTE IS ABSORBED IN THE SEPARATOR MATERIAL. THE BATTERIES ARE ALSO
SEALED. AS OF SEPTEMBER 30, 1995, SEALED "PURE-LEAD" BATTERIES WERE
CLASSIFIED AS "NONSPILLABLE BATTERIES", AND AS SUCH ARE NOT SUBJECT TO THE
FULL REQUIREMENTS OF 49 CFR SUBSECTION 173.159. THE PREVIOUS EXEMPT
CLASSIFICATION. "DRY BATTERIES, NOT RESTRICTED" WAS DISCONTINUED EFFECTIVE
SEPTEMBER 30, 1995. "NONSPILLABLE" BATTERIES ARE EXCEPTED FROM THE
REGULATION'S COMPREHENSIVE PACKAGING REQUIREMENTS IF THE FOLLOWING
CONDITIONS ARE SATISFIED:
(1) THE BATTERY IS PROTECTED AGAINST SHORT CIRCUITS AND IS SECURELY
PACKAGED.
(2) FOR BATTERIES MANUFACTURED AFTER SEPTEMBER 30, 1995, THE BATTERY AND
OUTER PACKAGING MUST BE PLAINLY AND DURABLY MARKED "NONSPILLABLE" OR
"NONSPILLABLE BATTERY" AND
(3) THE BATTERY IS CAPABLE OF WITHSTANDING VIBRATION AND PRESSURE
DIFFERENTIAL TESTS SPECIFIED IN 49 CFR SUBSECTION 173.159(D).
SEALED "PURE-LEAD" BATTERIES HAVE BEEN TESTED BY WYLE SCIENTIFIC SERVICES &
SYSTEMS LABORATORIES GROUP AND DETERMINED TO BE IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE
VIBRATION AND PRESSURE DIFFERENTIAL TESTS CONTAINED IN 49 CFR SUBSECTION
173.159(D), AND THEREFORE AS OF SEPTEMBER 30, 1995, EXCEPTED FROM THE DOT
REQUIREMENTS SET FORTH IN 49 CFR SUBSECTION 173.159, OTHER THAN PARAGRAPH
(D).
BATTERY SHIPMENTS FROM ALL LOCATIONS, WILL BE PROPERLY LABELED IN ACCORDANCE
WITH APPLICABLE DOT REGULATIONS. PACKAGING CHANGES PERFORMED AT OTHER
LOCATIONS MAY REQUIRE ADDITIONAL LABELING, SINCE IN ADDITION TO THE BATTERY
ITSELF CONTAINING THE REQUIRED MARKING, THE OUTER PACKAGING OF THE BATTERY
MUST ALSO CONTAIN THE REQUIRED MARKING: "NONSPILLABLE" OR "NONSPILLABLE
BATTERY". BECAUSE THE BATTERIES ARE CLASSIFIED AS "NONSPILLABLE" AND MEET
THE THREE CONDITIONS ABOVE, (FROM SUBSECTION 173.159 (D)) THEY DO NOT HAVE
AN ASSIGNED UN NUMBER NOR DO THEY REQUIRE ADDITIONAL DOT HAZARD LABELING.
THE REGULATION CHANGE EFFECTIVE SEPTEMBER, 1995, WAS TO CLARIFY AND
DISTINGUISH TO SHIPPERS AND TRANSPORTERS, ALL BATTERIES THAT HAVE BEEN
TESTED AND DETERMINED TO BE IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE DOT HAZARDOUS MATERIAL
REGULATIONS, THE INTERNATIONAL CIVIL AERONAUTICS ORGANIZATION (ICAO), AND
THE INTERNATIONAL AIR TRANSPORT ASSOCIATION (IATA) PACKING INSTRUCTION
806 AND SPECIAL PROVISION A67, AND THEREFORE EXCEPTED FROM ALL OTHER
REQUIREMENTS OF THE REGULATIONS AND CLASSIFIED AS A "NONSPILLABLE BATTERY".
| SECTION X - ADDITIONAL INFORMATION | |
THE SEALED LEAD ACID BATTERY IS DETERMINED TO BE AN "ARTICLE" ACCORDING TO
THE OSHA HAZARD COMMUNICATION STANDARD AND IS THEREBY EXCLUDED FROM ANY
REQUIREMENTS OF THE STANDARD. THE MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET IS THEREFORE
SUPPLIED FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY.
