Appendix 6 Transportation Restrictions for Lithium Batteries
A6 - 6
Appendix 6-3 Example of hazardous goods declaration list
This section describes a general example of the hazardous goods declaration list. For details, please
inquire each transportation company.
This will be applied only to the batteries described in "Appendix 6-1 Restriction for Packing".
(1) Outline of hazard
Principal hazard and effect
Not found.
Specific hazard
As the chemical substance is stored in a sealed metal container, the battery itself is
not hazardous. But when the internal lithium metal attaches to human skin, it causes
a chemical skin burn. As a reaction of lithium with water, it may ignite or forms
flammable hydrogen gas.
Environmental effect
Not found.
Possible state of emergency
Damages or short-circuits may occur due to external mechanical or electrical
pressures.
(2) First-aid measure
Inhalation
If a person inhales the vapor of the substance due to the battery damage, move the
person immediately to fresh air. If the person feels sick, consult a doctor
immediately.
Skin contact
If the content of the battery attaches to human skin, wash off immediately with water
and soap. If skin irritation persists, consult a doctor.
Eye contact
In case of contact with eyes due to the battery damage, rinse immediately with a
plenty of water for at least 15 minutes and then consult a doctor.
Ingestion
If swallowed, consult a doctor immediately.
(3) Fire-fighting measure
Appropriate fire-extinguisher
Dry sand, dry chemical, graphite powder or carbon dioxide gas
Special fire-fighting measure
Keep the battery away from the fireplace to prevent fire spreading.
Protectors against fire
Fire-protection gloves, eye/face protector (face mask), body/skin protective cloth
(4) Measure for leakage
Environmental precaution
Dispose of them immediately because strong odors are produced when left for a long
time.
How to remove
Get them absorbed into dry sand and then collect the sand in an empty container.
(5) Handling and storage
Handling
Cautions for safety
