Let\u2019s take a look at each topic and regulation to sort things out.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>TDG Regulations \u2013 Canada Ground<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Placarding (Part 4: Dangerous Goods Safety Marks):<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Class 9 material requires placarding on the vehicle if the gross mass is equal to or exceeds 500 kg.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Segregation<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: TDG Regulations do not address segregation rules for batteries.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>49 CFR \u2013 US Ground<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Placarding (\u00a7172.504):<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Class 9 materials are found in Table 2. This indicates that placards would be needed when the gross aggregate weight of the materials in the transport vehicle reaches 1001 pounds (454 kilograms). In paragraph (f)(9), there is an exception. The exception tells us that placards are not needed for Class 9 materials shipped domestically. Easy right? Now, this paragraph also tells us that should you use a bulk packaging of batteries; we would be required to mark the identification number on an orange panel, a white square-on-point configuration, or a Class 9 placard.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Segregation and Separation Chart of Hazardous Materials (\u00a7177.848):<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> There is currently nothing in this section of 49 CFR to indicate batteries should be segregated or separated from other hazardous materials.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>62<\/b><b>th<\/b><b> Edition of IATA for Air<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Placarding<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: There are no requirements to placard a plane in the IATA Dangerous Goods regulations. You must still follow any ground placarding rules that would apply to getting your shipment to and\/or from the airport.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Segregation of Dangerous Goods (9.3.2.1):<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> The table shown below includes Class 9 materials, but it directs you to read Section 9.3.2.1.3. That paragraph pertains to lithium batteries. Basically, if you have a lithium-ion battery that meets the criteria of being a Section 1A or Section 1B in Packing Instruction 965, then it must be segregated from other packages\/overpacks of goods labeled as flammable or explosive. The same is true for lithium metal batteries and Packing Instruction 968. The paragraph explicitly lists goods in Class 1 Explosives (except Division 1.4S), Division 2.1 Flammable Gases, Class 3 Flammable Liquids, Division 4.1 Flammable Solids, and Division 5.1 Oxidizers. Now the paragraph uses the word \u201cmust,\u201d which means this is a mandatory requirement.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you are a shipper, per Section 5.0.1.5.1, those Section 1A or 1B batteries in Packing Instructions 965 and 968 are not permitted in overpacks at all with any explosives or flammables. A shipper should also review 5.0.2.11 paragraph (h) note 4. This tells a shipper that you are not allowed to package batteries meeting Section 1A or 1B in the same outer package as any explosive or flammable material.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-874778 \" src=\"https:\/\/www.thecompliancecenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/ICC_LithiumBatterySegregation_001.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1112\" height=\"391\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>39-18 IMDG for Vessel<\/h2>\n<p>Placarding (Chapter 5.3): The general rule for placarding within IMDG is \u201cif there is a label on the package, then a placard is required.\u201d So, if our packages of batteries are labeled with a Class 9 lithium battery hazard label, we will need a placard.<\/p>\n<p>Segregation (Chapter 7.2) and Stowage (Chapter 7.1): Segregation for IMDG is a bit complex. Not only do you have to pay attention to the segregation requirements but also to those for stowage and what is in the Dangerous Goods List (DGL). Luckily for lithium batteries of all types the information is the same. Let\u2019s start with the information in the DGL. Column 16a for Stowage and Handling tells us to follow Category A and SW19. Category A tells us to stow the packages either \u201con deck\u201d or \u201cunder deck,\u201d but nothing about keeping them away from any certain goods. Column 16b for Segregation is blank, so that is easy. Column 17 says, \u201cbatteries may cause fire,\u201d but nothing about any particular goods to avoid. After all of that, there is nothing in the IMDG Code that directly tells us to segregate lithium batteries from any other goods.<\/p>\n<p>Hopefully, by listing things here as they are, it will be easier to understand. No one needs to be \u201cconfused\u201d anymore.
