Lithium batteries are categorized as Class 9 dangerous goods as stipulated by international organizations such as the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO). This classification mainly covers items with various hazardous attributes, and lithium batteries, due to their chemical nature and potential safety hazards such as short circuiting, overcharging, and the risk of ignition or explosion under extreme temperature circumstances, are explicitly encompassed within this category.
Specifically, during transportation, lithium batteries require special packaging and labeling, including compliance with the UN38.3 test certification and the attachment of Class 9 dangerous goods labels, to guarantee their safety during the transit. Moreover, the transportation of lithium batteries must conform to a series of strict regulations, such as avoiding intense vibration and preventing external short circuits, all aimed at reducing the risk of accidents during transportation.
Consequently, the production, transportation, usage, and disposal of lithium batteries demand strict compliance with relevant safety regulations and operational procedures to ensure the safety of personnel and the environment.
