Appendix 2 Restrictions for Lithium Batteries
MITSUBISHI CNC
Appendix 2-1 Restriction for Packing
The United Nations Dangerous Goods Regulations "Article 12" became effective from 2003. When transporting
lithium batteries with means subject to the UN Regulations, such as by air transport, measures corresponding to
the Regulations must be taken.
The UN Regulations classify the batteries as dangerous goods (Class 9) or not dangerous goods according to
the lithium metal content. To ensure safety during transportation, lithium batteries (battery unit) directly exported
from Mitsubishi are packaged in a dedicated container (UN package) for which safety has been confirmed.
When the customer is transporting these products with means subject to the UN Regulations, such as air
transport, the shipper must follow the details explained in the section "Transportation Restrictions for Lithium
Batteries: Handling by User".
The followings are restrictions for transportation. Each restriction is specified based on the recommendation of
the United Nations.
Appendix 2-1-1 Target Products
The following Mitsubishi NC products use lithium batteries. If the lithium metal content exceeds 1g for battery cell
and 2g for battery, the battery is classified as dangerous good (Class9).
In order to avoid an accidental actuation during the transportation, all lithium battery products incorporated in a
machinery or device must be fixed securely and must be shipped with wrapped over the outer package as to
prevent damage or short-circuits.
(1) Materials falling under Class 9
(2) Materials not falling under Class 9
(Note) If the number of batteries exceeds 24 batteries for the battery cell or 12 batteries for the battery, the
dedicated packing (for materials falling under Class 9) is required.
