Update on Dangerous Goods Transportation Regulations for Lithium metal and Lithium ion batteries
The following transportation regulations have both recently been revised:
・International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) Technical Instructions (ICAO-TI)
・International Maritime Organization (IMO) International Maritime Dangerous Goods (IMDG) Code
Additional revisions have been made affecting the ICAO-TI alone, intended specifically for air transport.

IMDG Code Jan. 1, 2009 (Transition period) Jan. 1, 2010
It is important that necessary arrangements be made so that all those concerned are thoroughly informed of the revisions.
In the case of Lithium metal cells and batteries:
Lithium metal cells and batteries:
CR Cylindrical (Lithium Manganese Dioxide Batteries)
Heat Resistant CR (Lithium Manganese Dioxide Batteries)
CR Coin-Type (Lithium Manganese Dioxide Batteries)
ER (Lithium Thionyl Chloride Batteries)
ML Coin-Type (Lithium Manganese Dioxide Rechargeable Batteries)
TC Button-Type (Titanium Carbon Lithium Rechargeable Batteries)
In the case of Lithium ion cells and batteries:
Lithium ion cells and batteries:
Lithium ion rechargeable batteries
