CLASSIFICATION

Lithium cells and batteries must meet requirements of the UN Manual of Tests and Criteria. The manufacture must record the test results and maintain them (indefinitely).

This transport data sheet uses some of the small cells and batteries exceptions in 49 CFR 173.185(c). The criteria are:

• may not exceed lithium ion batteries of 100 Watt-hours (Wh) each, or lithium ion cells not exceeding 20 Wh each.
• Starting in 2016 lithium ion batteries using this exception must be marked with the watt-hour rating

The 2020 Scope has 4 batteries; only two batteries are allowed in the equipment to eliminate package marking or documentation. However, normal marking and documentation do not apply, and are replaced with special limited requirements.

Citation: 49 CFR 173.185(a), 49 CFR 173.185(c)

PACKAGING INFORMATION

Packaging must meet the general requirements of 49 CFR 173 Subpart B. Lithium batteries must be packaged in a manner to prevent short circuits, movement within the outer package and accidental activation of the equipment. Specification packaging does not apply.

Citation: 49 CFR 173 Subpart B, 49 CFR 173.185(b), 49 CFR 173.185(b)

SHIPPING PAPER REQUIREMENTS

Normal documentation requirements are waived and replaced with specific requirements. The text is performance-based, and not prescribed other than it must contain the following information:

(A) An indication that the package contains “lithium metal” or “lithium ion” cells or batteries, as appropriate;

(B) An indication that the package is to be handled with care and that a flammable hazard exists if the package is damaged;

(C) An indication that special procedures must be followed in the event the package is damaged, to include inspection and repacking if necessary; and

(D) A telephone number for additional information.

A document could be purchased, or the following text could be produced on Avery labels:

Citation: 49 CFR 173.185(c)(3)(iii)

CARTON MARKING

This handling label is required for air and can be used for all modes. The same information can be used in a different format for other modes, but it is recommended just to keep one sticker and use it for all shipments.

A phone number must be provided on the handling label. It could be an emergency phone number as required for many other hazardous materials, but this is not required, and it could be an office phone number. It should have the country code for international shipments.

The handling label must be at least 120 mm (4.7 inches) wide by 110 mm (4.3 inches) high. However, markings of 105 mm (4.1 inches) wide by 74 mm (2.9 inches) high may be used on when the package is too small for the larger mark.

Citation: 49 CFR 173.185

OVERPACKS

There are no hazardous materials marking or labeling requirements for overpacks of packages of equipment containing lithium cells or batteries when shipped according with this transport data sheet. This can be deduced from the fact that the air mode portion of 173.185 has overpack marking requirements, but it is not included in the general requirements for all modes. 

It may be easier for comprehension of personnel to adhere to standard overpack marking protocols in 173.25, unless there is enough extra labor to merit training about this peculiarity, and mark the overpack as follows:

ABOUT LITHIUM BATTERIES

“Lithium Cells” are cylindrical. They can be very short, e.g. a lithium metal CR1620 coin cell / button cell, or longer like a CR2. “Lithium Batteries” are articles containing combinations of cells (e.g. a 9v battery contains multiple cells), and may be rectangular. Lithium ion energy is typically but not always synonymous with being rechargeable, whereas lithium metal is non-rechargeable. Cell phones and laptops use rechargeable lithium ion batteries which provide high output power for short periods of time, while goods such as optics may use lithium metal cells which provide long term low output power.

Lithium batteries which are improperly manufactured or packaged may self-ignite in flame, and are not extinguishable with small amounts of water.

CLASSIFICATION

Lithium cells and batteries must meet requirements of the UN Manual of Tests and Criteria. The manufacture must record the test results and maintain them (indefinitely).

This transport data sheet uses the small cells and batteries exceptions in 49 CFR 173.185(c). The criteria are:

• may not exceed lithium ion batteries of 100 Watt-hours (Wh) each, or lithium ion cells not exceeding 20 Wh each. Starting in 2016 lithium ion batteries using this exception must be marked with the watt-hour rating.
• only four cells or two batteries may be installed in the equipment
• no spare batteries may be packed with the equipment.

Shipments meeting these criteria are excepted from package marking or documentation.

Citation: 49 CFR 173.185(a), 49 CFR 173.185(c)

PACKAGING INFORMATION

Packaging must meet the general requirements of 49 CFR 173 Subpart B. They must be packaged in a manner to prevent short circuits, movement within the outer package and accidental activation of the equipment. This may be done by closing the laptop, as the power button is on the inside, and packing it to prevent movement in the package. Specification packaging does not apply.

Citation: 49 CFR 173 Subpart B, 49 CFR 173.185(b), 49 CFR 173.185(b)

SHIPPING PAPER REQUIREMENTS

Normal documentation requirements are waived when transported by road. Equipment containing lithium cells or batteries is still hazmat, but are not marked “HM” on the shipping document because they are not subject to documentation requirements in 49 CFR 173 Subpart C.

BASIS OF THE REGULATORY EXCEPTION

Wipes containing RemOil or other flammable liquids, are not regulated when meeting certain criteria, per similar special provisions of the USA, and international ocean and air transport regulations. The criteria are:

1. First, there can be no free liquid at the time of filling to be classed into UN 3175, unless  flammable solid testing is done.
2. To then exit the regulations:
   1. Package in a sealed packet
   2. Have no more than 10 mL of liquid absorbed
   3. Liquid must be PG II or III (not PG I)
   4. Have no free liquid

RemOil packets qualify, as they are sealed, contain less than 10 mL of RemOil, RemOil and other Remington cleaners are PG II or less, and the wipes have no free liquid. The special provisions are shown below for the USA, IMDG and ICAO TI.

SPECIAL PROVISION 47 – USA

“Mixtures of solids that are not subject to this subchapter and flammable liquids may be transported under this entry without first applying the classification criteria of Division 4.1, provided there is no free liquid visible at the time the material is loaded or at the time the packaging or transport unit is closed. Except when the liquids are fully absorbed in solid material contained in sealed bags, for single packagings, each packaging must correspond to a design type that has passed a leakproofness test at the Packing Group II level. Small inner packagings consisting of sealed packets and articles containing less than 10 mL of a Class 3 liquid in Packing Group II or III absorbed onto a solid material are not subject to this subchapter provided there is no free liquid in the packet or article.”

SPECIAL PROVISION 216 – INTERNATIONAL MARITIME REGULATIONS 

“Mixtures of solids which are not subject to the provisions of this Code and flammable liquids may be transported under this entry without first applying the classification criteria of class 4.1, provided there is no free liquid visible at the time the substance is loaded or at the time the packaging or cargo transport unit is closed. Each cargo transport unit shall be leakproof when used as a bulk container. Sealed packets and articles containing less than 10 mL of a packing group II or III flammable liquid absorbed into a solid material are not subject to the provisions of this Code provided there is no free liquid in the packet or article.”

SPECIAL PROVISION A46 – INTERNATIONAL MARITIME REGULATIONS 

Mixtures of solids which are not subject to these Instructions and flammable liquids may be transported under this entry without first applying the classification criteria of Division 4.1, providing there is no free liquid visible at the time the substance is packaged and, for single packagings, the packaging must pass a leakproofness test at the Packing Group II level. Small inner packagings consisting of sealed packets or articles containing less than 10 mL of a Packing Group II or III flammable liquid absorbed into a solid material are not subject to these Instructions provided there is no free liquid in the packet or articles.

SOME OTHER EXCEPTIONS

Depending on the flash point, RemOil® and other flammable liquids may be partially or fully excepted as combustible liquids from the hazardous materials regulations, and in some cases international regulations. Some specifics are given in the relevant transport data sheet. These exceptions are not needed when the flammable liquids are incorporated into wipes, meeting certain criteria. In case of a full exception, then the criteria above are not necessary. RemOil, with a flashpoint of 105F, does not qualify for a full exception except in wipes.

CLASSIFICATION

Per 49 CFR 173.171, Smokeless powder for small arms which has been classed in Division 1.3 or Division 1.4 may be reclassed in Division 4.1 (flammable solid), subject to certain conditions. An EX approval is required, but the EX number does not need to be marked per 172.320 since it is a flammable solid and no longer an explosive.

Citation: 49 CFR 171.171(a)

MODAL LIMITATIONS

Road: Maximum 100 pounds net mass per transport vehicle, e.g. a trailer. A motor vehicle with multiple trailers could have 100 pounds in each trailer, or a truck with cargo compartment could have 100 pounds and haul a trailer with an additional 100 pounds.

Rail: Maximum 100 pounds net mass per transport vehicle, e.g. a rail car.

Vessel: Maximum 100 pounds net mass per freight container, not to exceed four freight containers per vessel.

Air: Passenger aircraft is forbidden. Maximum 100 pounds net mass per cargo aircraft. Per Column 9b of the hazardous materials, each package is limited to 7.3 kg (16 pounds).

Citation: 49 CFR 171.171(b)

PACKAGING INFORMATION

Smokeless powder may be transported as Division 4.1 flammable solids when packaged as follows:

• in a configuration examined and approved in an EX approval.
• in a Packing Group I certified package (per the hazardous materials table). While explosives are packaged as PG II by default, this alternative method uses PG I packaging, a higher standard than PG II.
• only combination packagings with inner packagings not exceeding 3.6 kg (8 pounds) net mass are authorized. Inner packagings must be arranged and protected so as to prevent simultaneous ignition of the contents.
• 49 CFR 173.171 allows the configurations authorized in an EX approval to be modified as follows. Different brands and sizes of approved flammable solid smokeless powder inner packages may be combined in a 4G fiberboard box tested to Packing Group I, but not necessarily tested with the mixture of packages just described. All inside containers must be packed to prevent shifting (e.g. with packing materials), and the net weight of smokeless powder in any one box may not exceed 7.3 kg (16 pounds) or the certified gross weight capacity of the specification outer packaging, whichever is lower. There is no 16 pound limit for authorized packages which do not use this provision, except on aircraft, e.g. a box might contain six 5-pound bottles, but if this is modified with other brands or sizes then the 16 pounds net limit applies.

Citation: 49 CFR 172.101, 49 CFR 171.171(c) and (d)

SHIPPING PAPER REQUIREMENTS

1) Shipping description together and in order with no other information interspersed:

“NA 3178, Smokeless powder for small arms, 4.1, PG I”.

2) The total quantity before or after the shipping description, in pounds and/or kilograms (lb or kg), covered by the shipping description.

3) The number and type of packages, before or after the shipping description, e.g. “10 boxes” or “10 drums”. Commonly understood abbreviations may be used, e.g. “bx” or “drm”.

4) Since this is a flammable solid, there is no EX marking or shipping paper requirement, and no net explosives quantity required.

CARTON MARKING

Packages containing flammable solid smokeless powder must display the following on one side:

Label: Flammable solid hazard label

Markings

1) Identification number: “NA 3178” ½” tall, or ¼” tall for 30 kg max, or an appropriate size for 5 kg max;

2) Proper shipping name: “SMOKELESS POWDER FOR SMALL ARMS”;

3) the specification package marking.

4) In addition, each carton may have to be marked with the consignor’s or the consignee’s name and address, see 49 CFR §172.301(d) for exceptions.*

5) Since this is a flammable solid, there is no EX number marking requirement.

Citation: 49 CFR §172.301; 172.400

* Per 49 CFR §172.301(d), the package must be marked with the consignor or consignee’s name and address unless the package is:

(1) Transported by highway only and will not be transferred from one carrier to the other;

(2) Part of a carload lot, truckload lot or freight container load, and the entire contents of the rail car, truck or freight container are shipped from one consignor to one consignee.

OVERPACKS

The “OVERPACK” marking is only required if the package markings and label are not visible at least once, in which case the  “overpack” marking (e.g. sticker) is required on only one side of the pallet or overpack box, and the UN number, proper shipping name and hazard label must be replicated, preferably next to the overpack marking..

Remington policy is to apply the overpack and package markings and labels to all pallets, regardless of visibility of product underneath. The Overpack sticker can be replaced by a sheet of paper or label that says “OVERPACK” in 1/2″ letters or bigger, e.g. on a paper list of goods applied to the overpack.
