Transportation Information
 WARNING:TheScanner2000microEFMcontainslithiumbatteries.Theinternalcomponent
(thionylchloride)ishazardousunderthecriteriaoftheFederalOHSAHazardCommunication
Standard29CFR1920.1200.Beforeshippingalithiumbatteryorequipmentcontaininga
lithiumbattery,verifythatthepackagingandlabelingconformswiththelatestversionofall
applicableregulations.
The transport of the lithium batteries is regulated by the United Nations, “Model Regulations on Transport of
Dangerous Goods,” (special provisions 188, 230, and 310), latest revision.
Within the US the lithium batteries and cells are subject to shipping requirements under Part 49 of the Code
of Federal Regulations (49 CFR, Parts 171, 172, 173, and 175) of the US Hazardous Materials Regulations
(HMR), latest revision.
Shipping of lithium batteries in aircraft is regulated by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO)
and the International Air Transport Association (IATA) requirements in Special Provisions A45, A88 and A99,
latest revision.
Shipping of lithium batteries on sea is regulated the International Maritime Dangerous Goods (IMDG)
requirements in special provisions 188, 230 and 310, latest revision.
Shipping of lithium batteries on road and rail is regulated by requirements in special provisions 188, 230 and
310, latest revision.
LithiumBatteryDisposal
Once a lithium battery is removed from a device and/or is destined for disposal, it is classied as solid waste
under EPA guidelines. Depleted lithium batteries are also considered to be hazardous waste because they meet
the denition of Reactivity, as per 40 CFR 261.23(a)(2), (3) and (5). This document describes how the lithium
reacts violently with water, forms potentially explosive mixtures with water, and when exposed to certain pH
conditions, generates toxic cyanide or sulde gases.
Federal law requires that depleted lithium battery packs be sent to a fully permitted Treatment, Storage and
Disposal Facility (TSDF) or to a permitted recycling/reclamation facility.
