APPENDIX
App. - 4
(5) Transportation precaution for customers
For sea or air transportation, attaching the handling label (Fig. app. 1) must be attached to the
package of battery. In addition, attaching it to the outer package containing several packages of
batteries is also required. When the content of a package must be handled as dangerous goods
(Class 9), the Shipper's Declaration for Dangerous Goods is required, and the package must be
compliant with Class 9 Packages. Documentations like the handling label in the specified design and
the Shipper's Declaration for Dangerous Goods are required for transportation. Please attach the
documentations to the packages and the outer package.
The IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations are revised, and the requirements are changed annually.
When customers transport lithium batteries by themselves, the responsibility for the cargo lies with the
customers. Thus, be sure to check the latest version of the IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations.
App. 3 Symbol for the new EU Battery Directive
Symbol for the new EU Battery Directive (2006/66/EC) that is plastered to general-purpose AC servo
battery is explained here.
This symbol mark is according to the directive 2006/66/EC Article 20 Information for end-users and Annex
II.
Product is designed and manufactured with high quality materials and components which can be recycled
and/or reused.
This symbol means that batteries and accumulators, at their end-of-life, should be disposed of separately
from your household waste.
If a chemical symbol is printed beneath the symbol shown above, this chemical symbol means that the
battery or accumulator contains a heavy metal at a certain concentration.
This will be indicated as follows.
Hg: mercury (0.0005%), Cd: cadmium (0.002%), Pb: lead (0.004%)
In the European Union there are separate collection systems for used batteries and accumulators. Please,
dispose of batteries and accumulators correctly at your local community waste collection/recycling center.
Please, help us to conserve the environment we live in!
