International, national, and regional governments, as well as other authorities, have developed regulations for air, road, rail, and sea transportation of lithium batteries and the products that incorporate these batteries. The regulations govern conduct, actions, procedures, and arrangements.
Guidelines for international air transportation of new, undamaged, non-small-size Li-ion batteries. For standalone Li-ion batteries, UN 3480 packaging instruction 965 (PI965), effective from 1 April 2016, requires that the state of charge (SOC) of these batteries must not exceed 30% of their rated design capacity when they are transported.
Currently, it is strongly recommended that when offered for air transport, equipment that is packed with, or contains, lithium-ion batteries, and vehicles powered by lithium-ion batteries have the batteries at a state of charge not exceeding 30% of their rated capacity.
Chinese airlines' transport regulations for low-production-run or prototype lithium batteries, lithium batteries being shipped for recycling or disposal, and damaged or defective lithium batteries are in accordance with those introduced in Section 3.2.
