Packaging groups, special regulations and packaging instructions for UN-compliant transportation
Lithium batteries fall into dangerous goods class 9, which means that the goods pose a risk to the environment during transportation that should not be underestimated. Numerous specifications and guidelines must therefore be observed when transporting lithium batteries. The BSK1 fire protection case has been specially developed to reflect the relevant packaging instructions for transportation!
Battery box is certified for packaging group II
The Genius BSK1 fire protection case meets the requirements of packaging group II, which means that substances with a medium hazard potential may be transported in it. To achieve this classification, the box must be type-tested and withstand a drop height of 1.2 m.
Suitable for transportation in accordance with SV 376 of the ADR and packing instruction P 908
All lithium-ion cells or batteries and lithium-metal cells or batteries that have been damaged and no longer comply with the applicable regulations according to their manual must comply with the provisions of Special Provision 376 (SV 376). This applies, for example, to cells that have leaked or degassed, have suffered external or mechanical damage or have been identified as defective for safety reasons or could no longer be diagnosed prior to transportation. These cells must then be packed in accordance with packing instruction P 908. According to this directive, for example, it must be ensured that any electrolytes released are absorbed and a non-electrically conductive thermal insulation material must ensure that the environment is protected from dangerous heat generation.
For storage, transportation and recycling in accordance with SV 377 of the ADR and packaging instruction P 909
Special provision SV 377 regulates the transportation of lithium-ion cells or batteries and lithium-metal cells or batteries that are transported for disposal or recycling. Similar to packing instruction P 908, guidelines for packing group II must be observed in P 909. In addition, restrictions on the nominal energy and weight of the lithium-ion cells and batteries apply.
Prototype transports according to SV 310 of the ADR and packing instruction P 910
The special provision SV 310 regulates the transportation of prototypes of lithium-ion cells or batteries and lithium-metal cells or batteries. Packaging instruction P 910 then specifies, among other things, requirements for packaging and the mass of dangerous goods.
VdS 3103 : 2019-06 (03) - Lithium batteries
To date, there are no legal requirements for the storage and provision of lithium batteries in public areas.

That depends on various factors that need to be considered:
- size of the battery(ies)
- condition (e.g. non-critical, defective, critically defective or prototype)
- power
Transport boxes are available in many different sizes and specifications. The packaging group for which the box is suitable is indicated for each product.

Even if the batteries are not critical, remember to protect them from shocks and to order appropriate filling material if it is not already included in the box.
Yes. Should a battery reach a critical state and cause a fire, separating the batteries will prevent the fire from spreading and multiplying.
Generally, the insulation and protection material should line all sides of the container. The batteries are stored between individual layers.
We also have containers in our program that already have the protective material integrated into the outer wall. No further protective layer is necessary here.
The technical principles for storage and transportation solutions are very similar. The transport boxes are also subjected to extensive tests in accordance with ADR (drop test, fire test, etc.) to confirm compliance with the ADR regulations. The packaging regulations are extensive and regulated by law.
There are currently no comparable regulations for storage. Nevertheless, manufacturers of storage boxes regularly carry out appropriate tests.
The right container depends on the type and size of the battery to be shipped or stored.

The transportation of batteries is subject to ADR regulations.
The number, size and weight, energy density and condition of the batteries are crucial parameters for finding a suitable transport container for lithium-ion batteries. The selection process is complex and should be carried out by appropriately trained personnel. We have a trained hazardous materials officer on our team. Please feel free to contact us.
Plastic containers are cheaper but not as durable as metal containers. They are suitable, for example, for non-critical batteries, defective batteries, prototypes and end-of-life batteries. They can be used for both storage and transportation.
Metal containers are required, for example, when dealing with critically defective batteries.
The exact packaging instructions for these cases can be found in the ADR or by consulting a certified hazardous materials specialist.
To date, there are no legal requirements for the storage of lithium-ion batteries, which does not mean that they should be stored without suitable protective measures.
It is best to check with your insurer to find out which measures they recognize as suitable in the event of a claim.
For example, a suitable box could already be recognized as spatial separation.
