Packaging groups, special provisions and packaging instructions for UN-compliant transport
Lithium batteries fall under Class 9 of the Dangerous Goods Classification, which means that these goods pose a significant risk to the environment during transport. Consequently, numerous regulations and guidelines must be adhered to when transporting lithium batteries. The BSK1 fire safety case has been specially developed to comply with the relevant packaging instructions for transport!
The battery box is certified for Packing Group II
The Genius BSK1 fire protection case meets the requirements of Packing Group II, which means that substances with a medium level of hazard may be transported in it. To achieve this classification, the case must be type-tested and withstand a drop from a height of 1.2 metres.
Suitable for transport 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 set out in their respective manuals 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, have been identified as defective for safety reasons, or could no longer be diagnosed prior to transport. These cells must then be packed in accordance with Packing Instruction P 908. According to this guideline, it must, for example, be ensured that any electrolyte released is absorbed, and a non-electrically conductive thermal insulator must ensure that the surroundings are protected against dangerous heat build-up.
For storage, transport and recycling in accordance with Special Provision 377 of the ADR and Packing Instruction P 909
Special Provision SV 377 governs the transport of lithium-ion cells or batteries and lithium-metal cells or batteries that are being transported for disposal or recycling. As with Packing Instruction P 908, the guidelines for Packing Group II must be complied with in P 909. In addition, restrictions apply to the nominal energy and weight of lithium-ion cells and batteries.
Transport of prototypes in accordance with Special Provision 310 of the ADR and Packing Instruction P 910
Special Provision SV 310 governs the transport of prototypes of lithium-ion cells or batteries and lithium-metal cells or batteries. Packing Instruction P 910 then sets out, amongst other things, requirements for packaging and the mass of the dangerous goods.
VdS 3103 : 2019-06 (03) – Lithium batteries

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.
