Product information „NEFAB 1210EC single-use transport crate made of corrugated cardboard“
Brief overview
The NEFAB 1210EC transport crate is a UN-compliant, single-use, large-volume corrugated cardboard packaging solution designed for the transport of lithium-ion batteries. It is suitable for larger batteries and battery modules. As it is made of corrugated cardboard, the empty weight is only approx. 35 kg.
In its basic configuration, the 1210EC can be used for lithium-ion batteries in accordance with LP903. For damaged or defective batteries in accordance with LP904, as well as for prototypes in accordance with LP905, an additional packaging configuration tailored to the specific transport scenario is required.
The NEFAB 1210EC transport crate is designed as single-use packaging. It is therefore particularly suitable for transport processes where there are no plans to return the packaging.
Scope of delivery
The standard version of the NEFAB 1210EC transport crate comprises:
- Disposable transport container made of corrugated cardboard
- Base frame / pallet
- Cover or lid
- 6 fastening slots for securing the load
The battery can be secured using up to three suitable lashing straps through the designated securing slots. The required lashing straps are not included in the scope of delivery and can be ordered separately. For transport in accordance with LP904 or LP905, additional internal packaging and protective components are required.
Optional accessories
Depending on the battery’s condition and transport requirements, the NEFAB 1210EC can be supplemented with the following components, amongst others:
- NEFAB KULI 35 lashing strap, 35 mm wide, 5 m long, LC 2,000 daN
- LiB fire protection blanket
- Liquid-tight inner packaging / PE flat film
- Markings and dangerous goods labels
- Customised inner packaging set for damaged or defective batteries (excluding those with critical defects)

Safety and protection features
The NEFAB 1210EC transport crate is designed as a large-volume packaging for dangerous goods with the code 50G/Y. This means the packaging is designated for packaging groups II and III. The sturdy corrugated cardboard construction provides mechanical protection for the battery during handling and transport.
Six securing slots are provided for load securing. The battery can be secured using three lashing straps. Straps with a width of 25 mm / 800 daN or 35 mm / 2,000 daN can be used for this purpose. The straps must be ordered separately.
The basic configuration is not sufficient for damaged or defective batteries. For transport in accordance with LP904, an additional packaging assembly is required. NEFAB specifies a LiB fire protection blanket and a liquid-tight inner packaging for this purpose. Corresponding additional components are also provided for prototype transport in accordance with LP905.
Areas of application
The NEFAB 1210EC transport crate is suitable for various transport tasks involving lithium-ion batteries. The required packaging configuration must be used depending on the condition of the battery.
Typical applications include:
- Transport of new and used lithium-ion batteries
- Spare parts and after-sales logistics
- End-of-life batteries with the appropriate packaging configuration
- Batteries for disposal or recycling
- Second-life applications
- Defective batteries (non-critically defective) with appropriate internal packaging set
- Prototypes with appropriate packaging configuration
- Automotive and battery services
Approvals / Standards
The NEFAB 1210EC transport crate is designed as a UN large packaging for dangerous goods with the code 50G. The UN packaging code is:
UN 50G/Y/MMYR/F/NEFAB/BVT 182856/965/536
The designation ‘Y’ indicates that the packaging is suitable for packaging groups II and III.
Depending on the battery condition and packaging configuration, the following packaging instructions are particularly relevant:
- ADR packaging instructions: LP903, LP904 and LP905 – depending on the condition of the battery and the packaging configuration
The NEFAB standard range is also certified as compliant with ADR, IMDG, RID, UN Recommendations, CFR 49 and ICAO/IATA.
The specific suitability of the packaging must be checked before every transport of dangerous goods, taking into account the battery condition, dimensions, weight and the applicable dangerous goods regulations.
Instructions for use
Before each use, the transport container and all its components must be checked for damage and to ensure they are in good condition. Damaged packaging must not be used. The battery must be secured against movement inside the container using suitable lashing equipment at the designated fixing points.
Before transport, it must also be ensured that the cover is correctly attached to and secured to the base frame. The base frame is accessible from all four sides by industrial trucks.
In the case of defective batteries and prototypes, it must be checked prior to transport which additional internal packaging and protective components are required in accordance with LP904 or LP905.
Conclusion
The NEFAB 1210EC transport crate is a lightweight, single-use, large-volume corrugated cardboard packaging solution for the transport of larger lithium-ion batteries. It is particularly suitable for transport processes where there are no plans to return reusable packaging.
Depending on the packaging configuration, the 1210EC can be used for transport in accordance with LP903, LP904 and LP905.

FAQ
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.
