by the alkaline solution inside it.
14. Transport information (Non-mandatory)
In general, all batteries in all forms of transportation (ground, air, or ocean) must be packaged in a
safe and responsible manner. Regulatory concerns from all agencies for safe packaging require that
batteries be packaged in a manner that prevents short circuits and be contained in “strong outer

packaging” that prevents spillage of contents. All original packaging for Maxell alkaline batteries has
been designed to be compliant with these regulatory concerns.
Alkaline batteries (sometimes referred to as “Dry cell” batteries) are not listed as dangerous goods
under the ADR European Agreement Concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by
Road, the IMDG International Maritime Dangerous Goods Code, UN Dangerous Good Regulations,
IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations 56th edition, ICAO Technical Instructions and the U.S.
hazardous materials regulations (49 CFR). These batteries are not subject to the dangerous goods
regulations provided they meet the requirements contained in the following special provisions
.
ADR Not regulated
IMDG Not regulated
UN Not regulated
US DOT 49 CFR 172.102 Provision 130
IATA A123 (56th Edition)
ICAO Not regulated
All Maxell alkaline batteries are packed in such a way to prevent short circuits or the generation
dangerous quantities of heat and meet the special provisions listed above. In addition, the IATA
Dangerous Goods Regulations and ICAO Technical Instructions require the words “not restricted”
and the Special Provision number A123 be provided on the air waybill, when an air waybill is issued.
