Liquids or mixtures of liquids, or liquids containing solids in solution or suspension which give off flammable vapours at or below 60ºC in a closed- cup (cc) called the Flashpoint. (Gasoline, isopropanol, xylenes, Ethanol)  Classification Class 3 – Flammable Liquids Flash point: For all dangerous goods transported by ground transport which have a flash point at or below 60 degrees Celsius , the TDGR requires an indication of the flash point after the proper shipping name only by marine. The flash point must be indicated for materials with a primary or subsidiary Class 3 hazard.  Classification Class 3 – Flammable Liquids Flash Point must be shown by ship only. Packing groups change by their Flash Point, Boiling Point, and Viscosity. These comprise liquids or mixtures of liquids or liquids containing solids in solution or in suspension. When unknown, you may select PG I When reasonably sure to be PG II or III, you may select PG II  Classification FLAMMABLE VS. COMBUSTIBLE LIQUIDS NFPA splits flammable liquids into two types: flammable and combustible. Flammable liquids are liquids that can burn, or rather, the vapor they give off can burn. Generally, flammable liquids are more hazardous and harder to extinguish. Combustible liquids are harder to ignite because they usually need some kind of ignition source and are simpler to extinguish. Due to this, flammable and combustible liquids are ranked from most hazardous to least hazardous. In other words, the lower a liquid’s flash point the more hazardous it is. NFPA Flammable Liquid Types Type Flash Point Range Flammable < 100°F (38°C) Liquids Combustible ≥ 100°F (38°C) Liquids  Classification DOES THE LIQUIDS ITSELF BURN OR THE VAPOR? This is probably the most common question we get about combustible and flammable liquids. It is the vapor that builds up on the surface of the liquid that burns, not the liquid itself. These vapors can be present even at room temperatures. Depending on the volatility of the liquid, when these vapors mix with air and other substances (like water) it can trigger a reaction.  Classification Most often, these vapors are heavier than air so they will find the lowest point on the room to rest and can travel away from the source. This is why good ventilation is so important in any area with flammable and combustible liquids to ensure there is no vapor buildup.  Classification Class 4 – Flammable Solids; Substances Liable to Spontaneous Combustion; Substances That on Contact with Water Emit Flammable Gases (Water-reactive Substances)  4.1 Flammable Solids ✓ Ex.

When corrosive materials touch your skin, they will immediately start to dissolve your flesh, leaving burns. If corrosive substances come in contact with your eyes, they can have very severe effects such as; damaging the cornea and even causing blindness. There are 2 main types of corrosive substances - Acids and Bases. Acids are corrosive substances that; Some examples of common acids include: Will neutralize alkalis Turn blue litmus paper red.

For the purposes of the DGR they are separated into: Lithium metal batteries. Are generally primary (non-rechargeable) batteries that have lithium metal or lithium compounds as an anode. Also included within lithium metal are lithium alloy batteries. Lithium metal batteries are generally used to power devices such as watches, calculators, cameras, temperature data loggers, car key fobs and defibrillators.  Classification Class 9 - Miscellaneous Products Technical definition of a battery and cell, as indicated in the UN Manual of Tests and Criteria, is as follows: Battery means two or more cells which are electrically connected together and fitted with devices necessary for use, for example, case, terminals, marking and protective devices. Units which have two or more cells that are commonly referred to as "battery packs", "modules" or "battery assemblies" having the primary function of providing a source of power to another piece of equipment.  Classification Class 9 - Miscellaneous Products Button cell or battery means a round small cell or battery when the overall height is less than the diameter. Cell means a single encased electrochemical unit (one positive and one negative electrode) which exhibits a voltage differential across its two terminals. Under the UN Model Regulations, UN Manual of Tests and Criteria and this guidance, to the extent the encased electrochemical unit meets the definition of “cell” herein, it is a “cell”, not a “battery”, regardless of whether the unit is termed a “battery” or a “single cell battery” outside of the UN Model Regulations, the UN Manual of Tests and Criteria and this guidance.  Classification Col.6a Col.9 Col.8 Col.4 Explosive Passenger Carrying Col.2 Col.5 Col.6b Col.7 Passenger Col.1 Col.3 Packing Limit Road Vehicle or Shipping Name and Special Excepted ERAP Carrying UN Number Class Group / and Limited Passenger Carrying Description Provisions Quantities Index Vessel Category Quantity Railway Vehicle Index Index Index UN3481 LITHIUM ION 9 34 0 E0 5 kg SOR/2017- BATTERIES 123 137 CONTAINED IN 137 EQUIPMENT 138 (including lithium 159 ion polymer batteries); or LITHIUM ION BATTERIES PACKED WITH EQUIPMENT (including lithium ion polymer batteries)  Classification UN3090 LITHIUM 9 34, 123, 137, 0 E0 5 kg METAL 138, 149, 159 BATTERIES (including lithium alloy batteries) UN3091 LITHIUM 9 34, 123, 137, 0 E0 5 kg METAL 138, 159 BATTERIES CONTAINED IN EQUIPMENT (including lithium alloy batteries); or LITHIUM METAL BATTERIES PACKED WITH EQUIPMENT (including lithium alloy batteries)  Classification Class 9 - Miscellaneous Products Technical definition of a battery and cell, as indicated in the UN Manual of Tests and Criteria, is as follows: Battery means two or more cells which are electrically connected together and fitted with devices necessary for use, for example, case, terminals, marking and protective devices.

For the purposes of the TDGR they are separated into: Lithium metal and – UN 3090 and 3091 Lithium Ion batteries - UN 3480 and 3481  Classification Lithium Batteries Lithium metal versus lithium ion batteries A lithium metal battery: is usually non-rechargeable contains metallic lithium features a higher energy density than other non-rechargeable batteries Lithium metal batteries are often used in calculators, pacemakers, remote car locks and watches, to name a few. A lithium ion battery: is rechargeable doesn’t contain metallic lithium features high energy density A lithium polymer battery is considered a type of lithium ion battery. Lithium ion batteries are used in consumer products such as cell phones, electric vehicles, laptop computers, power tools and tablets.  Classification Lithium Batteries Lithium Batteries are classified as a Dangerous Good under the TDG and have specific handling, packaging and shipping requirements. Lithium Ion and Metal batteries shipped under the Special Provision #34 do not require dg paperwork, and only require the appropriate handling label. Which one of these labels would you use for this product? Classification When lithium batteries overheat or catch fire they go into what’s known as thermal runaway. This happens when one cell in a battery overheats it can produce enough heat – up to 900°C (1652°F) – to cause adjacent cells to overheat. This can cause a lithium battery fire to flare repeatedly and they are very difficult to put out.  Classification Under the UN Model Regulations, UN Manual of Tests and Criteria and this guidance, to the extent the encased electrochemical unit meets the definition of “cell” herein, it is a “cell”, not a “battery”, regardless of whether the unit is termed a “battery” or a “single cell battery” outside of the UN Model Regulations, the UN Manual of Tests and Criteria and this guidance. All Li Ion/Metal batteries must be tested using Part III, 38.3 of the UN Manual of Tests and Criteria.  Classification Test Requirements according to the UN Manual of Tests and Criteria Part III, Subsection 38.3  Classification Class 9 - Miscellaneous Products  Classification Different types Li batteries Classification  Classification Class 9 - Miscellaneous Products Once one cell within a battery goes into thermal runaway it can produce enough heat to cause adjacent cells to sympathetically react. This can produce smoke, fire and fumes that can repeatedly flare up as each battery cell in turn ruptures and releases its contents. Lithium batteries are the most common type of battery that most often features with regards to in-flight incidents. Often it is overheating, which eventually triggers ignition in equipment and batteries that, unknown to the user, may be faulty in some way. While the carriage and use of PEDs does not present an overwhelming risk to flight safety, there are potential risks due to the inability to gain access to devices during a thermal runaway/overheating event.  Classification What is the capacity (Watt Hour* rating) of your battery? Cells Cells < 20 WH > 20 WH Or Batteries Or Batteries < 100 WH > 100 WH Cell → a single electrochemical unit Battery → a number of cells electrically connected to each other and packed together in a common housing  Classification How to Calculate the Watt-hour (Wh) Rating The Wh rating must appear on the battery case if it was made on or after January 1, 2009. If it is not there, you can calculate the Wh rating by using one of these formulas: 1. If you know the nominal voltage (V) and the capacity in ampere-hours (Ah), then Wh = (V) x (Ah); or 2. If you know the nominal voltage (V) and the capacity in milliampere-hours (mAh), then Wh = (V) x (mAh ÷ 1000). If you are still not sure what your lithium battery's Wh rating, contact its manufacturer  Classification Button cell or battery means a round small cell or battery when the overall height is less than the diameter. Cell means a single encased electrochemical unit (one positive and one negative electrode) which exhibits a voltage differential across its two terminals.  Classification Calculate Lithium Content (grams) for Lithium Metal Batteries The calculation used to determine lithium content is: Ah per cell x 0.3 grams x number of cells Many batteries are not rated in Ampere hours (Ah), they are rated in milliamperes hours (mAh). Milliampere hours are one thousandth of an ampere hour. To determine the Ah, divide the mAh by 1,000. Example: The battery you wish to ship is rated at 2,500 mAh per cell and contains 6 cells: Divide 2,500 mAh by 1,000 to get the rating in Ah: 2,500 mAh ÷ 1,000 = 2.5 Ah Multiply the Ah by 0.3 gm to determine the amount of Lithium in each cell: 2.5 x 0.3 gm = 0.75 grams of lithium in each cell Multiply the amount of lithium in each cell by the number of cells in each battery: 0.75 grams/cell x 6 = 4.5 grams of lithium in the battery Documentation  Documentation  The shipper must ensure that all shipments of dangerous goods are accompanied by a shipping document.  The document can be in the form of an electronic copy or any other form of documentation.
