Packaging Instruction 967

Equipment Containment

Outer boxes must protect inner mechanisms from accidental activation during transit. Shippers secure appliances inside rigid fiberboard containers designed to prevent shifting loads from damaging power cells. Securing devices inside crates eliminates internal movement that generates friction between terminals and conductive surfaces.

Manufacturers test outer receptacles through simulated vibration cycles to prove resistance against operational hazards. Regulatory authorities inspect these containment assemblies prior to freight acceptance to confirm compliance with modal restrictions.

Mass Limit

Maximum allowable weight per package restricts individual shipments to twenty kilograms of active cells. Consignors calculate total aggregate mass by summing individual units within each separate outer receptacle. Exceeding specified thresholds forces shippers to reclassify cargo into stricter hazard categories requiring specialized documentation.

Compliance officers audit weight manifests during terminal intake procedures to enforce upper boundaries on consignment size. Thermal dissipation limits dictate these mass ceilings by restricting potential heat accumulation inside closed cargo holds.

Documentation Protocol

Shippers execute mandatory hazard statements verifying that equipment houses cells meeting specific UN testing criteria. Transport documents display explicit numerical identifiers pointing directly to modal manuals governing lithium power distribution. Airline acceptance agents examine completed waybills alongside physical freight to verify absolute correspondence between paperwork and cargo.

Cargo handlers reject shipments lacking proper hazard classification markers regardless of physical packaging strength. Regulatory compliance guarantees safe handling through every transfer point until final destination delivery occurs.
