When damaged or short-circuited, lithium batteries can experience what’s called
which is a fancy way of saying they catch fire, explode, send out jets of flaming material, etc. This risk, especially on airplanes, has prompted increased regulation of lithium battery shipping. Two of the major governing organizations are:
US DOT Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA)
International Air Transport Association (IATA)
Cargo carriers and foreign countries can impose their own restrictions and requirements.
On August 6, 2014, PHMSA* and the FAA issued new requirements for shipping lithium batteries.
Mandatory compliance begins February 6, 2015. Shippers will need to determine:
