                                                    Unregulated by DOT for transportation by Road Rail , Sea and Air, because they meet the requirements of :

                                                    49 CFR 173.159 (d)

                                                    The only transportation requirements are:

                                                       * The batteries must be securely packed in such a way as to prevent the possibility of short circuiting

                                                       * The battery and outer packaging must be labelled "NONSPILLABLE BATTERY"

INTERNATIONAL AIR                  These batteries are unregulated for air transport because they meet the requirements of : Special Provision "A 67" as promulgated by the                                                                    International Civil Aviation Association    

                                                   (IATA) and (ICAO)

TRANSPORT ASSOCIATION        They also meet the vibration and Pressure Differential Tests of the International Maritime Dangerous Goods (IMDG) regulations.

PRODUCT SAFETY DATA

​

We hereby certify that all AGM (sealed lead acid) batteries and GEL type batteries supplied by MANBAT Ltd. conform to UN2800,  Class 8" wet non-spillable electrical storage". Also under the IATA Dangerous, Goods Regulations they meet the requirements to conform to special provision "A67" classifying them as non-dangerous goods. They are therefore EXEMPT from the subject regulations for dangerous goods and are acceptable for transport by Air Sea Rail Road.
