Markings for sodium-ion batteries: Multilateral agreement M 354
A groundbreaking development in the world of battery labeling is coming our way with the Multilateral Agreement M 354. According to section 1.5.1 of the ADR, there is a new regulation for the labeling of NATRIUM ION BATTERIES with organic electrolyte, whether loose or packed in equipment. This agreement opens up the possibility of transporting such batteries under specific conditions as UN 3551 NATRIUM ION BATTERIES or UN 3552 NATRIUM ION BATTERIES IN EQUIPMENT or PACKED WITH EQUIPMENT, provided that all relevant construction and testing requirements are met.

The implementation of the agreement requires:

  • Strict compliance with the specific construction and testing requirements for the batteries.
  • The use of safety devices and effective protective measures.
  • Labeling in accordance with the relevant regulations and models.
  • Following the packaging instructions in accordance with the established guidelines.

In addition to the above provisions, the following points must be observed:

  • Special provisions: The provisions of ADR (Section 3.3.1) refer to the use of SODIUM ION BATTERIES and CELLS instead of LITHIUM ION BATTERIES. Special provisions 188, 230, 310, 348, 376, 377, 384 and 667 apply, reading „sodium ion“ instead of „lithium ion“.
  • Identification: Identification is carried out in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.2.2 and corresponds to the dangerous goods label in accordance with Model 9A. If special provision 188 is applied, the packaging must also be marked with the lithium battery symbol according to Figure 5.2.1.9.2 of the ADR. It is also permitted to label packaging without specifying the UN number.
  • Packing instructions: Packaging instructions P903, P908, P909, P910, P911, LP903, LP904, LP905 and LP906 from Section 4.1.4.1 of the ADR are applicable, reading „sodium ion“ instead of „lithium ion“.
  • Documentation: The sender must indicate „CARRIAGE IN ACCORDANCE WITH MULTILATERAL AGREEMENT M 354“ on the transport document.
  • Compliance with all other relevant provisions of ADR.

Umbrella term dangerous goods

In the field of transport and logistics, dangerous goods are substances, preparations and objects that contain ingredients which, due to their nature or properties - whether physical or chemical - or their condition during transport, may pose certain risks to public safety or order, in particular to the general public, important public goods, human life and health, animals and property, and which are to be classified as dangerous goods by law.

Placards in large print

Placards are square, diamond-shaped stickers for transporting dangerous goods and are attached standing on their tips. The colour and number of the hazard label usually indicates the class of dangerous goods. Placards are used to mark dangerous goods on trucks. For example, the colour and the pictogram provide rescue workers with information at first glance about the expected dangers at the accident site. Placards are subject to strict legal requirements that must be strictly adhered to when printing and affixing them.
