A lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery is a rechargeable battery widely used in consumer electronics, electric vehicles, and aerospace applications due to its high energy density and long lifespan. The key components of a lithium-ion battery include the graphite anode, metal oxide cathode, and lithium salt electrolyte. However, lithium-ion batteries can pose safety risks, especially if damaged or improperly handled. This makes the **UN3481 Lithium Battery Handling Mark** indispensable for transport.

The UN3481 Lithium Battery Handling Label applies to lithium-ion and lithium metal batteries that are either contained in or packed with equipment. This label falls under the UN Model Regulations, categorising lithium batteries because of their potential risks, including overheating, ignition, or even explosion if mishandled. These hazards make it essential for lithium battery transportation to adhere to the proper guidelines, such as using the UN3481 lithium battery label.

The DG Regulations state that “Personnel must be trained in the requirements commensurate with their responsibilities”. This applies to all modes of transport and liability rests with the signatory on the shipping document and the consignor.

2. Facilitating Proper Handling and Storage: The label provides guidance on handling and storing lithium batteries, helping avoid conditions that could lead to accidents.

4. Supporting Emergency Response: In emergencies, the label provides responders with crucial information, aiding in rapid and appropriate action.

All Labeline’s classroom (and remote classroom) courses can be delivered at your premises and tailored to suit your business requirements.

1. Mitigating Safety Hazards: Lithium batteries can overheat, catch fire, or explode if mishandled. This label helps prevent such incidents by ensuring careful handling.
