ue to the PG designations being removed for these articles, beginning January 1, 2015, descriptions for these items on a Shipper’s Declaration for Dangerous Goods—as required by DGR 8.1.6.9.1—will no longer include the PG. For example, prior to January 2015, the description for Lithium metal batteries was, “UN 3090, Lithium metal batteries, 9, PG II.” From January 2015 forward, the description will be, “UN 3090, Lithium metal batteries, 9.”
