Each consignment must be accompanied with a document such as an air waybill with an indication that:
• the package contains lithium metal cells or batteries;
• the package must be handled with care and that a flammability hazard exists if the package is damaged;
• special procedures should be followed in the event the package is damaged, to include inspection and repacking if necessary; and
• a telephone number for additional information.
Each package must be labelled with a lithium battery handling label (Figure 7.4.I);
Any person preparing or offering cells or batteries for transport must receive adequate instruction on these requirements commensurate with their responsibilities.
