Key Details
The following table summarizes the classification conclusions and technical findings from the identification report for the CL5.
| Classification Field | Result |
|---|---|
| UN Number (UN No.) | / (Not Applicable) |
| Proper Shipping Name (PSN) | / (Not Applicable) |
| Class or Division | / (Not Applicable) |
| Packing Group (PG) | / (Not Applicable) |
| Overall Classification | Not Restricted As per ADR Special Provision 188 |
| Regulatory Status | Not Subject to Dangerous Goods Regulations (IATA/ADR) |
The classification result of Not Restricted under ADR Special Provision 188 means the CL5 may be transported without the full dangerous goods documentation requirements that apply to unrestricted lithium battery shipments, provided all packaging and labeling conditions under SP188 are met.
Key Technical Compliance Points
- The watt-hour rating of the battery is 17.64 Wh, which falls within the threshold for SP188 exemption (≤ 20 Wh per cell for lithium ion cells).
- Each battery type has been proven to meet all tests in UN Manual of Tests and Criteria, Part III, Sub-section 38.3.
- Batteries are manufactured under a quality management programme.
- These batteries are not returned-to-manufacturer units, not waste batteries, and not batteries shipped for recycling or disposal.
- Each package is capable of withstanding a 1.2 m drop test in any orientation.
- Packages must be appropriately marked according to Special Provision 188, including handling warnings, flammability hazard notices, emergency contact information, and instructions for damaged packages.
Standards & Compliance
The identification and classification of the CL5 battery was conducted against the following regulatory frameworks and standards:
| Standard / Regulation | Scope |
|---|---|
| UN38.3 (UN Manual of Tests and Criteria, Part III, Sub-section 38.3) | Lithium battery type testing — altitude simulation, thermal, vibration, shock, external short circuit, impact/crush, overcharge, forced discharge |
| ADR 2025 | European Agreement concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road — identification criteria applied |
| ADR 2025 Special Provision 188 | Exemption conditions for small lithium cells/batteries contained in equipment with ≤ 20 Wh per cell |
The issuing laboratory, Beijing DGM Air Transport Technology Development Co., Ltd., holds CNAS accreditation number 1IB0078, which is the Chinese National Accreditation Service for Conformity Assessment. This accreditation confirms that DGM China’s testing and identification activities meet international competence standards aligned with ISO/IEC 17025.
