Compliance hinges on thorough documentation:
- UN38.3 Test Summary: Mandatory proof of passing T.1–T.8 tests (e.g., crush, overcharge) for cell/battery designs.
- Labels & Marks: Class 9 hazard labels, UN numbers (3480/3481), lithium battery marks with contact info, and orientation arrows for liquid components.
- Shipping Documents: Dangerous Goods Declaration (DGD) with packing instruction (e.g., IMDG P903), Safety Data Sheets (SDS), and emergency contacts.
- CTU Code Alignment: Follow IMO/ILO/UNECE CTU Code for cargo securing. Retain photos of dunnage, load, and seals.
- Special Cases: Containerized BESS requires IEC 62619/UL 9540 certifications and transport isolation proof. SOLAS VGM must be declared via weighing or calculation.
