MSDS Preparation and Shipping Requirements for Exported Lithium (LFP) Battery Enclosures
Machine translated
I am inquiring regarding the MSDS for exported lithium (LFP) battery enclosures used for communication backup. The product consists of batteries, mechanical structures, cables, circuit breakers, etc., with a rated capacity of DC 48V and a maximum of 1000Ah (up to 10 battery packs of 100Ah connected in parallel). We possess the MSDS for all individual components within the enclosure, and although we submitted these component MSDSs to the shipping line for overseas export, they have requested an MSDS for the entire enclosure.
1. Is it possible to prepare an MSDS for the entire enclosure?
2. If possible, how should we proceed and what specific documentation is required?
Answer 1
- 0✓Based on the information provided, it appears you intend to transport a lithium (LFP) battery enclosure by sea. For transportation, you do not need the MSDS for the individual components that make up the enclosure; rather, as requested by the shipping line, you need the MSDS for the enclosure itself. Additionally, the battery enclosure must pass the testing standards according to UN Manual 38.3 and provide a Test Summary to prove compliance. For your reference, according to UN Manual 38.3.3(f), assembled batteries with a power consumption of 6,200Wh or less require T3 vibration testing, T4 impact testing, T5 external short circuit testing, and T7 overcharge testing. For assembled batteries exceeding 6,200Wh, test exemptions may apply under UN Manual 38.3.3(g) if it is proven that they are protected against overcharge, short circuits, and over-discharge between batteries. We are limited in providing specific instructions on the required documents for preparing the Test Summary, including the MSDS for the enclosure. We recommend consulting a professional company specializing in battery transportation and safety assessment for further details.Machine translated
