Dear Ms. Eberle:
This is in response to your May 23, 2008 letter regarding the applicability of the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR Parts 171-180) to nickel cadmium batteries. You ask whether these batteries should be classed as "Batteries, dry" (similar to nickel-metal hydride batteries) under the HMR and offered for transportation and transported in accordance with § 172.102, Special provision 130.
The answer is yes. Provided your batteries are securely packaged and offered for transportation in a manner that prevents the dangerous evolution of heat and protects against short circuits, as provided in Special Provision 130, they are not subject to any other requirements of the HMR.
I hope this information is helpful. Please contact us if you require additional assistance.
Sincerely,
John A. Gale
Chief, Standards Development
Office of Hazardous Materials Standards
