Dear Ms. Flynn,
This is in response to your letter dated September 6, 1999, regarding clarification on the marking requirements for non-spillable batteries contained in equipment under the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR Parts 171-180). Specifically, you ask whether the outer packaging containing both the battery and equipment must be marked “NON-SPILLABLE” or “NON-SPILLABLE BATTERY.”
Section 173.159 (d) (2) requires each non-spillable battery and its outer packaging to be plainly and durably marked “NON-SPILLABLE” or “NON-SPILLABLE BATTERY” if the battery was manufactured after September 30, 1995. If a product contains a non-spillable battery and is placed in an outer packaging (e. g.,fiberboard box), the battery and the outer packaging must be marked either “NON-SPILLABLE” or “NON-SPILLABLE BATTERY.”
I hope this satisfies your inquiry.
Sincerely,
John A. Gale
