Updates from IATA:

January 2022 - IATA has eliminated Section II for FRU shipments (single battery shipments, quantity 1) from the Packing Instructions for Lithium Batteries (FRU) and Lithium-Ion Batteries (FRU). All battery FRU shipments will need to follow Section IB following the standard dangerous goods requirements (proper documentation, labeling, handling & IATA trained).

Advance Information on Changes Effective 1 January 2025 and 1 January 2026-

- Lithium-ion batteries shipped by themselves (PI 965) - All NetApp batteries are shipped at or below 30% state of charge meeting the IATA requirements.

- Lithium-ion batteries packed with equipment (PI 966) Section I and Section II – NetApp does not pack batteries with equipment. This requirement does not apply to NetApp’s systems.

- Lithium-ion batteries contained in equipment (PI 967) – There is no requirement regarding State of Charge. “Should have” is not a requirement.

¹ Section IB: Quantity above 2 or if the carrier only accepts to carry goods on Section IB.

*These items contain coin cell installed in systems and they are exempt from the Dangerous Goods regulations, meaning that it requires no labeling, documentation, or special handling. If the manufacturer includes a dangerous label in the package indicating that it has coin cell installed, we recommend using the doc pack to avoid shipping issues, even though, per the regulation it's not required.
