DANGEROUS GOODS QUIZ-HUMAN
PERFORMANCE AND LIMITATIONS
EXAM QUESTIONS 100% SOLVED
lithium batteries - ANSWERSthe chemical contents of these batteries may catch *fire* if
damaged or if improperly designed or assembled.
Shippers must conform to publications of Dangerous Goods Reguations by -
ANSWERSIATA
there are 2 major types of litium batteries, both contain a lot of energy -
ANSWERS*Lithium ion (Li-ion) batteries are rechargeable.
*Lithium metal batteries are generally non-rechargeable.
shipping lithium batteries by air service effective (1 April 2016) - ANSWERSBoth lithium
ion and lithium metal batteries shipped without
equipment are prohibited on passenger aircraft.
Which lithium batteries are considered dangerous? - ANSWERSALL of them
PHMSA - ANSWERSPipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration for the
U.S.
What to do to prevent activating or short-circuiting lithium batteries - ANSWERS*All
batteries should be packed
*ensure batteries don't have contact with other batteries, conductive surfaces or metal
objects
Packaging: What to do to prevent activating or short-circuiting lithium batteries -
ANSWERS*fully enclosed inner packaging made of non-conductive material.
*exposed terminals or connectors are protected with non-conductive caps or tape or by.
*securely cushioning and packing batteries to stop shifting or loosening of terminal
caps.
*Do not use envelopes or other soft-sided packs.
Not all lithium battery shipments maybe consolidated in an overpack. New regulations
effective 1 April 2016 now prohibit... - ANSWERSplacement in an overpack of more
than one package containing either lithium ion/lithium metal cells or batteries prepared
under Section II of IATA Packing Instructions 965 or 968.
, It is required that the individual packages comply with the necessary requirements -
ANSWERS(such as limitations on the net battery weight or the ability to withstand a 1.2-
metre drop test, as applicable)
What does the abbreviation "Wh" mean? - ANSWERS"Wh" stands for "watt-hour". It is a
measure used to indicate the
energy capacity of a lithium ion cell or battery.
What is the "state of charge" or SOC? - ANSWERS*SOC is the percentage of the
electrical stored capacity in a rechargeable cell or battery.
*Effective 1 April 2016, all lithium ion batteries shipped by air without equipment must
not exceed 30% SOC.
"cell" versus "batteries" - ANSWERS* A battery is TWO or MORE cells electrically
connected together by permanent means.
*A cell is a single encased electrochemical unit. It has one positive and one negative
electrode that exhibit a voltage
differential across its two terminals.
SCoETDG is the basis of the regulations of Dangerous Goods. It stands for: -
ANSWERSthe UN Subcommittee of Experts on The Transport of Dangerous Goods
what SCoETDG does: - ANSWERS*Develops reccommended PROCEDURES for
transport of ALL types of dangerous goods except RADIO-ACTIVE materials.
*Procedures published in Reccomendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods.
So who looks after radio-active material transportation? - ANSWERSInternational
Atomic Engery Agency. Reccommendations Procedures published in Regualtions for
the Safe Transport of Radioactive Material
Required documentation for transportation of lithium batteries that state the following: -
ANSWERS* The package must be handled with care because a FIRE HAZARD exists if
it is damaged.
* SPECIAL PROCEDURES are to be followed if the package is damaged, to include
inspection and repacking if necessary.
*A PHONE NUMBER for additional information
Distincitve handling label sizes (same for both batteries) - ANSWERS110mmx120mm
105mm*107mm
Cargo Aircraft Only label is to be used if... - ANSWERSIf you plan to ship either lithium
ion or lithium metal batteries packed WITHOUT EQUIPMENT by air.
Definition of dangerous goods - ANSWERSArticles or substances which are capable of
posing a RISK to HEALTH/SAFETY/PROPERTY or the ENVIRONMENT and which are
shown in the LIST of dangerous goods in the Regulations or which are CLASSIFIED in
these Regulations.
