In light of the efforts to combat climate change and to reduce the dependence on fossil fuels, new sources of energy and energy storage systems are being developed. This has led to the increased use of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) in all kinds of electronic devices, appliances, battery energy storage systems (BESS) and small vehicles. If these cargoes are not handled, packaged, classified and declared correctly, they can be hazardous to people, property and the environment.
To ensure the safe handling of LIBs in the global supply chain it is crucial to comply with international safety regulations. IUMI will support the development of appropriate guidelines and safety measures to address these new risks.
