Lithium-Ion packaging
If your business is involved in storing or transporting damaged or broken lithium-ion batteries, you need to be aware of the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations (COSHH). Regulations which require businesses to control exposure to hazardous substances that pose a risk to human health and the environment.
Recent stories covering fires or explosions by caused mobile phones or car batteries have only highlighted the importance of these regulations and the need to make sure your business is compliant.
We’re here to help!
ZARGES, in conjunction with a world market leader for e-bike batteries, has developed a safety container – the UN tested Battery Safe – that can safely transport damaged lithium-Ion batteries thanks to an interior that is coated with intumescent material. In case of fire, the case's interior swells up and prevents the flames from spreading further. The special absorbent material ensures that solid components are filtered out of the battery gases and that liquid constituents condense on the fibres’ surface.
In addition to the Battery Safe, ZARGES has supplied bespoke solutions for the transport of hazardous goods for over 30 years. Within this time, we have developed a range of sizes and selection of cases for various UN approval types including UN 4B, UN 4BV and UN 50B. Zarges even has its own testing centre, which is approved and monitored by the Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing (BAM) in Germany.
So, make sure you book a meeting to discuss your lithium-ion storage and transport requirements with our expert team at the Battery Tech Expo on 28th March 2019, on stand C7 at the International Centre in Telford.
