Battery Shipping Compliance

At Disruptive Technologies, we prioritise safety and compliance in shipping our sensors containing batteries to our customers. Here's a concise look at how we follow regulations and ensure secure transport:

Battery types

Our CO2 sensors come with standard AA alkaline batteries for convenience upon delivery. All other sensors, feature lithium batteries for extended power and stability. Note that Motion sensors and Temperature Probe sensors come with AA batteries and all other sensors, including the Door & Window sensor and Temperature & Humidity sensor, come with button cell batteries.

For additional details, please refer to the specific product datasheet.

Notably, Cloud Connectors do not use batteries.

Battery Regulations and Transportation Compliance

Our lithium metal batteries fall under UN 3091, with strict adherence to:

• Packaging Instruction PI 970 Section II for button cell batteries (see page 25)
• PI 967 for other batteries (see page 25).

Button cells in equipment are exempt from labeling, but all other IATA PI970 requirements apply.

For land transport, we follow Special Provision 188, which exempts certain packages from marking requirements.

In air transport, we follow the International Air Transportation Association's (IATA's) Dangerous Goods Regulations (DGR) and the International Civil Aviation Organization's (ICAO) rules, without the need for dangerous goods labels or declarations. These guidelines ensure safe shipping and minimize transit risks.
