Prompt example: EU requirements for transport of lithium battery products by air.
Required: Ambiguity Warnings. When transporting lithium battery products by air within the EU, ensure compliance with regulations such as IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations (DGR), applicable national regulations, and EU directives. Ambiguity may arise in interpretation of packaging requirements, state of charge limitations, and exemptions for small batteries. Failure to comply may result in fines, delays, or safety hazards. Stay updated with current regulations and seek expert advice to navigate potential ambiguities effectively. The main ambiguity lies in the categorization of lithium batteries (whether as lithium-ion or lithium metal) and the exceptions for small quantities or those contained within equipment. The regulations are subject to interpretation and may vary slightly between EU member states. EU Regulation 2023/457 has conflicting language around whether smaller lithium batteries under 2g are subject to the new testing standards or not. This may require additional legal interpretation.
