This label indicates that a package can be transported on a cargo aircraft only.

This label must appear on all Excepted Quantity radioactive packages

* Place for UN number(s)

Packages containing Lithium cells or batteries or Sodium ion cells or batteries prepared according to Section II of Packing Instructions 966, 967, 969, 970, 977 or 978 and Section IB of Packing Instructions 965 and 968 must have the Battery Mark shown here. 

Note: The mark illustrated in Figure 7.1.C of the 63rd Edition of the IATA DGR may continue to be used until 31 December 2026; that mark allowed for a telephone number for additional information to be placed underneath the UN number. From 1 Jan 2023, there has no longer been a requirement for a telephone number to be included. 

The mark must indicate the following as appropriate:

1. "UN 3090" for lithium metal cells or batteries;
2. "UN 3480" for lithium ion cells or batteries;
3. "UN 3091" for lithium metal cells or batteries contained in, or packed with, equipment; or
4. "UN 3481" for lithium ion cells or batteries contained in, or packed with, equipment; or
5. "UN 3552" for sodium ion cells or batteries contained in, or packed with, equipment.

Where a package contains cells or batteries assigned to different UN numbers, all applicable UN numbers must be assigned on one or more marks.

The UN number/s indicated on the mark should be at least 12mm high and the minimum dimensions of the mark must be 100 mm wide x 100 mm high. The hatching must be a minimum width of 5 mm. If the size of the package so requires, the dimensions may be reduced to not less than 100 mm wide x 70 mm high. Where dimensions are not specified, all features must be in approximate proportion to those shown on the full-size mark. The symbol on the mark must be black on white or suitable contrasting background and the hatching must be red. The mark must be rectangular or square.

Packages containing Lithium batteries packed under Section IB of packing instructions 965 and 968 must also bear the Lithium Battery or Sodium Ion Battery Class 9 hazard label (see the previous page of this Module, which shows the Class 9 Lithium Battery or Sodium Ion Battery hazard label underneath Note 2). 

“This Way Up” or Package Orientation Labels must appear on combination packages and overpacks containing liquid dangerous goods. At least 2 of these labels must be placed on opposite sides of the package to show the proper upright orientation of the inner packagings (the inner packs must face upwards). 

There are some exceptions to this rule:

- dangerous goods in inner packagings each containing 120 mL or less. There must be sufficient absorbent material between the inner and outer packagings to completely absorb the liquid contents; 

- infectious substances in primary receptacles containing 50 mL or less;

- radioactive material; or

- dangerous goods in gas-tight inner packagings, e.g. tubes, bags or vials, which are opened by breaking or puncturing. Each inner packagings must not contain more than 500 mL.

This label is required in addition to the Division 2.2 Hazard Label.

Note: Gas may leak from these packages creating a mist which could look like smoke – this phenomenon is normal. Shipments should be segregated from live animals.

Replacement of labels after the point of acceptance is the responsibility of the operator.

This label must be used in addition to the applicable hazard label on packages and overpacks containing self-reactive substances in Division 4.1 and Division 5.2 Organic Peroxides.
