4 Classification requirements
4.1 Before packing and transporting, the safety of decommissioned traction battery shall be judged and then classified according to their safety characteristics. The classification process is shown in Figure 1.
4.2 The consignee and the consignor shall jointly judge the safety of the decommissioned traction battery according to the test items given in Annex A. If there are traces of manual dismantling and there is no corresponding maintenance or unpacking record, unpacking inspection shall be conducted to avoid risk.
4.3 If the inspection results of all items specified in Annex A are “No”, the batteries shall be deemed as passing the safety judgment; if not less than one of the inspection results are “Yes”, the batteries shall be deemed as failing to pass the safety judgment.
4.4 The batteries fail to pass the judgment shall not be packed and transported directly, it may be pretreated according to the treatment protection measures recommended in Annex A or according to the actual situation before packing, and records shall be made. Only after meeting the technical requirements agreed by the consignee and the consignor, can the batteries be packed and transported in classes.
4.5 The decommissioned traction batteries that pass the judgment and those that fail to pass the judgment but are pretreated shall be classified as:
——Class A batteries: decommissioned traction batteries with intact structure and function, and of which the inspection results of all items in Annex A are "No", or of which the inspection results of all items tested are "No” after protection treatment;
——Class B batteries: decommissioned traction batteries, of which not less than one of the inspection results of all items in Annex A are "Yes" and no special requirements are specified for the packing and transporting in national laws and regulations;
