Hi Scott, Thank you for your reply and just as you pointed out that Peter M indicated requirements vary by country, I also had indicated that (see below). Thank you for your offer, but the battery pack manufacturers take care of that for us. And, thank you for that link.
Charlie, Since I sent my reply, I thought of a couple other transportation & waste requirements for batteries that may be of use to you, which are: - EU: 2006/66/EC Battery & Accumulator Waste Directive - US DOT: 49 CFR Parts 171, 172, 173, and 175 - Hazardous Materials; Transportation of Lithium Batteries; Final Rule IHTH.

If you need help with Brazil, I can help you arrange testing and get approvals from ANATEL. Brazil is one of the fastest growing mobile phone markets in the world. Most models gain Brazil approvals. If your batteries pass IEC 62133, and UN 38.3 you are going to have a smooth experience. Here is a company in USA that can help you on global compliance. http://www.energy-assurance.com/ Please let me know if I can be of any assistance.

Please note that certification requirements for that battery will vary a bit with the actual device application and the construction of that battery. For the USA, please note that UL 1642 pertains mostly to individual battery cells. UL 2054 would be the safety standard for battery packs here in the US. Also if that battery is targeted for the cellular telephone market in the US, then be aware that CTIA certification (IEEE 1725) will probably be required (also includes the charger or external power supply) if PTCRB certification is pursued. For international, IEC 62133 should suffice, but please note that for the EU, EN 62133 might need to be complied with although it is not included in the R&TTED harmonized standards list. Please note that some countries have their own unique requirements for mobile device batteries. And, IATA requirements are indeed mandatory and can generally be satisfied with successful UN T1-T8 testing. IHTH.

I have a typical Li-Ion 3.7V 1.4 Ah mobile phone battery, and am trying to identify compulsory and recommended safety requirements . . . . “IATA Guidance Document Transport of Lithium Metal and Lithium Ion Batteries (2010)” appears compulsory Are UL1642 / IEC62133 recommended / optional / required under certain circumstances? Anything else required.
