The new minimum size for marking lithium batteries has been standardized at 100x100mm to harmonize it with other markings for dangerous goods, such as hazard labels, which have long been set at a size of 100x100mm. Previously, the minimum size for marking lithium batteries was 120x110mm.

Overall, the changes in ADR 2023 regarding the marking of lithium batteries are a step in the right direction to make the transport of dangerous goods easier. However, it is important that all stakeholders continue to work together to ensure that all regulations are met and that safety is maintained during transport.

It is important to note that the changes in ADR 2023 regarding the marking of lithium batteries are just one of many changes that have been made to make the transport of dangerous goods by road safer. It is imperative that all parties involved, from manufacturers to transport companies, comply with the regulations and fulfill their responsibilities for the safe transport of dangerous goods.
