Protecting Your Business: Safe & Compliant Packaging for Lithium-Ion Batteries
Mitigating Risk for Insurance Providers & Their Clients
Lithium-ion batteries are essential in today’s world, powering everything from consumer electronics to industrial applications. However, if damaged or misused, their potential for fire and explosion presents significant risks when shipping and storing them. For insurance companies underwriting clients in these industries, ensuring the use of regulatory-compliant and safe packaging isn’t just recommended, it’s a critical factor in risk mitigation and loss prevention.

Why Packaging Compliance Matters
-
- Regulatory Compliance & Liability Protection
Non-compliant battery packaging can result in regulatory fines, shipment rejections, and increased liability for insurers. Compliance with UN, DOT, and IATA lithium-ion battery and product packaging standards is essential to minimize these risks and ensure that shipments meet all safety and legal requirements.
-
- Fire & Thermal Runaway Protection
Lithium-ion batteries, especially when suspect or Damaged, Defective, Recalled (DDR), can go into thermal runaway—a chain reaction that can cause fires or explosions. Certified, protective packaging significantly reduces these risks, lowering the likelihood of damage to insured assets and costly insurance claims.
- Preventing Supply Chain Disruptions
Incidents involving lithium-ion battery shipments can lead to operational delays, damaged goods, and reputational harm for both clients and insurers. By ensuring the use of tested and approved packaging solutions, insurers can help their clients avoid costly disruptions and claims.
The Role of Insurers in Promoting Safe Packaging
- Risk Assessment: Encourage clients to assess their lithium-ion battery packaging to ensure compliance with regulatory standards.
- Policy Incentives: Offer better coverage terms or premium reductions for clients that use certified safe packaging solutions.
- Education & Best Practices: Provide guidance on packaging standards and work with logistics partners to ensure proper handling and storage procedures.
