47 Mixtures of solids that are not subject to this subchapter and flammable liquids may be transported under this entry without first applying the classification criteria of Division 4.1, provided there is no free liquid visible at the time the material is loaded or at the time the packaging or transport unit is closed. Except when the liquids are fully absorbed in solid material contained in sealed bags, for single packagings, each packaging must correspond to a design type that has passed a leakproofness test at the Packing Group II level. Sealed packets and articles containing less than 10 mL
of a Class 3 liquid in Packing Group II
or III absorbed onto a solid material are not subject to this subchapter provided there is no free liquid in the packet or article.

134 This entry applies only to vehicles powered by wet batteries, sodium batteries, lithium metal batteries or lithium ion batteries, and equipment powered by wet batteries or sodium batteries that are transported with these batteries installed. Lithium batteries installed in a cargo transport unit, designed only to provide power external to the transport unit must use the proper shipping name Lithium batteries installed in cargo transport unit found in the 172.101 Hazardous Materials Table.
a. For the purpose of this special provision, vehicles are self-propelled apparatus designed to carry one or more persons or goods. Examples of such vehicles are electrically-powered cars, motorcycles, scooters, threeand fourwheeled vehicles or motorcycles, trucks, locomotives, bicycles pedal cycles with an electric motor and other vehicles of this type e.g., self-balancing vehicles or vehicles not equipped with at least one seating position, lawn tractors, selfpropelled farming and construction equipment, boats, aircraft, wheelchairs and other mobility aids. This includes vehicles transported in a packaging. In this case, some parts of the vehicle may

be detached from its frame to fit into the packaging.
b. Examples of equipment are lawnmowers, cleaning machines, or model boats and model aircraft.
Equipment powered by lithium metal batteries or lithium ion batteries must be described using the entries Lithium metal batteries contained in equipment or Lithium metal batteries packed with equipment or Lithium ion batteries contained in equipment or Lithium ion batteries packed with equipment, as appropriate.
c. Self-propelled vehicles or equipment that also contain an internal combustion engine must be described using the entries Engine, internal combustion, flammable gas powered or Engine, internal combustion, flammable liquid powered or Vehicle, flammable gas powered or Vehicle, flammable liquid powered, as appropriate. These entries include hybrid electric vehicles powered by both an internal combustion engine and batteries. Additionally, self-propelled vehicles or equipment that contain a fuel cell engine must be described using the entries Engine, fuel cell, flammable gas powered or Engine, fuel cell, flammable liquid powered or Vehicle, fuel cell, flammable gas powered or Vehicle, fuel cell, flammable liquid powered, as appropriate. These entries include hybrid electric vehicles powered by a fuel cell engine, an internal combustion engine, and batteries.
135 Internal combustion engines installed in a vehicle must be described using Vehicle, flammable gas powered or Vehicle, flammable liquid powered, as appropriate. If a vehicle is powered by a flammable liquid and a flammable gas internal combustion engine, it must be described using Vehicle, flammable gas powered. This includes hybrid electric vehicles powered by both an internal combustion engine and wet, sodium or lithium batteries installed. If a fuel cell engine is installed in a vehicle, the vehicle must be described using Vehicle, fuel cell, flammable gas powered or Vehicle, fuel cell, flammable liquid powered, as appropriate. This includes hybrid electric vehicles powered by a fuel cell, an internal combustion engine, and wet, sodium or lithium batteries installed. For the purpose of this special provision, vehicles are self-propelled apparatus designed to carry one or more persons or goods. Examples of such vehicles are cars, motorcycles, trucks, locomotives, scooters, threeand fourwheeled vehicles or motorcycles, lawn tractors, self-propelled farming and construction equipment, boats, and
