3171 on a placard, orange panel or shipping paper
It can stand for any of eight ERG 2024 entries, and they do not all use the same guide: Guide 154 for “Battery-powered equipment (wet battery)”, “Battery-powered vehicle (wet battery)” and “Wheelchair, electric, with batteries”; Guide 147 for “Battery-powered equipment (with lithium ion batteries)” and “Battery-powered vehicle (with lithium ion batteries)”; Guide 138 for “Battery-powered equipment (with lithium metal batteries)”, “Battery-powered equipment (with sodium batteries)” and “Battery-powered vehicle (with sodium batteries)”. Here the number alone does not settle the guide; the material name does. On a numbered orange panel, 3171 is the lower number (how to read an orange panel).
ERG 2024 markings for 3171
