UN/NA 3536 · ERG 2024 · Guide 138 · Guide 147
- UN/NA
- 3536
- Edition
- ERG 2024
ERG 2024 lists UN/NA 3536 under more than one guide, depending on the material name: Guide 138, “Substances - Water-Reactive (Emitting Flammable Gases)”; Guide 147, “Lithium Ion and Sodium Ion Batteries”.

3536 on a placard, orange panel or shipping paper
It can stand for either of two ERG 2024 entries, and they do not all use the same guide: Guide 147 for “Lithium batteries installed in cargo transport unit (lithium ion batteries)”; Guide 138 for “Lithium batteries installed in cargo transport unit (lithium metal batteries)”. Here the number alone does not settle the guide; the material name does. On a numbered orange panel, 3536 is the lower number (how to read an orange panel).
ERG 2024 markings for 3536
3536 is not highlighted in green (no Table 1 entry), and its guide numbers 147 and 138 have no P.
