As of May 14, 2021, LogBATT GmbH has become the first German manufacturer of transport
boxes for damaged to critical lithium-ion batteries to receive U.S. DOT approval
in the United States. The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) with the Pipeline
and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) subdivision from Washington
D.C. issued this special approval with the tracking number: 2020084088, accordance
with §§ 173.185(b), 173.24 and §§ 107.105, 172.301(c)  ([https://www.phmsa.dot.gov/approvals-and-permits/hazmat/special-permits-search](https://www.phmsa.dot.gov/approvals-and-permits/hazmat/special-permits-search))

For the official permission an extensive procedure of 8 months was gone through.
The agency literally writes: _“This Special Permit authorizes the manufacture, marking,
sale, and use of packages that have a venting capability to reduce internal pressure
that may result from the evolution of gas from the contents within the packages 
for the purpose of transporting damaged, defective, and recalled lithium cells or
batteries…of these Special Regulations (HMR) or the International Maritime Dangerous
Goods Code (IMDG), except as otherwise specifically stated herein.”_

Thus, we are well prepared for the American market at the highest regulatory level
as the first German supplier for our major customers in the automotive industry.“
We are very proud and happy about this further milestone”, says Managing Director
Philipp Helmle. (M.Knobloch)
