FAQ n.132528

If I have a non-rechargeable lithium battery (NRLB) specific case not fitting to the 4 cases where a direct minor classification is allowed, and I consider that severity of a thermal runaway failure can be considered less than hazardous, can I ask to EASA to re-classify one specific project?

Answer

Yes, according to Part 21 „When the strict application of the paragraph 3.3 criteria from GM 21A.91 Classification of changes to a type Design results in a major classification, the applicant may request re-classification, if justified, and Agency could take the responsibility in re-classifying the change.”
