A special session of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) Dangerous Goods Panel (DGP) was convened in Montreal, Canada from April 7-11 2014 to address the transport of lithium batteries as cargo aboard aircraft. The focus of the meeting was on a proposed prohibition of lithium metal batteries as cargo on Passenger Aircraft. The special session was convened because the DGP was unable to reach an agreement on how to appropriately address the safe transport of lithium batteries aboard passenger and cargo aircraft during their regularly scheduled 24th session which was held October 28 to November 8 2013.

In August the US Department of Transportation (DOT) issued final rule HM-224F affecting the safe transport of lithium batteries[1]. DOT announced that the effects from the revisions of HM-224F will “strengthen safety conditions for the shipment of lithium cells and batteries. These changes, some of which focus specifically on shipments by air, will better ensure that lithium cells and batteries are able to withstand normal transportation conditions and are packaged to reduce the possibility of damage that could lead to an unsafe situation[2].” Read more about The Changing Regulations Pertaining to the Transportation of Lithium Batteries …
