'There continues to be work on developing a packaging standard that can be used to verify that the package is capable of containing a fire event'
How is IATA shaping regulations for the safe transport of lithium batteries to avoid any future untoward accidents and fire incidents on aircrafts? I understand that rules on carrying lithium batteries were updated this year, what are some salient points that could change things fundamentally for the industry at large?
We continue to look at methods that will mitigate the risks associated with the transport of lithium batteries. Where issues are identified we then look at if there is a need to modify the regulatory requirements or if there are other methods that could address the issue. There continues to be work on developing a packaging standard that can be used to verify that the package is capable of containing a fire event, although this work is taking some time to complete.
