according to the latest news, IATA DGR 64 (2023) and ICAO TI 2023~2024 have adjusted all kinds of dangerous goods air transport rules again. The new rules will be implemented on January 1, 2023.

The version of the main changes are:

1. amend 3.9.2.6.1 to remove the need for test summaries for button-type cells installed in equipment for shipment;

2. to UN 3171 Battery-powered vehicle adds special provision A154; A154: It is prohibited to transport lithium batteries that are considered by the manufacturer to be defective in safety, or batteries that are damaged and may cause potential heat, fire or short circuit (for example, battery cells or batteries that are recalled by the manufacturer for safety reasons or cannot be diagnosed as damaged or defective before transportation).



3. revised PI 952: Vehicles are prohibited from being transported when the lithium battery installed in the vehicle is damaged or defective. When approved by the relevant authorities of the country of origin and the operator's country, batteries and battery cells for trial production or low production can be transported by cargo aircraft.



4. to amend PI 965 and PI968: each package shipped under IB is required to withstand a 3m stacking test;



5. to amend PI 966/PI 967/PI969/PI970: Clause II is amended to stipulate that when the package is placed in the Overpack, the package must be fixed in the Overpack, and the intended function of each package must not be Overpack and damaged. This is consistent with the general requirements of 5.0.1.5. Modify the lithium battery operation label, cancel the requirement to display the telephone number on the label, and make the transition period before December 31, 2026, until then, the existing lithium battery operation mark can continue to be used.



6. stacking test is based on GB/T4857.3 & GB/T4857.4, and stacking test sample quantity: 3 test samples for each design type and each manufacturer;

Test method:

A force is applied to the top surface of the test sample, the second force being equivalent to the total weight of the same number of packages that may be stacked on it during transport. The minimum stacking height including samples shall be 3m, and the test time shall be 24 hours.

Test passed by the standard:

the test sample shall not be leaked. In the case of conformable or combined packaging, the contents shall not be exposed from the inner receptacle and inner packaging. The test sample shall not show damage that may adversely affect the safety of transportation, or deformation that may reduce its strength or cause unstable stacking. Plastic packaging should be cooled to ambient temperature before evaluation
