New regulations on air transport of lithium batteries will be implemented in 2018.

Mobile phone, laptop, spontaneous combustion explosion, balance and electric car spontaneous combustion, etc., now this kind of accident caused by personal injury is not rare.With its roots lithium battery quality, transportation, storage environment are closely related, and lithium battery in the international air transport association (IATA) issued the proposal about dangerous goods transport, is classified as class 9 dangerous goods.At the same time, as the energy body lithium battery in the process of charging and discharging if poor reversibility will produce dendrites, namely lithium polymer isolation layer, make the direct contact between, cause battery internal short circuit and overheating, combined with the battery for steel shell shell, internal energy to release, so as to cause the battery overheat, even fire and explosion, endanger the safety of the user's personal property.Therefore, in order to ensure the transportation safety, the international rules to the carriage of lithium batteries frequently published and increasingly strict.

According to the relevant person in charge of inspection and quarantine bureau, Jiangsu Wujiang battery testing laboratory said, the international air transport association released 2018 lithium battery air transport the new rule, determine since January 1, 2018 air transport implement the new regulations, stricter controls the transport of lithium-ion batteries.The new regulation (IATA59 edition) requirements of lithium battery tag UN code digital height not less than 12 mm;Increased the lithium battery isolation rules and restrictions lithium ion batteries and lithium batteries with explosives, munitions, flammable gas, flammable liquid, flammable solid or reaction substances, solid explosives, oxidizer packaging in the same package, the textual content and increase the corresponding prompt.PI965 and PI968SectionII core and batteries, lithium-ion batteries will not and other dangerous goods in the same packaging;Carried by passengers or crew of portable electronic devices are limited to the total must not exceed 15, backup battery is not more than 20, more than the amount must be approved by the carrier airlines.

Inspection and quarantine departments to remind the relevant enterprises and personnel attaches great importance to the number of lithium battery packaging and isolation of new requirements, in order to avoid unnecessary economic losses caused by transportation is blocked.Personal travel carries portable electronic devices and backup battery is not more than air traffic rules, also can't and related flammable, explosive mixture.The relevant export enterprises should as soon as possible for the lithium battery transport packaging, documents, such as adjusting, strengthening links with the inspection and quarantine departments, the department of air transport, know the relevant departments for the new regulations, the detailed rules for the implementation of, take timely measures, transportation and grant the change in time, avoid the packing, transportation, cargo stranded or refund, etc., ensure smooth export of lithium battery.
