A recent string of high-profile incidents, involving the transportation of lithium ion batteries, has highlighted the need for adjusted transport regulations. \u00a0Despite the growing demand for both lithium ion and lithium metal batteries, the transport of such items remains inherantly dangerous. \u00a0As industry innovation marches ahead, adaptation of the rules is crucial in order to maintain\u00a0an acceptable level of safety. \u00a0The latest\u00a0correction is reflected in the 55th Edition of the\u00a0IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations. \u00a0These changes are emphasized in the summaries and packing instructions below –<\/span><\/p>\n
