The 58th edition of the IATA Dangerous Goods Transport Regulations (DGR) has been released and will be implemented on January 1, 2017. The cargo air transport appraisal issued by the old version of the 57th DGR will expire on December 31, 2016. Therefore, the double battery laboratory reminds customers to update the lithium battery cargo appraisal in advance.
For the transportation of lithium batteries, the 58th edition of the DGR Packing Instructions PI965-970 does not change the packaging requirements of the goods. Only the lithium battery operation label and the labeling style of the ninth dangerous goods are changed.
