5 General comments The 56 th edition of the IATA DGR incorporates all amendments made by the Dangerous Goods Board in developing the edition of the ICAO Technical Instructions as well as changes adopted by the IATA Dangerous Goods Board. Additionally, on January 8 th, 2015 the first addendum to the 56th edition of the DGR was posted. There are changes in all sections. Appendices A, B, D, E and F have been updated. 5

6 1. Applicability Exception for lamps. The following lamps are not subject to IATA-DGR, provided that they do not contain radioactive material. o Lamps containing no more than 1 g. of dangerous goods and packaged so that there is not more than 30 g of dangerous goods per package, provided that: They are certified to a manufacturer s quality management system (e.g. ISO 9001:2008). They are either individually packed in inner packagings, separated by dividers, or sorrounded with cushioning material, and packed into strong outer packagings. 6

7 1. Applicability o Lamps containing only gases of Division 2.2 provided they are packaged so that the projectile efects of any rupture of the bulb will be contained within the package. 7

8 1. Applicability Information to passengers. Operators must ensure that information about which dangerous goods are forbidden to transport aboard an aircraft is available on booking and check-in websites. Booking websites? 8

9 1. Applicability 9

10 2. Limitations 2.2. Hidden Dangerous Goods. A note has been added to bring to attention that diamond-shape pictograms from the Globally Harmonized System for Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) on packages may indicate the presence of dangerous goods. 10

11 2. Limitations 11

12 2. Limitations 2.3. Dangerous Goods Carried by Passengers or Crew. All provisions concerning portable electronic devices have been restructured: 1. Spare lithium batteries (in carry-on baggage only) are permitted with the aproval of the operator if: o Lithium content > 2 g but 8 g (lithium metal or lithium alloy batteries) o Watt-hour rating > 100 Wh but 160 Wh (lithium ion batteries) 12

13 2. Limitations 2. Lithium battery powered electronic devices containing batteries (in checked or carry-on baggage) are permited with the aproval of the operator if: o o Lithium content > 2 g but 8 g (lithium metal or lithium alloy batteries) Watt-hour rating > 100 Wh but 160 Wh (lithium ion batteries) 13

14 2. Limitations 3. Portable electronic devices (in checked or carry-on baggage) and spared batteries for such devices (only in carry-on baggage), are permitted without operator authorization if: o o Lithium content 2 g (lithium metal or lithium alloy batteries) Watt-hour rating 100 Wh (lithium ion batteries). 14

15 2. Limitations 2.4. Transport of Dangerous Goods by Post. The allowance for radioactive material in the post has been revised to limit the excepted packages to UN 2910 and UN 2911 only. The radioactive material must not have a subsidiary risk and the packages must be marked and labelled as specified. 15

16 3. Classification A statement has been added to assert that articles are not assigned packing groups. Instead, requirements for specific packaging performance levels are addressed within the applicable packing instruction Class 2. A new definition has been added for adsorbed gases. A gas which when packaged for transport is adsorbe onto a solid porous material resulting in an internal receptacle pressure of less than kpa at 20 ºC and less than 300 kpa at 50 ºC. 16

17 3. Classification Class 5. Some alternative tests provisions have been added for the classification of solid oxidizers. 17
