Hi all,

I am curious to know if anyone is familiar with IATA/ICAO and UN 83.3 rules as 
they apply to shipment of cell phones (and other products) with built in 
batteries.  Many manufacturers generally separate the battery from the product 
or insulate one of the terminals to prevent inadvertent activation during 
shipment. With built in batteries this is not always possible.  I don't believe 
the rules specifically say batteries must be removed or disconnected.  So how, 
exactly is this handled by most people?

Thanks all.  Doug

Hi Doug,

IATA has information that will help also. The 2017 lithium battery guidance
doc can be found here
<http://www.iata.org/whatwedo/cargo/dgr/Documents/lithium-battery-guidance-document-2017-en.pdf>.
This is not the latest version as of Jan. 1st, however. You can find some
relevant up to date info in a list of changes to the actual Dangerous Goods
Regulations here
<http://www.iata.org/whatwedo/cargo/dgr/Documents/dgr59-addendum1-en.pdf> and
an article here

Hello Doug,

Go to the following website and download the “Shipping lithium batteries – 
documentation requirements” file.
http://www.fedex.com/id/tools/lithium.html

It has a flow chart showing the UN shipping requirements for batteries packaged 
within products. The batteries will need UN 38.3 testing, but shipping 
batteries in products is fairly simple after that.

Re: [PSES] IATA/ICAO and U 83.3 rules

2018-01-25 Thread IBM Ken
Hi Doug;

I believe UN 83.3 is a test specification and doesn't prescribe rules about
shipment.   I assume the airlines don't really care about inadvertent
activation (assuming the heat generated will be reasonably low and no
active cooling is required) but they would just insist that the batteries
have a low SoC (State of Charge) ie: <30%.  This is why many devices have a
"fully charge before first use" statement in the manual.

However, you might find it interesting that the new (in 2016) IATA rules
prohibiting Li-ion batteries as cargo on passenger flights *specifically
exempted* batteries contained within or packed with equipment (even as
cargo - in other words, not just the passengers' personal cellphone and
laptop batteries...)

[PSES] IATA/ICAO and U 83.3 rules

2018-01-25 Thread Doug Powell
Hi all,

I am curious to know if anyone is familiar with IATA/ICAO and UN 83.3 rules
as they apply to shipment of cell phones (and other products) with built in
batteries.  Many manufacturers generally separate the battery from the
product or insulate one of the terminals to prevent inadvertent activation
during shipment. With built in batteries this is not always possible.  I
don't believe the rules specifically say batteries must be removed or
disconnected.  So how, exactly is this handled by most people?

Thanks all.  Doug

[PSES] IATA regs for carriage of lithium batteries

2012-03-31 Thread Nick Williams
Does anyone have a copy of the 2012 version for the IATA regs/guide for the 
carriage of lithium batteries by air, which they could e-mail me please? I've 
been trying to download it from the IATA site but it seems to have crashed, and 
I need a copy for Monday morning if at all possible.

change in IATA rules regarding magnetized material

2010-08-18 Thread emc-p...@ieee.org
I have heard that the IATA (International Air Transport Association) rules for
determining if materials are “magnetized” and hence must be air shipped as
hazardous materials are undergoing a change effective January 1, 2011. The
rumor is that the change will relax the requirement and maybe shipments of
electronics that were considered magnetized will no longer be considered
magnetized,

Does anyone know the details of this change and point me to some documentation.

Thanks,

Jim

RE: IATA Regulations

2007-02-13 Thread emc-p...@ieee.org
In fact, it's not just a fall back instrument in the world of general
aviation. There are many aircraft flying today where the lowly compass
is the primary (or even the only) navigational instrument. It has its
idiosyncrasies but once understood, its reliability and predicatability
remain unmatched by more advanced instrumentation.

I recall hearing an instructor once dismissing a gyroscopic heading
indicator as a mere 'luxury'. Still...a sneaky glance at the handheld
GPS never hurts.

Peter.

RE: IATA 902 Magnetic Testing

2002-04-19 Thread Andrew Carson

Bud

 

I routinely test all our products to the  IATA requirements. There are no 
exemptions the regulations  apply to all goods put onto an aircraft. 

 

In general I find products which have  welded steel are going to produce a 
magnetic field. With the field most concentrated at the weld points. If it is a 
rack, it almost always needs to be labelled. Aluminium  bodies and riveted 
construction tends not to be too magnetic and can often go unlabelled. Although 
on occasion have found fields coming from large sheets of rolled steel. 

 

Basically if the product has a lot of ferromagnetic material, it can become 
magnetised during construction. Also watch out for large coils and 
transformers, magnetising the surrounding materials. 

 

If you are having trouble locating information on IATA testing, I suggest you 
try the FAA. They enforce the IATA regs within US airspace.

Re: IATA

John

You are absolutely right, the magnetic field limits are all about cargo 
interfering with a planes navigation systems,
and nothing to do with the effect on human's.

To carry Hazardous material, a cargo plane must be licensed and has an upper 
limit on how much mass it can carry. Very
few combined passenger and cargo planes are licensed to carry Hazardous 
material. This can make finding an available
plane to ship your goods quite tricky sometimes !

Re: IATA/airfreight and magnetic fields

2001-12-04 Thread Andrew Carson

When you do the measurements it is often very surprising, as too what turns out 
ot be magnetic, and what is ok.

Remember for far field measurements a magnetic field drops of at an inverse 
cube rate (approx.).
So being very crude with the equations (as the physics often hurts my head), if 
you have a large powerful magnet of say, a 20 cm diameter. At 2.1m the field 
strength is already reduced to 1/9000th and at 4.6m to nearly 1/10th of the 
max field strength measured at the magnets face.



Ted Rook wrote:

 JBL Professional Audio makes heavy duty loudspeaker drivers which feature the 
 traditional big magnet at the back. These items are airfreighted all over the 
 world daily. I recall seeing an airfreight label on the cartons which 
 declared the contents to be 'magnetic'. The figure given in a recent post for 
 maximum allowance, mG at meters distance, would be exceeded by these devices, 
 I think. You could try the JBL website, their US headquarters is in Los 
 Angeles CA, they are part of the Harman Audio group.

It is also interesting that 2mG limit closely approximates the emotional
one established through epidemiological studies.

Here in the Bay Area the field is around 50uT( 500mG )

It is my understanding that the magnetic field has been steadily declining.
From the time of Christ until now it has dropped in half.   And is evidently
on a decline towards zero (reversing poles) The significance?  I was
told that every ice age was accompanied by a pole reversal (but not every
pole reversal is accompanied by an ice age)

You want Packing Instruction 902, within the section on Dangerous Goods.

To summaries the limits are,

2mG at measurement distance of 2.1m - Non Magnetic Material
2mG at a measurement distance of 2.1m - Hazardous Magnetic Material, must
be marked accordingly
5.25mG at a measurement distance of 4.6m - Can not be transported by
aircraft.

Not much when you think the Earths magnetic field is 450 to 550mG

IATA/airfreight and magnetic fields

2001-12-04 Thread Ted Rook

JBL Professional Audio makes heavy duty loudspeaker drivers which feature the 
traditional big magnet at the back. These items are airfreighted all over the 
world daily. I recall seeing an airfreight label on the cartons which declared 
the contents to be 'magnetic'. The figure given in a recent post for maximum 
allowance, mG at meters distance, would be exceeded by these devices, I think. 
You could try the JBL website, their US headquarters is in Los Angeles CA, they 
are part of the Harman Audio group.
