ICAO Posts Addendum I to the 2017-18 Technical Instructions for DG by Air

Posted on 4/12/2017 by Roger Marks

On April 7, 2017, the International Civil Aviation Organization released the first addendum to its 2017-18 Technical Instructions for the Safe Transport of Dangerous Goods by Air.

Read Addendum I to the 2017-18 ICAO TI in full here.

ICAO’s Technical Instructions, or TI for short, are international standards that serve as the basis for the International Air Transport Association Dangerous Goods Regulations (IATA DGR), the manual used by shippers worldwide to prepare hazardous materials/dangerous goods air shipments.

US DOT uses the ICAO TI as well—to make periodic “harmonization” updates to the 49 CFR Hazardous Material Regulations, or HMR. Most recently, DOT published a long-awaited harmonization rule, HM 215N, in which many of the changes made originated in the ICAO TI.

Read more about DOT's recent changes for hazmat shippers in HM 215N here.

The updates in ICAO's Addendum I include:

Changes to some UN numbers and Proper Shipping Names in Part 3, Chapter 2 and 3
Editorial updates to the lithium battery packing instructions (965, 966, 967, 968, 969, and 970)
Amendments and updates to certain State and operator variations (including new lithium battery restrictions)

The instructor was energetic and made learning fun compared to dry instructors from other training providers.

I have over 26 years of environmental compliance experience, and it has been some time since I have attended an environmental regulations workshop. I attended this course as preparation for EHS Audits for my six plants, and it was exactly what I was looking for.

Amazing instructor; real-life examples. Lion training gets better every year!

Lion's course was superior to others I have taken in the past. Very clear in the presentation and the examples helped to explain the content presented.

I will never go anywhere, but to Lion Technology.

I used the IT support number available and my issue was resolved within a few minutes. I don't see anything that could have made it better.

I love that the instructor emphasized the thought process behind the regs.

I chose Lion's online webinar because it is simple, effective, and easily accessible.

I was able to present my scenario to the instructor and worked thru the regulations together. In the past, I attended another training firm's classes. Now, I have no intention of leaving Lion!

Convenient; I can train when I want, where I want.
