Carriage of Lithium ion Batteries
Lithium ion batteries are dangerous goods. I am therefore not undertanding why IATA DGRs have table 9.5.A which lists Lithium Ion Batteries as "Dangerous goods not required on the information to pilot-in-command (9.5.1.1.3.2).
With the uncertainty around this product, i cannot see why they should be 'downgraded' to the bottom section of the NOTOC.
This especially since in the latest DGR edition, IATA have added a letter "Z" to the Emergency Response Guide code for Lithium batteries, which means that fire supperessant equipment may not be able to extinguish a fire, LAND ASAP.
