IATA Dangerous Goods Course – Online Instruction according to IATA DGR 1.6
Do you ship lithium-ion or lithium-metal batteries by air freight? Or do you pack them? Then you or your employees need instruction at least once a year in accordance with IATA DGR 1.6, the so called IATA dangerous goods course. ProSafeCon is a recognized provider of training and instruction in the area of dangerous goods.
When is the shipment of batteries mandatory to be instructed?
The shipment of lithium-ion or lithium-metal batteries depends on the power and the quantity of the batteries, but also on whether the batteries are shipped alone or with or in equipment. Due to these parameters, the shipper must ensure adequate training for the responsible persons. The following illustration serves to clarify the requirements.
Since most commercially available devices are operated with smaller lithium ion batteries, the instruction according to IATA 1.6 is sufficient for most shippers of such devices. We are happy to offer you the IATA Dangerous Goods Training according to IATA 1.6 monthly as online training.
After successful participation, participants will receive a certificate of attendance for the IATA Dangerous Goods Training.
ProSafeCon is the leading provider of all necessary training and instruction for shipping lithium-ion or lithium-metal batteries by air freight according to IATA 1.6. All you need is a computer and a stable internet connection.
In addition to this IATA dangerous goods training, we also offer you and your employees the ADR 1.3 instruction online as well as the dangerous goods battery seminars.
Who is required to take IATA dangerous goods training according to IATA DGR 1.6?
Personnel must be instructed in relation to dangerous goods before assuming operational duties, otherwise a general ban on the transport of dangerous goods applies. Whoever ships or packs lithium metal batteries as cells up to 1g lithium or as batteries up to 2g lithium or lithium ion cells up to 20Wh or batteries up to 100Wh can take advantage of the simplified regulations for shipping lithium batteries by air and have his employees instructed according to IATA DGR 1.6.
Proof in the form of a certificate of attendance is required by the authorities. The IATA dangerous goods course must be refreshed every 2 years at the latest in the context of changing regulations.
IATA courses and training help you stay current with the latest industry regulations and procedures and ensure your dangerous goods shipments meet industry standards. Learn how to use the industry-approved DGR manual and earn your dangerous goods handling certificate.
Some goods can pose a threat to the safety of an aircraft or the people on board, and air transportation of these hazardous materials can be either prohibited or restricted. IATA has developed strict regulations in the past with DGR 1.6. The goal was to develop effective and efficient regulations that ensure the safe transportation of dangerous goods by air. Our course focuses on best practices to help you meet the challenge of adapting to the increasingly complex aviation environment.
