Air Transport: State of Charge max. 30% will probably be extended
Air Transport: State of Charge max. 30% will probably be extended
The ICAO Dangerous Goods Panel (DGP) has discussed extending the regulation of the maximum state of charge (SoC). Until now this regulation has only applied to the shipment of cells/batteries without equipment in accordance with packing instruction 965. From 1 January 2025 (subject to final approval by the ANC (Air Navigation Commission), the subordinatebody to the DGP), it should also apply to battery-powered vehicles and possibly also hybrid vehicles (UN 3166). As there were some concerns and comments from DGP members at the last meeting, it is possible that this change will not yet be implemented on 1 January 2025.
