The question of the day – UN2800
The question of the day is:
What training is required to ship leakproof batteries (UN 2800) with Special Provision A67, and does the exemption by A67 also apply to the training requirement under 1.5?
Answer from Luftfahrt-Bundesamt:
Without training, it is difficult to correctly understand the special provision. Depending on the task, the person should receive tailored training to properly apply the regulations.
