Transport of Fully Regulated Lithium and Sodium Ion Cells/Batteries (all modes of transport) – Online

Since rules and restrictions vary depending on the type of cells or batteries to be transported, we offer two different courses.

Transportation of Exempted Lithium and sodium ion cells/batteries (all modes of transport) and
Transportation of Fully Regulated Lithium and sodium ion cells/batteries (all modes of transport).

Which training is right for you depends entirely on what types of batteries you handle.

ABOUT CBTA

Background
Through the ICAO-TI regulations, the International Civil Aviation Organization introduced new requirements on January 1, 2023, requiring businesses involved in the transport of dangerous goods by air to train, assess and ensure the competence of their personnel through a so-called CBTA program. The same was introduced within the International Air Transportation Association (IATA).

Certification in the area began in 2022 and DGM Sverige AB became among the first companies in the world to be awarded IATA CBTA Center Provider certification for competency-based training and assessment (CBTA). DGM Sverige AB has been conducting IATA CBTA approved training since September 2022.

How does it affect you?

It is the employer's responsibility to ensure that personnel are competent to perform all functions for which they are responsible before they perform them. Performance requirements should be analyzed and based on legal and business-related requirements and should be made by a competent person, such as a security advisor. In other words, the companies involved should have their own CBTA program.
DGM has chosen to become an IATA CBTA provider for training, which means that DGM provides training for well-defined functions (such as shippers, packers, loaders, etc.). These trainings are carried out and assessed by DGM according to the programs approved by IATA. Ultimately, trained and assessed personnel receive an IATA certificate, which is often a requirement from airlines.

In the case of consignors handling dangerous goods, the function is to hand over to the airlines goods that meet the requirements of ICAO-TI/IATA-DGR. The consignor handling DG shipments is included under “function 7.1” according to “IATA Training Guidance”.
For shippers who only handle lithium and sodium ion batteries, "function 7.1" can be adapted according to an approved program, which in many cases affects the time for training implementation (the time is reduced from the basic requirements).
