IN NTRODUCT TION 1.1 The traansport of dan ngerous good ds by mail is rregulated throough Part 1;2.3 of the Techhnical Instructions.

(4 pages) DGPWG.15.WP.005.5.Rev v.en.docx DGP-WG/15-WP/5 -2- Revised 1.2 The initial paragraph of Packing Instruction 967, Section II (similar to Packing Instruction 970) is: “With the exception of Part 1;2.3 (Transport of dangerous goods by post), 7;4.4 (Reporting of dangerous goods accidents and incidents), 8;1.1 (Dangerous goods carried by passengers or crew) and paragraph 2 of this packing instruction, lithium ion cells and batteries contained in equipment offered for transport are not subject to other additional requirements of these Instructions if they meet the requirements of this section.” 1.2.1 It is suggested that this paragraph may be read in two different ways: a) Lithium batteries contained in equipment are permitted if the requirements of this section are fulfilled, and nothing else of these Instructions, but not if any of the following conditions apply: dangerous goods by post, dangerous goods carried by passengers or crew, reporting of dangerous goods accidents and incidents, or lithium batteries forbidden for transport. b) Lithium batteries contained in equipment are permitted if the requirements of this section are fulfilled, and nothing else of these Instructions, but only if one of the following conditions applies: dangerous goods by post, dangerous goods carried by passengers or crew, reporting of dangerous goods accidents and incidents, or lithium batteries forbidden for transport. The applicable requirements of Part 1;2.3, Part 8;1.1, Part 7;4.4 and paragraph 2 of Packing Instructions 967/970 must be met. 1.2.2 In case of 1.2.1 a), lithium batteries transported by the post would be subject to the full Instructions, and, specifically, be transported according to Section I of Packing Instructions 967 and 970. In case 1.2.1 b), lithium batteries transported by the post only have to meet the requirements of Section II of Packing Instructions 967 and 970. 1.2.3 Recognizing that the correct interpretation is 1.2.1 b), it would be helpful to amend the text to clarify the meaning, making a clear interpretation possible. The unclear text has given rise to several discussions in Spain when undergoing the process of authorising the designated postal operator to carry dangerous goods. 2. ACTION BY THE DGP-WG 2.1 The DGP-WG is invited to amend the initial paragraph in Section II of Packing Instructions 967 and 970 as presented in the appendix to this working paper. ———————— DGP-WG/15-WP/5 Appendix Revised APPENDIX PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO PART 4 OF THE TECHNICAL INSTRUCTIONS Part 4 PACKING INSTRUCTIONS ...
