The most current IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations (updated yearly) govern the standards for shipping lithium batteries. Airlines, freight forwarders, ground handlers, and shippers all rely on the IATA DGR manual to ensure the safe transport of hazmat materials. This online certification course provides general awareness and function-specific lithium battery training to satisfy IATA DGR and DOT HAZMAT employee training requirements.

If you do not have a copy, you should consider purchasing the IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations (DGR) Manual both for reference purposes in your day to day shipping operations, and while taking this course. Specific guides are also available for Battery Shipping Regulations and other topics.

You can access the current edition IATA Lithium Battery Shipping Guidance document from our "Resources" section.
