Dear Mary Liddane,
The answer for your question is made by Andres Peterson who is Senior Inspector in Flight Operations
Department.
Estonia and our airline operators are not notified (at the moment) any variations from the technical
instructions, so the transport of any dangerous goods by air in Estonia must be organised in accordance
of ICAO Doc 9284 Technical Instructions for the Safe Transport of Dangerous Goods by Air.
Unfortunately, you have not described the device:
his purpose and,
used in the device lithium ion cells or batteries capacity,
is it one-time transportation, or
it�s designed for the passenger to carry with them and used on board.
Regrettably, we are not able to give you any good advices or help you with the design and certification
processes of the product.
We believe, that the Irish Aviation Authority (IAA) is the best place to get the answers to your questions.
Kind regards,
Marelle Pihlak

Subject: Transport of dangerous goods capable of generating extreme heat
Dear Sirs,
My name is Mary Liddane and I work for Compliance & Risks, a company based in Ireland. We assist
product manufacturers with understanding their product safety compliance obligations worldwide.
A client of mine wishes to transport a lithium battery operated portable electronic device that is capable
of generating extreme heat. The component capable of generating the heat is housed with a lithium ion
battery that cannot be removed from the product.
My question is whether such a product is compliant with ICAO requirements and/or Estonian national
legislation? Or do the rules require that a battery and a heat producing component must be capable of
being removed and packaged separately? Would the potential for removing a fuse (thereby making a
closed circuit impossible) or an equivalent safety measure ensure that the device can be carried?
Also, can you provide clarification on when a device is considered to be switched off? (as in for carriage
in the hold of a passenger craft?) If a device is in flight mode or other deactivated mode but it still
retains residual energy , does this contravene the Guidelines?
Many thanks for any assistance you can provide.
Best wishes,
Mary
