The SAE G-27 Lithium Battery Packaging Performance Committee held its
initial meeting in February and has held monthly virtual meetings since then.
The committee was formed in response to a request SAE received in 2015
from the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) to establish a
committee to develop a packaging performance standard for the safe
shipment of lithium batteries as cargo on aircraft.
During the February meeting, Steve Creamer, Director of
the ICAO Air Navigation Bureau, thanked SAE for setting up the committee.
"I am encouraged with the speed at which SAE set up this committee and
convened this first meeting," he said. "I am also encouraged by the level
of participation here today, and by the vast array of expertise which you all
provide."
"I am confident that the development of a packaging performance standard
through this collaborative approach will contribute to our efforts to facilitate
transport without compromising our fundamental and primary objective -
and that is safety," he said.
In March, the G-27 Writing Team, comprised of 20 global subject matter
experts, representing regulatory authorities, aircraft OEMs, battery
manufacturers, testing houses, airlines, pilots, packaging manufacturers,
and the SAE Ground Vehicle Battery Standards Steering Committee held
a week-long meeting at ICAO headquarters in Montreal, and developed an
initial draft.
Comments on this draft were solicited and reviewed at the committee's
first full face-to-face meeting in May. The Writing Team will incorporate
suggestions from the discussion into the next version of the draft when they
meet in June. The committee hopes to have a document ready for balloting in
November.
