Abstract:

This report is a compilation of test data and results from projects conducted by the Fire Safety Branch designed to determine the hazard from and possible hazard mitigation for the bulk shipment of lithium batteries/cells as cargo on transport airplanes. Though the main focus of this report is transport on passenger aircraft (effectiveness of Halon and effect on Class C cargo compartment), general hazard data is also applicable to freighters.
