AMENDMENT TO THE TECHNICAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE SAFE TRANSPORT OF DANGEROUS GOODS BY AIR (DOC 9284) RELATING TO POWER BANKS
1. On 27 March 2026, the Council of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) approved an amendment to the provisions for the carriage of lithium batteries (including power banks) and portable electronic devices by passengers and crew contained in the 2025-2026 Edition of the Technical Instructions for the Safe Transport of Dangerous Goods by Air (Technical Instructions, Doc 9284). The amendment:
— prohibits the recharging of power banks while on board aircraft;
— limits the number of power banks that can be carried by each person to no more than two; and
— recommends against using power banks to recharge portable electronic devices while on board aircraft.
The restrictions do not apply to power banks carried by crew to fulfil operational requirements. However, they do apply to power banks carried by crew for personal use.
2. The Council's decision was based on recommendations from the Air Navigation Commission and its Dangerous Goods Panel (DGP) following discussions at the \(42^{\text{nd}}\) Session of the ICAO Assembly on the need to manage increasing fire risks associated with lithium batteries in aircraft cabins. A detailed analysis conducted by the DGP that led to the recommendations is provided in the report of its thirtieth meeting, held in Montréal from 6 to 10 October 2025.
3. The amendments are contained in Addendum No. 1 to the 2025-2026 Edition of the Technical Instructions which became applicable on 27 March 2026. The addendum is available on www.icao.int/safety/DangerousGoods under “Technical Instructions”. Additional information concerning the amendment is available on www.icao.int/dangerous-goods/guidance-material (English only).

ولا تنطبق هذه القيود علي الشواحن المحموله التي يحملها الطاقم لتنليه المتطلبات التشغيليه، لكنها تنطبق علي تلك التي يحملها
الطاقم للاستخدام الشخصي.
استند قرار المجلس الي توصيات لجنه الملاحه الجويه وفريق خبراء البضايع الخطره (DGP) اثر المناقشات التي
دارت اثناء الدوره الثانيه والاربعين للجمعيه العوميه للايكاو حول ضروره معالجه مساله تزايد مخاطر اشتعال الحرايق المرتبطه
ببطاريات الليثيوم في مقصوره الركاب بالطايره. ويرد التحليل المفضل الذي اجراء فريق خبراء البضايع الخطره والذي اسفر عن
التوصيات المقدمه في تقرير اجتماعه الثالثين، المنعقد في مونتريلان، من ٦ ٤/١٠/١٠.٢٠٢٠١٠
