· NEW Dangerous Goods Best Practice 010 – “Best Practice for Consigning Lithium Cells / Batteries by Airlines in Hong Kong”, jointly issued by the Dangerous Goods Working Group under the Carrier Liaison Group (CLG-DGWG)and HAFFA

In view of some comments received on the BP 010, please be informed that the DG Working Group is now working with relevant organization(s) to formulate some minor amendments to be made on BP 010. Once the amendments are finalized the BP 010 will be revised and the updated version will be uploaded onto the website. ^NEW ^{(15 Apr 2013)}

BP010 (With effect from 01 Jan 2013) ^NEW ^{(23 Nov 2012)}

In response to the numerous changes in the 54^th Edition IATA DGR (2013) (with effect from 01 January 2013) particularly on the lithium battery, the CLG-DGWG has finished reviewing the BP. Please note the number of the best practice will change from "BP009" to "BP010" to avoid confusion in the market. That means, “Lithium Batteries Best Practice BP010” will replace “Dangerous Goods BP009” with effect from 01 January 2013.
