These measures ensure compliance with international regulations, mitigate transportation risks and enhance the reliability of lithium battery shipments.
This certification covers all aspects of passenger, cargo, and ground handling operations. For passenger service, it includes stringent luggage checks, emergency response training for pilots and cabin crew, and advanced fire suppression systems on aircraft.
On the cargo side, it reinforces the storage, handling, and transportation of lithium battery shipments. All operational processes adhere to IATA’s highest safety standards to ensure the secure transport of cargo and luggage.
EVA Air achieved CEIV Lithium Batteries certification with a “zero-defect” standard.
Building on its successful CEIV Pharma certifications in 2021 and 2024, the airline has become the first in Taiwan to obtain dual certifications for lithium batteries and pharmaceutical cold chain operations.
