Lithium-Ion Battery Incidents and Their Impact on Aviation Safety
Through UL Standards & Engagement’s Thermal Runaway Incident Program, we are collaborating with airline industry dangerous goods and hazardous materials professionals to closely examine data on lithium battery incidents and better understand the scale and complexity of this growing aviation safety issue. Developed with, and for, airline industry dangerous goods professionals, TRIP is a secure, voluntary system for aviation-related lithium battery incidents. Leading passenger and cargo carriers participate in TRIP, voluntarily reporting incidents to the TRIP database and participating in program summits to solve for risk.
For the first time, ULSE is publicly sharing TRIP data in the report, “Lithium-Ion Battery Incidents and Their Impact on Aviation Safety,” to clarify the problem and support identifying solutions.
