"Today‘s good, common-sense advisory will help airplane passengers and airline crews to comply with the existing federal Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration （PHSMA） regulations, which require that batteries and battery-powered products be properly packaged and handled,” said Brett Brenner, ESFI president. “We also recommend that travelers visit PHSMA‘s user-friendly new website, http://safetravel.dot.gov, for safety tips and advice.” “ESFI and NEMA, working with our member companies, will continue to work with PHMSA officials and other stakeholders to help consumers take measures to further minimize the risk of a battery-related incident aboard an aircraft,” added Evan Gaddis, NEMA president and CEO. NEMA represents manufacturers of primary （non-rechargeable） dry cell batteries, including common household alkaline batteries and lithium batteries, and portable rechargeable batteries including nickel cadmium, nickel metal hydride, lithium, and zinc air. Founded in 1994 through a joint effort between Underwriters Laboratories Inc. （UL）, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission （CPSC） and the National Electrical Manufacturers Association （NEMA）, the Electrical Safety Foundation International （ESFI） is North America‘s only non-profit organization dedicated exclusively to promoting electrical safety in the home and workplace. ESFI is a 501（c）（3） organization funded by electrical manufacturers and distributors, independent testing laboratories, utilities, safety and consumer groups, and trade and labor associations. ESFI sponsors National Electrical Safety Month each May, and engages in public education campaigns and proactive media relations to help reduce property damage, personal injury and death due to electrical accidents.
