On the imposition of restrictions on the carriage of portable electronic devices in baggage on civil aviation aircraft

Recommendations of the International Civil Aviation Organization ICAO (electronic bulletin «Portable Electronic Devices» EB 2017/23 dated 31 March 2017)

1. The device must be completely powered off (not in standby or energy-saving mode) and placed in protective packaging to prevent unintentional activation or damage. Suitable protection can be provided in the form of a hard suitcase and/or shock-absorbing material such as clothing to prevent movement.

2. The carriage of spare batteries, power banks, and portable electronic smoking devices (e.g. e-cigarettes, personal steam generators) in baggage or cabin luggage is currently prohibited.
