- with the approval of the operator(s), small gaseous oxygen or air cylinders required for medical use;
- small carbon dioxide gas cylinders worn for the opera- tion of mechanical limbs, also spare cylinders of a similar size if required to ensure an adequate supply for the duration of the journey;
- with the approval of the operator(s), as checked baggage only, securely boxed cartridges for sporting purposes, in Division 1.4S, in quantities not exceeding 5 kg gross mass per person for that person's own use, excluding ammunition with explosive or incendiary projectiles. Allowances for more than one person must not be combined into one or more packages;
- dry ice in quantities not exceeding 2 kg per person, when used to pack perishables not subject to these Instructions, provided the package permits the release of carbon dioxide gas:
- in carry-on baggage; or
- with the approval of the operator(s), in checked baggage;
- safety matches or a lighter intended for use by an individual when carried on the person. However, lighters containing unabsorbed liquid fuel (other than liquefied gas), lighter fuel and lighter refills are not permitted on one's person or in checked or carry-on baggage;
Note: 'Strike anywhere' matches are forbidden for air transport.
- radioisotopic cardiac pacemakers or other devices, including those powered by lithium batteries, implanted into a person, or radio-pharmaceuticals contained within the body of a person as the result of medical treatment;
- with the approval of the operator(s), wheelchairs or other battery-powered mobility aids with non-spillable batteries (see Packing Inslruction 806 and Special Provi sion A67), as checked baggage provided that the battery is disconnected, the battery terminals are insulated to prevent accidental short circuits and the battery is securely attached to the wheelchair or mobility aid;
- with the approval of the operator(s), wheelchairs or other battery-powered IBObility aids with spillable batteries as checked baggage, provided that the wheelchair or mobility aid can be loaded, stowed, secured and Eunloaded always in an upright position and that the battery is disconnected, the battery terminals are insulated to prevent accidental short circuits and the battery is securely attached to the wheelchair or mobility aid.
If the wheelchair or mobility aid cannot be loaded, stowed, secured and unloaded always in an upright position, the battery must be removed and the wheelchair or mobility aid may then be carried as checked baggage without restriction. The removed battery must be carried in strong, rigid packagings as follows:
- these packagings must be leaktight, impervious to battery fluid and be protected against upset by securing to pallets or by securing them in cargo compartments using appropriate means of securement (other than by bracing with freight or baggage) such as by use of restraining straps, brackets or holders;
- batteries must be protected against short circuits, secured upright in these packagings and surrounded by compatible absorbent material sufficient to absorp their total liquid contents; and
- these packagings must be marked 'Battery, wet, with wheelchair' or 'Battery, wet, with mobility aid' and be labelled with a Corrosive' label and with a package orientation label.
The pilot-in-command must be informed of the location of a wheelchair or mobility aid with an installed battery of the location of a packed battery.

The pilot-in-command must be informed of the barometer or thermometer;
- with the approval of the operator(s), no more than two small carbon dioxide cylinders per person fitted into a self-inflating life-jacket, plus no more than two spare cartridges;
- with the approval of the operator(s), heat producing articles (i.e. battery-operated equipment such as under water torches and soldering equipment which, if accidentally activated, will generate extreme heat and can cause fire) may be carried in carry-on baggage only. The heat producing component, or the energy source, must be removed so as to prevent unintentional functioning during transport;
- one small medical or clinical thermometer which contains mercury, for personal use, when in its protective case.
