EVA Air, together with Evergreen Airline Services and Evergreen Air Cargo Services, has been certified by the Center of Excellence for Independent Validators (CEIV) Lithium Batteries certification by the International Air Transport Association (IATA).

With this, EVA Air has become the first airline in Taiwan to receive dual certification for both passenger and cargo operations — reflecting the airline's capabilities and focus on maintaining safety standards across its services.

EVA Air noted that with the growing use of lithium batteries and the rapid expansion of e-commerce, the demand for their transportation has increased significantly in air cargo shipments and passenger luggage.

"Prioritizing safety, EVA Air and its affiliate companies have adopted stringent standards encompassing training, self-audit, risk management, and quality control," the carrier said, adding that these measures ensure compliance with international regulations, mitigate transportation risks and enhance the reliability of lithium battery shipments.

The certification covers all aspects of passenger, cargo, and ground handling operations.

EVA Air said 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 said.

EVA Air noted that it achieved CEIV Lithium Batteries certification with a "zero-defect" standard.

EVA Air has become the first airline in Taiwan to receive dual certifications for lithium batteries and pharmaceutical cold chain operations, following its CEIV Pharma certifications in 2021 and 2024, further enhancing its passenger and cargo services.
