Röhlig Australia Achieves CEIV Li-batt Certification 

Sydney, 08 April 2024 –Röhlig Australia, the Australian subsidiary of the 172-year-old owner-managed logistics company Röhlig Logistics, has achieved a significant milestone by receiving the prestigious IATA Center of Excellence for Independent Validators Lithium Batteries (CEIV Li-batt) certification for all branches across Australia.

According to the International Air Transport Association (IATA), lithium batteries are classified as dangerous goods due to their potential to ignite, making their safe transport a top priority. The CEIV Li-batt certification, introduced by the IATA, is a rigorous validation ensuring the safety and compliance of the lithium battery product supply chain with applicable transport regulations. To attain this esteemed recognition, Röhlig Australia underwent a comprehensive certification process, including extensive employee training, meticulous on-site assessments, and a final validation.

Mat Vermeulen, Managing Director of Röhlig Australia, expressed his excitement, stating, "We are proud to be the only freight forwarder in Australia recognised with the CEIV Li-batt certification. This accomplishment underscores our expertise in handling lithium batteries and our unwavering commitment to regulatory compliance. With highly efficient, standardised processes and a dedication to the highest safety standards, our customers can have complete confidence that their goods containing lithium batteries are in safe hands."

The certification of Röhlig Australia's facilities represents just one of many steps for the international logistics solutions provider. A roll-out to additional offices and countries within Röhlig's global network is anticipated in the coming months, further solidifying the company's commitment to excellence in logistics services.
