  "term": "Thermal runaway containment procedures",
  "field": "Logistics and supply chain",
  "definition": "A set of protocols and actions designed to prevent or mitigate the uncontrolled escalation of temperature in lithium-ion batteries, which can lead to fire or explosion. These procedures typically involve isolating the affected battery, cooling it, and preventing the spread of thermal events to adjacent cells or packages. Compliance with international dangerous goods regulations, such as those from the International Air Transport Association (IATA), dictates specific containment measures for shipping these batteries.",
