Explanation
IATA (International Air Transport Association) is the global body that governs the transport of dangerous goods - including lithium batteries - on commercial aircraft. For a battery to be shipped or carried on an international flight, it must meet IATA non-restricted battery standards (C), which specify watt-hour limits and packaging requirements. The FCC (B) governs radio frequency emissions in the United States and has no authority over battery transport. The FAA (D) is the US aviation authority and applies domestically, not internationally. EC (A) refers to the European Commission, which is a regulatory and legislative body, not a battery transport standard.
