The ICAO published Circular 344 “Guidelines on education, training and reporting practices related to fume events” at the end of 2015. The scope of the guidance is limited to education, training and reporting of fume events by flight crew, cabin crew, and aircraft maintenance technicians (AMTs). In addition, the management should also receive the basic training. The idea is to enable crews and AMTs to prevent, recognize and respond to the presence of fumes/odour. The circular does not address occupational health issues. The overall content of the circular was presented at the conference.
