UN38.3 certification introduction
UN38.3 refers to Section 38.3 on lithium battery testing in the Manual of Tests and Criteria prepared by the United Nations Expert Committee on the Transport of Dangerous Goods. UN38.3 is a battery safety performance inspection report, and a complete set of safety performance tests are carried out on various models of batteries according to various domestic and foreign standards, ensuring product quality and safety for each battery manufacturer and improving export capabilities in accordance with various standards.
1) UN38.3 testing is a mandatory test taken to ensure that lithium batteries can safely undergo air and sea transportation.
2) The State Administration of Civil Aviation has issued the "Lithium Battery Air Transportation Specifications" to various air transport companies, which clearly requires lithium batteries to undergo UN38.3 testing before air and sea transportation. All airlines must receive and transport the lithium batteries on the premise of receiving the UN38.3 qualification report and transportation appraisal certificate of lithium batteries.
UN38.3 certified product range
UN38.3 mainly targets battery products, such as: lithium-ion batteries (such as mobile phone batteries, laptop batteries, digital product batteries, etc.), lithium metal batteries (such as iron lithium batteries, button batteries), nickel-hydrogen/nickel-cadmium batteries, alkaline batteries, large lithium power batteries, lead-acid batteries, other types of chemical batteries and battery cells.
