UN 38.3 Transport Testing and Certification for Lithium Batteries and Lithium Battery Packs
"38.3 certification" for lithium batteries generally refers to the lithium battery safety testing standards specified in Section 38.3 of the United Nations' "Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods - Manual of Tests and Criteria." This certification is an internationally recognized safety assessment requirement for lithium batteries, designed to ensure their safety during transportation.
Key Points:
Scope of Application of UN 38.3
It applies to all types of lithium metal and lithium-ion batteries (including cells and battery packs), regardless of their intended use (e.g., consumer electronics, electric vehicles, energy storage systems, etc.). It is a mandatory certification required by organizations such as the International Air Transport Association (IATA) and the International Maritime Organization (IMO).
Necessity of Certification
UN 38.3 certification is a prerequisite for lithium batteries to be transported by air, sea, or land. Batteries that fail to pass certification may be classified as dangerous goods, resulting in transportation restrictions or fines. Other relevant certifications
Domestic: China may require compliance with GB 31241 (Portable Battery Safety Standard). International: Requirements include IEC 62133 (Battery Safety Standard) and UL 1642 (US Safety Certification). Shipping documents: A UN 38.3 test report and MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet) are required.
