Introduction to UN38.3 Certification
1. In order to ensure the safety of air transportation and satisfy the customers'transportation demand for lithium-containing battery cargo, according to the relevant provisions of IATA Dangerous Goods Rules, the operational specification of rechargeable lithium battery, namely UN38.3 (UNDOT) test, is formulated. According to the requirements of civil aviation regulations, airlines and airport cargo handling departments should review the transport documents of lithium batteries. The most important thing is the UN38.3 safety test report for each type of lithium batteries. That is to say, before transportation of lithium batteries, the safety of transportation of lithium batteries can be guaranteed only through height simulation, high and low temperature cycle, vibration test, impact test, 55 C external short circuit, impact test, overcharge test and forced discharge test. If the lithium batteries are not installed with the equipment, and each package contains more than 24 batteries or 12 batteries, the free drop test of 1.2 meters is required.
2. The Consumer Product Safety Association (CPSC) declares that all manufacturers, importers and distributors of balanced cars (including torsion cars) that are manufactured, imported and sold in the United States must meet new safety standards, including UL2272 Balanced Vehicle Circuit System Certification Standard and UL2271 Balanced Vehicle Lithium Battery New Standard. In addition, all Balanced Vehicle Batteries must meet the UN38.3 certification requirements. The UN38.3 report for lithium batteries can be provided by a third-party testing agency designated by civil aviation, or by a battery manufacturer with testing capability. If this test report is not available, civil aviation will prohibit the transport of lithium batteries by air.
