Introduction to UN38.3 Certification
UN38.3 Certification: Air Transport Condition Identification Report, full name: United Nations Dangerous Goods Transport Experiments and Standards Manual, Part 38.3 (Requirements for the safe transportation of lithium batteries)
In order to ensure the safety of air transportation and meet the customer's transportation requirements for lithium-containing battery goods, according to the relevant provisions of the IATA "Dangerous Goods Regulations", the operation specification of rechargeable lithium battery, that is, the test of UN38.3 (UNDOT) is formulated. . According to the requirements of civil aviation regulations, airlines and airport cargo collection and transportation departments should review the transportation documents of lithium batteries. The most important is the safety test report of each type of lithium battery UN38.3. That is to say, before the lithium battery is transported, it must pass the high simulation, high and low temperature cycle, vibration test, impact test, 55 ° C external short circuit, impact test, overcharge test, forced discharge test to ensure the safety of lithium battery transportation. If the lithium battery is not installed with the equipment and there are more than 24 batteries or 12 batteries in each package, a 1.2-meter free drop test is also required.
The Consumer Product Safety Association (CPSC) has announced that all manufacturers, importers, and distributors of balance vehicles (including twisting vehicles) must produce, import, and sell balance vehicles in the United States that meet new safety standards, including UL2272 balance. Car circuit system certification standard, UL2271 balance car lithium battery new standard. In addition, all balance car batteries must meet UN38.3 certification requirements.
The lithium battery UN38.3 report can be provided by a third-party testing agency designated by the civil aviation or by a battery manufacturer with testing capabilities. If this test report is not available, civil aviation will ban lithium batteries for air transportation. .
Attachment: 2018 lithium battery UN38.3 transportation identification renewal instructions:
On February 22, 2016, the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) Committee adopted the recommendations of the ICAO Air Navigation Commission:
Approved the revision of the regulations on lithium battery transportation in its technical guide. The new regulations will be officially implemented on April 1, 2016. modify
The new regulations include: state of charge limitation: The charge capacity (SOC) of lithium-ion cells and batteries must not exceed 30%.
Includes Section II battery and battery. This does not apply to batteries that are packaged with or included in the device.
Package quantity limit: The number of Section II packages (only batteries) in each shipment shipped by the sender must not exceed one.
Collection Packaging Restrictions: There must be no more than one Section II package (8 cells or 2 battery packs) in a collection package.
The battery is shipped separately: The sender must ship the lithium battery shipment (only the battery) separately from the other shipments.
