Batteries, to some extent, are dangerous goods and therefore have their own special requirements for export certification, transportation and packaging unlike ordinary goods. There are also some products, especially all kinds of mobile devices such as Bluetooth speakers, Bluetooth headphones, mobile power supply, and so on, almost all have batteries. Let’s introduce about the lithium battery UN38.3 certification in the transportation of KEY POINT content, welcome to read!
Lithium battery UN38.3 certification.
UN38.3 is applied almost globally and belongs to safety and performance tests. Paragraph 38.3 of Part 3 of the United Nations Manual of Tests and Criteria for the Transport of dangerous Goods, developed by the United Nations specifically for the transport of dangerous goods, that is, before the transport of lithium batteries, Must pass the high simulation, high and low temperature cycle, vibration test, impact test, 55℃ outside short circuit, impact test, overcharge, forced discharge test, etc., to ensure the transportation safety of lithium battery. If lithium batteries are not installed with the equipment and each pack contains more than 24 cells or 12 batteries, a free drop test of 1.2 meters is required.
Three key point in transportation
1. Report for lithium battery
MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet) is dangerous chemicals production or sales enterprise according to the regulations to provide a report on chemical composition, physical and chemical parameters, combustion properties, toxicity, environmental hazards, and safe use, storage condition, leakage emergency handling, transportation, regulations and other 16 content information comprehensive description file. An air transport condition identification report is required when chemicals are transported by air, but as there is no similar identification in sea transport, A MSDS is required to determine whether the product is seaworthy to ensure safe transport.
2. Aviation Report
For the shipment of battery products from China (excluding Hong Kong) , the air identification report shall be examined by a dangerous goods identification agency directly authorized by CAAC. The main contents include: the name of the goods and enterprise identification, the main physical and chemical properties, the dangerous characteristics of the goods to be transported, the laws and regulations on the basis of identification, emergency handling methods, etc. Aimed at providing transport units with information directly related to transport safety.
3. Sea Report
Sea Report is to ensure life and property security, according to
