Introduction to UN 38.3 Certification Testing
Testing standards
UN 38.3 certification is developed by the United Nations Committee of Experts on the Transport of Dangerous Goods to ensure the safety of lithium batteries and equipment containing lithium batteries during air transport. should
Certification includes a series of rigorous testing items:
High altitude simulation test: Place lithium batteries or equipment in a simulated low-pressure environment at an altitude of 15000 meters for 6 hours to observe whether there will be any abnormal situations such as leakage, exhaust, disassembly, or fire, in order to evaluate the safety of the product in the low-pressure environment of air transportation.
Thermal testing: First, store the product in a high temperature environment of 72 ℃ for 12 hours, then transfer it to a low temperature environment of -40 ℃ for 12 hours, and finally return it to an environment of 20 ℃ for 12 hours. Through this cycle of testing, verify the performance stability of the product under different temperature conditions to ensure that safety issues will not be caused by temperature changes. Vibration test: Conduct vibration tests on the product for 90 minutes in three mutually perpendicular directions with an amplitude of 1.15mm and a frequency of 10-55Hz per minute, simulating the vibrations that the product may experience during transportation, and detecting whether there are safety hazards such as short circuits and shell ruptures in the vibration environment.
Impact test: The product is subjected to a peak acceleration of 150gn and an impact pulse of 6ms, with three impacts in three mutually perpendicular directions. Through this test, the safety of the product is evaluated in the event of accidental impact.
External short circuit test: Short circuit the lithium battery externally to a short-circuit current of not less than 50A for 5-6 hours, observe whether the product will encounter dangerous situations such as fire and explosion, and ensure the safety of the product in the event of a short circuit.
Overcharge test: Charge the rechargeable lithium battery with 1.2 times the maximum charging current and 1.2 times the maximum charging voltage for 24 hours to test the safety of the product under overcharging conditions.
Forced discharge test: Conduct forced discharge on lithium batteries to evaluate their safety under abnormal discharge conditions.
Applicable products
Lithium ion batteries: Lithium ion batteries used in various mobile phones, laptops, power banks, and other devices, as well as lithium ion battery packs sold separately, must pass UN 38.3 certification testing in order to be transported by air.
Lithium metal batteries: Lithium metal batteries commonly used in devices such as pacemakers and wireless sensors also require UN 38.3 certification testing before air transportation.
Equipment containing lithium batteries: In addition to the batteries themselves, equipment containing lithium batteries such as power tools, drones, balance vehicles, etc. also need to meet the requirements of UN 38.3 certification during air transportation.
