Update time : 2024-05-06

Chapter 38.3 of the United Nations "Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods - Manual of Tests and Criteria" - Lithium Metal and Lithium Ion Batteries specifies the procedures to be followed for classification during the transportation of lithium metal and lithium ion batteries. Lithium batteries and equipment/vehicles with lithium batteries are generally required to pass the un38.3 test before transportation.

 

A package 1.2m drop test

a Applicable to small energy lithium batteries transported alone or packaged with equipment.

Note: Small energy lithium battery:

i. Lithium metal cells with a lithium content not exceeding 1g or lithium metal batteries with a lithium content not exceeding 2g;

ii. Lithium ion cells with a rated Watt-hour value not exceeding 20 W · h or batteries with a rated Watt-hour value not exceeding 100 W · h.

(The work done with 1W of power in 1H is defined as 1W·H. That is, calculated using W=PT. For example, the common kilowatt-hour is the electric energy consumed by an electrical appliance with a power of 1KW to do work for 1H.)

aNot applicable to lithium batteries installed in the device

bNot suitable for high-energy lithium batteries

Note: High-energy lithium batteries refer to lithium batteries that exceed the limit of small-energy lithium batteries.

 

customized test

A. Customized testing of various types of batteries;

B. The laboratory undertakes customized testing services for various standard or non-standard batteries. We can provide personalized testing solutions and carry out corresponding testing (involving various types of battery electrical performance and safety performance testing) based on customer-specified standards or requirements.

 

ØReference standard
