UN 38.3
UN Manual of Tests and Criteria, Part III, Sub-section 38.3 — Lithium metal and lithium ion batteries
Published by United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE)
The standard itself, at United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE)What this standard covers, in our words
The international TRANSPORT test series a lithium battery must pass to be shipped by air, sea or road — altitude simulation, thermal cycling, vibration, shock, external short circuit, impact/crush, overcharge and forced discharge. It establishes that a cell or pack is safe to TRANSPORT. It says nothing about whether the battery is safe in use, and it implies no product or vehicle standard. Makers list it beside safety certifications constantly.
This is our summary, not the standard’s own wording — the text itself is published by United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) and it is the document to read before relying on anything here.
This standard is an independent claim about the products listed below — holding this certification does not imply compliance with any other standard.
