Comprendre UN38.3 : le test de transport du lithium

Ce que couvre l'essai, qui l'exige et quels documents accompagnent chaque envoi.

UN38.3 is the UN manual of tests and criteria section 38.3 for lithium cells: altitude simulation, thermal cycling, vibration, shock, external short circuit, impact and overcharge tests.

Cells must pass all tests before carriage — the certificate is required for air transport and widely requested for sea freight of lithium batteries.

We supply UN38.3 test reports with every lithium coin cell shipment; the documents cover the exact cell model and batch shipped.

The EU Battery Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 adds declaration duties — our EU battery information portal keeps the per-model declarations available to buyers.
