Drone battery UN38.3 Certification: A necessary step to ensure flight safety

With the rapid development of science and technology today, drones have become an indispensable part of our daily life and work. They shine in many fields such as aerial photography, logistics, and agriculture, greatly facilitating our lives. However, with the popularity of drone use, its safety issues have become increasingly prominent, especially the safety of drone batteries. At this time, UN38.3 authentication is particularly important.

What is UN38.3 Certification?

UN38.3 refers to Section 38.3 of the United Nations Manual of Tests and Standards for the Transport of dangerous Goods specially developed by the United Nations for the transport of dangerous goods, which requires that lithium batteries must pass height simulation, high and low temperature cycle, vibration test, impact test, 55℃ external short circuit, impact test, overcharge test, forced discharge test, before transportation. To ensure the safety of lithium battery transportation. If the lithium battery is not installed with the device, and each package contains more than 24 cells or 12 batteries, it must also pass the 1.2 m free drop test.

When applying for UN38.3 certification, you need to prepare the following documents:

Product specifications, battery specifications, battery safety data sheets (MSDS), battery design drawings and related test reports, etc.

The application process usually includes:

Submit application materials, sample testing, review and evaluation, and issue certificates. Throughout the process, professional organizations will conduct a full range of safety performance tests on the battery.

The UN38.3 certification not only ensures the safety performance of the drone battery, but also enhances the market competitiveness of the product, while complying with international transportation standards and facilitating the global circulation of the product.

The UN38.3 certification of UAV batteries is an indispensable part of ensuring flight safety. It can not only effectively evaluate the safety performance of the battery, but also facilitate the international circulation of the product.
