[Manufacturing] - Environmental Test Chamber for UN 38.3 Lithium Batteries Testing

October 25, 2022

Sanwood provides the environmental test chambers that meet UN38.3 test requirements, to ensure the safety of lithium batteries during transportation.

Standard UN 38.3 is important to note that lithium batteries have been identified as a Class 9 dangerous good, during transport. To be safely transported (by air, sea, rail or roadways), they must meet the provisions laid out in Standard UN 38.3.

This standard applies to batteries transported either on their own or installed in a device (UN codes 3090/3091 for lithium, 3480/3481 for lithium-ion). And it applies to all points in the battery’s transportation process: from sub-suppliers to end-product manufacturer; manufacturer to distributor; in or out of the product; in the field; during product returns or with non-original packaging.

UN 38.3 has been adopted by regulators and competent authorities around the world, thus making it a requirement for global market access. The protocol includes identifying/classifying lithium batteries; testing/qualification requirements; design guidance/conditions and packaging/shipping obligations.

According to the test requirements of UN38.3, Sanwood provides the following environmental test chamber solutions:
T1 – Altitude Simulation (Primary and Secondary Cells and Batteries)
T2 – Thermal Test (Primary and Secondary Cells and Batteries)
T3 – Vibration (Primary and Secondary Cells and Batteries)
T4 – Shock (Primary and Secondary Cells and Batteries)
T5 – Internal Short Circuit (Primary and Secondary Cells and Batteries)
T6 – Impact (Primary and Secondary Cells)
