What if the UN38.3 certification expires?

The content of the goods transportation condition evaluation report is composed of UN38.3 test report and 1.2 meter drop package test report (for single battery). UN38.3 is section 38.3 of the test and standard manual prepared by the United Nations Committee of experts on the transport of dangerous goods on the detection of lithium batteries.

The origin of UN38.3 certification is based on the following two points:

1. Growth of battery goods: with the increasing transportation of mobile phones, laptops and other goods containing lithium batteries, the hidden dangers brought by safe operation are also increasing.

2. Ensure safety: to ensure the safety of air transportation and meet the transportation needs of customers for goods containing lithium batteries. According to the relevant provisions of the dangerous goods rules of the International Air Transport Association, the operation specifications for rechargeable lithium batteries are formulated.

UN38.3 what to do when the report expires

The validity period of UN38.3 certification air and sea transportation appraisal is special and is valid for the current year. For example, the UN38.3 certificate obtained on January 1, 2014 is valid until December 31, 2014. The time beyond December 31, 2014 has entered the second year. After that, the certificate is invalid and needs to be updated. You can apply for certificate update.
