According to the proposal, test and standard manual on the transportation of dangerous goods by United Nations, batteries are dangerous during use and transportation. How to be known is that UN38.3 test report is required for air transportation of batteries. UN38.3 is the battery safety performance test report. UN38.3 is used during air transportation and daily normal use and storage. Battery UN38.3 test (battery safety performance test) has become a test report that must be submitted when transporting lithium batteries. A full set of safety performance tests are carried out for various types of batteries according to various domestic and foreign standards, so as to ensure the product quality and safety for all battery manufacturers, meet various standards and improve the ability to earn foreign exchange through export.
