Air transport UN38.3 certification testing costs and cycle

un38.3 ensure air transport safety, and meet customer demand for the transport of lithium batteries containing the goods, according to the relevant provisions of the IATA "Dangerous Goods Regulations", to develop rechargeable lithium practices that UN38.3 (UNDOT) testing. According to the civil aviation regulatory requirements, airlines and airport cargo collection and transportation departments should review the lithium battery shipping documents, the most important is that each type of lithium battery UN38.3 safety inspection report. The report by a third party testing organization designated civil aviation, also be capable of detecting the ability of the battery manufacturers to provide. If you can not provide this test report, civil aviation air transportation of lithium batteries will be banned. UN38.3 refers to the United Nations specifically formulated for the transport of dangerous goods "UN Transport of Dangerous Goods Manual of Tests and Criteria," Part 3 38.3 paragraph, That requirement lithium transport before, it must be through a highly simulation, temperature cycling, vibration test, impact test, 55 ℃ external short circuit, impact test, overcharge test, forced discharge test, in order to ensure safe transport of lithium batteries. If the lithium battery and the device does not fit together, and each package built with more than 24 cells or 12 batteries, you must also by 1.2 m free drop test. Product Range 1. All kinds of lead-acid batteries (lead-acid batteries such as car boot, stationary lead-acid batteries, small VRLA batteries, etc.) 2. Various power secondary battery (such as battery-powered cars, electric road truck battery, power tools battery, hybrid battery, etc.) 3. All kinds of mobile phone batteries (such as lithium ion batteries, lithium polymer batteries, nickel-hydrogen batteries, etc.) 4. All kinds of small secondary battery (such as notebook computer batteries, digital camera batteries, camcorder batteries, a variety of cylindrical battery, wireless battery, portable DVD battery, CD and MP3 players, batteries, etc.) 5. All kinds of primary batteries (such as alkaline manganese batteries, lithium manganese batteries, etc. ) UN38.3 test items and test acceptance criteria determine UN38.3 test project T.1 Altitude simulation test under pressure ≤11.6kPa, temperature 20 ± 5 ℃ conditions. T.2 heat test under the conditions of 75 ± 2 ℃ and -40 ± 2 ℃ of high and low temperature impact test, stored in extreme temperatures time ≥6h, high and low temperature conversion time ≤30min, the impact of 10 times, at room temperature (20 ± 5 ℃) storage 24h, the total time of the test at least a week T.3 vibration test 15min from 200Hz 7Hz to complete a reciprocal logarithmic sweep sinusoidal vibration, completed in three dimensions 3h 12 times the vibration; logarithmic sweep as follows: from 7 Hz keeping 1gn maximum acceleration until 18 Hz is reached. The amplitude is then maintained at 0.8 mm (1.6 mm total excursion) and the frequency increased until a peak acceleration of 8gn (approximately 50 Hz). The maximum acceleration is maintained at 8gn until the frequency is increased to 200 Hz. T.4 impact test 150g, 6ms or 50g, 11ms half-sine shock, mounting direction three times each, a total of 18 times; T.5 external short circuit test at 55 ± 2 ℃, external resistance <0.1Ω short-circuit condition, short circuit It lasted until the battery temperature back after 55 ± 2 ℃ 1h. T.6 collision test 9.1kg weight from 61 ± 2.5cm height 15.8mm have put down in the rod cells, the detection cell surface temperature. T.7 overcharge test at 2 times the maximum continuous charge current and two times the maximum charge voltage conditions, the battery overcharge 24h. T.8 forced discharge test series 12V DC battery power, the maximum discharge current forced discharge. Testing to determine eligibility criteria (a) in the test T.1 to T.6, fire or disintegration did not occur. (B) the test T.1, T.2 and T.5, the effluent is not toxic, flammable or corrosive substances. 1> visual observation did not see or exhaust leakage. 2> not lead to weight loss than those shown in 38.3.4.7.1 or exhaust leakage. (C) in the test T.3 and T.6, the effluent is not toxic or corrosive substances. 1> visual observation did not see or exhaust leakage. 2> not lead to weight loss than those shown in 38.3.4.7.1 or exhaust leakage. Packaging requirements and conditions Package 1, unless installed in the device (if installed in mobile phones, cameras, radios, laptop computers, etc.), cells and primary batteries must be individually packaged to prevent short circuits and packed in strong outer packaging requirements. 2, unless installed in equipment, each package containing more than 24 if the original cell or 12 batteries must also meet the following requirements: 1) Each package must be marked with a description of the package that contains lithium batteries and damaged Special measures should be taken. 2) Each consignment must be described random file lithium batteries and special measures should be taken by the package damaged package is equipped. 3) Each package must be able to withstand any of the 1.2m drop test without damage to the battery or battery package elements inside and did not change the position in which the battery as well as battery and battery (or primary cells and primary batteries) each contacts, no battery leakage from the package. 4) Unless the lithium battery is installed in the device, or the gross weight of each package must not exceed 30kg. Conditions for transport of lithium batteries and lithium batteries if they meet all of the following conditions may be non-restricted items (non-hazardous) transportation. If any of the following conditions can not be met, it should UN3090 or UN3091 dangerous goods transport operators request (a), the restrictions on the lithium content of 1, for primary lithium metal or lithium alloy batteries, lithium content of not more than 1g; for lithium ion primary battery equivalent lithium content is not more than 1.5g. Note: The original battery, also known as do the battery dies. 2, for lithium metal or lithium alloy batteries, lithium content is not more than the total 2g, lithium ion battery equivalent lithium content of not more than 8g. Note: The above "lithium content" means the amount of lithium metal or lithium alloy batteries have a metallic lithium anode. As for the lithium-ion batteries, "equivalent lithium content" is calculated in grams multiplied by the nominal capacity is 0.3 ampere hours. For example: a cell phone lithium-ion battery rated capacity 800mah (800 mAh), then the "equivalent lithium content" is: 0.3 X 0.8 (ampere hours) = 0.24 g. (B), in line with UN testing requirements for each type of primary cells and batteries, has been tested and found to comply with "UN Transport of Dangerous Goods Manual of Tests and Criteria," Part 3 of all the requirements of paragraph 38.3. (Iii), packaging requirements 1, unless in equipment (if installed in mobile phones, cameras, radios, laptop computers, etc.), cells and primary batteries must be individually packaged to prevent short circuits and packed in sturdy packaging. 2, unless installed in equipment, each package containing more than 24 if the original cell or 12 batteries must also meet the following requirements: 1) Each package must be marked with a description of the package that contains lithium batteries and damaged Special measures should be taken. 2) Each consignment must be described random file lithium batteries and special measures should be taken by the package damaged package is equipped. 3) Each package must be able to withstand any of the 1.2m drop test without damage to the battery or battery package elements inside and did not change the position in which the battery as well as battery and battery (or primary cells and primary batteries) each contacts, no battery leakage from the package. 4) If the battery shipped separately gross weight of each package must not exceed 10kg.
