Lithium batteries are used in almost every electronic product today. Mobile phones, laptops, power banks, electric vehicles, medical devices, and many other products depend on lithium-ion and lithium metal batteries.
Because lithium batteries store high energy, they can be risky if they are not tested and handled correctly. To control these risks, international transport authorities require a safety standard called UN 38.3 Certification for Lithium Batteries.
If your business manufactures, imports, exports, or sells lithium batteries or battery-operated products, UN 38.3 compliance is mandatory for legal shipping.
This page explains UN 38.3 certification requirements, process, documents, cost, and how we help you get UN 38.3 approval quickly and smoothly.
UN 38.3 is an international safety testing standard created by the United Nations for the safe transportation of lithium batteries.
It is part of the UN Manual of Tests and Criteria – Section 38.3, which defines the testing process that every lithium battery must pass before it can be shipped by:
UN 38.3 Certification confirms that a lithium battery is safe for transportation.
Without UN 38.3 testing and approval, lithium batteries cannot be shipped to most countries.
A UN 38.3 Registration Certificate is an official document issued after a lithium battery passes all required UN 38.3 safety tests.
This certificate proves that:
Whenever you ship lithium batteries internationally, airlines, courier companies, and customs departments ask for this certificate.
Lithium batteries contain chemicals that can create problems if they are damaged, overheated, or poorly manufactured. Unsafe lithium batteries can cause:
To reduce these dangers, UN 38.3 testing has been made compulsory across the world.
Without UN 38.3 compliance, your shipment can be stopped, rejected, or returned.
UN 38.3 certification is required for:
Companies producing:
Businesses selling products with built-in lithium batteries such as:
Any company involved in:
Sellers shipping products with lithium batteries through:
Courier and cargo companies require UN 38.3 documents before accepting lithium battery shipments.
UN 38.3 certification is required for:
Whether the battery is small or large, cheap or costly, standalone or inside a device – UN 38.3 testing is required for transportation.
To receive a UN 38.3 certificate, lithium batteries must pass eight safety tests. These tests check how batteries behave in different transport conditions.
Checks battery safety in low air pressure conditions like inside aircraft.
Tests battery performance under very high and very low temperatures.
Simulates vibrations during road, sea, and air transport.
Checks battery resistance to sudden impacts.
Confirms that the battery remains safe if short circuit happens.
Tests battery strength against physical damage.
Ensures the battery does not become dangerous when overcharged.
Checks safety when the battery is discharged beyond limits.
Only after passing all these tests, a battery becomes eligible for:
During certification, three main documents are prepared:
A full technical report issued by the testing laboratory.
A short document required by airlines and shipping companies.
Final approval certificate used for customs and logistics.
All three documents are required for smooth international shipping.
