Did you know that as dangerous goods, power banks must meet strict safety standards when transported internationally? The most important of these is UN38.3 certification, which directly determines whether your product can be legally exported.
What is UN38.3 certification?
🔹 Applicable to all lithium battery products, including power banks, electric vehicle batteries, laptop batteries, etc.
🔹 Formulated by the United Nations, it involves multiple tests such as high altitude low pressure, temperature shock, short circuit, impact, overcharging, etc.
🔹 Power banks that have not passed UN38.3 cannot pass international logistics customs clearance, and some countries even prohibit their sales.
Risks of unqualified power banks
⚠️ Export obstruction: Power banks without UN38.3 may be intercepted or even destroyed at customs.
⚠️ Safety hazards: Batteries that have not passed the test may catch fire or explode in extreme environments.
⚠️ Damage to brand reputation: Non-compliant products are prone to customer complaints and returns, affecting brand reputation.
How to ensure that the power bank is compliant?
✅ Choose a regular battery supplier to ensure that the battery itself meets international standards.
✅ Ask the supplier for a UN38.3 test report, and don’t just listen to the other party’s verbal promises.
✅ Cooperate with experienced manufacturers to ensure that the whole machine complies with relevant regulations.
Conclusion
If your power bank does not have UN38.3 certification, it will not only face export risks, but may also bring serious safety issues. Only by ensuring product compliance can you have smooth access to the international market!
