Re: [PSES] Proving UN38.3 certification of common batteries.

[Gartman, Richard]

All,
Thank you for starting this discussion.

UN 38.3 is required by ICAO and IATA for air shipments worldwide. US DOT is 
working on aligning their requirements with this. UN 38.3 does not apply to 
train, truck, or boat transportation. Unless you make a rechargeable lithium 
battery that will never, ever be shipped by FedEX or UPS air, then this 
requirement applies. It is a physical test to ensure the battery does not come 
apart during shipment and create a hazard. It does not have any product 
performance requirements in it. China has added new twist, where manufacturer 
testing to UN 38.3 is no longer acceptable, it has to be a Chinese national lab 
and certified. ICAO and IATA accept manufacturing test data. No third party 
required.

There are packing and package labeling requirements as well for shipment of 
rechargeable lithium batteries. another discussion thread.

Subject: Re: Proving UN38.3 certification of common batteries.

Why are the batteries required to supply UN38.3 certification in case of 
transportation by air to US and China?  If they are transported by sea, is this 
doc required?  What is the corresponding requirements for the goods to EU 
countries?

Thanks and regards,

To allow transportation within China, I need to prove the UN38.3 certification

conditions prevent me from doing something sensible like removing the batteries 
prior to shipment and having them installed at destination. It is proving near 
impossible to get any dialog going with the major battery makers involved. I am 
almost certain their products must already have this certification because of 
their global markets. Any ideas on how to get a UN38.3 test report for a common 
battery that does not require direct communication with the OEM?

[PSES] Kuwait regulations

[Gartman, Richard]

Panel of experts,

Question: 
What are the necessary requirements (Product safety, EMC, registration, etc. ) 
to ship a battery operated calculator with a USB connection into Kuwait? The 
calculator has a rechargeable lithium battery (800mAHr). The battery can be 
recharged by a standard USB connection (5V 500mA). We do have an EU designed AC 
adapter (wall wort) for this purpose that has the GS mark.

Your advice is appreciated.

[PSES] Rechargeable Lithium Batteries in Australia

[Gartman, Richard]

Community,

I have been looking at Australia's regulation with regard to rechargeable 
lithium batteries. I am at a loss at finding regulations related to the 
rechargeable batteries. There are the IATA, UL and IEC standards that I can 
find. Are there any specific Australia regulations related to rechargeable 
lithium batteries ... those ones that will go in a smart phone?

I appreciate any guidance you may have.

Thanks

Benchmarking Request:

[Gartman, Richard]

As part of our regular review of our corporate Product Safety Policy, I would 
like to do a quick high level benchmarking what others are doing regarding 
product safety in their companies.

1. Do you have a company Product Safety policy, approved at Sr. Management 
lever?
2. Do you have a product safety committee? Company wide or just 
product/business group focused?
3. What organization does the product safety function operate in? (QC, Product 
Engineering, Supply Chain, etc.)

Thank you for your support and have a great day.
