Final Classification: The product is classified as Not Restricted as per ADR Special Provision 188. No UN Number or Hazard Class/Division applies.
Standards & Compliance
The identification and classification of the HB1 Air Pump PUMP MINI battery pack was conducted against the following standards and regulatory provisions:
- UN Manual of Tests and Criteria, Part III, Sub-section 38.3 — the primary test standard governing lithium battery safety for transport; all individual test requirements were met
- ADR Special Provision 188 — European Agreement concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road; the battery pack qualifies as Not Restricted under this provision due to its low watt-hour rating (4.07 Wh, below the 20 Wh cell threshold)
- IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations (DGR) — international air transport rules for lithium batteries; the classification supports compliant air shipment
- IMDG Code Special Provision 188 — international maritime transport regulations applicable to small lithium cells and batteries contained in equipment
The watt-hour rating of 4.07 Wh places this battery well within the thresholds for reduced regulatory burden under all major transport modes. All packaging, marking, and documentation requirements under Special Provision 188 must be observed by the shipper.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Q: What is UN38.3 and why is it required for the HB1 Air Pump?
-
UN38.3 refers to Sub-section 38.3 of Part III of the UN Manual of Tests and Criteria. It specifies a series of safety tests — including altitude simulation, thermal cycling, vibration, shock, external short circuit, impact/crush, overcharge, and forced discharge — that lithium batteries must pass before they can be transported by air, sea, or road. The HB1 Air Pump PUMP MINI contains a lithium-ion battery pack, so UN38.3 certification is mandatory for its legal international shipment.
- Q: What does ‘Not Restricted’ mean for the HB1 battery pack?
-
‘Not Restricted’ means the lithium-ion battery pack in the HB1 Air Pump does not need to be declared as dangerous goods for transport, provided all conditions of ADR/IATA/IMDG Special Provision 188 are met. These conditions include keeping watt-hour rating below 20 Wh per cell (the HB1 battery is 4.07 Wh), proper packaging, correct marking, and inclusion of a consignment document with emergency contact information.
- Q: How long is the UN38.3 certificate for the HB1 valid?
-
The UN38.3 identification report (No. AEKSZ202510307634ZP600001) issued by DGM China is valid for one year from its effective date of 2025-10-30, meaning it remains valid until 2026-10-29. After expiry, a renewal assessment must be completed before continued international shipment.
- Q: Who issued the UN38.3 certificate for the HB1 and are they accredited?
-
The certificate was issued by Beijing DGM Air Transport Technology Development Co., Ltd. (DGM China), an accredited dangerous goods classification laboratory holding CNAS accreditation number IB0078. CNAS (China National Accreditation Service for Conformity Assessment) is China’s national accreditation body and a signatory to international mutual recognition arrangements, ensuring the report is globally recognized.
