The UN38.3 Test Summary (Test Report No. WTH2SP05260771B) was completed by Waltek Testing Group Co., Ltd. on 2025-10-22. The edition of the UN Manual of Tests and Criteria used was ST/SG/AC.10/11/Rev.8, Subsection 38.3 (9th edition). All eight required tests passed:
| Test | Description | Result |
|---|---|---|
| T1 | Altitude Simulation | Pass |
| T2 | Thermal Test | Pass |
| T3 | Vibration | Pass |
| T4 | Shock | Pass |
| T5 | External Short Circuit | Pass |
| T6 | Impact / Crush | Pass |
| T7 | Overcharge | Pass |
| T8 | Forced Discharge | Pass |
Standards & Compliance
The Air Pump PUMP5 (HB3) battery pack was tested and classified in accordance with the following standards and regulations:
- UN Manual of Tests and Criteria, ST/SG/AC.10/11/Rev.8, Part III, Sub-section 38.3 (9th Edition) — the globally recognized standard for lithium battery safety testing covering altitude simulation, thermal stress, vibration, shock, short circuit, impact/crush, overcharge, and forced discharge.
- IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations (DGR), 66th Edition, 2025 — governs the safe transport of dangerous goods by air, including lithium batteries contained in equipment.
- IATA DGR Packing Instruction 967 (PI 967), Section II — applicable to lithium-ion batteries contained in equipment not exceeding 100 Wh per battery.
- IATA DGR Section 3.9.2.6.1(e) — quality management program requirements for lithium battery manufacturers.
The watt-hour rating of 29.6 Wh places this battery well within the threshold limits for Section II of PI 967, allowing transport on both passenger and cargo aircraft subject to standard conditions. Each package bears the required battery mark as mandated by IATA DGR.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is UN38.3 certification and why does the Air Pump PUMP5 need it?
-
UN38.3 is the internationally recognized safety standard for lithium batteries defined in the UN Manual of Tests and Criteria, Part III, Sub-section 38.3. It requires batteries to pass eight tests covering altitude simulation, thermal extremes, vibration, shock, external short circuit, impact/crush, overcharge, and forced discharge. The Air Pump PUMP5 (HB3) requires this certification because it contains a lithium-ion battery pack (2S2P-4000, 29.6 Wh), and UN38.3 compliance is a mandatory prerequisite for air transport under IATA DGR.
- Can the Air Pump PUMP5 be transported on passenger aircraft?
-
Yes. According to this classification report, the Air Pump PUMP5 (HB3) qualifies under IATA DGR Packing Instruction 967, Section II. With a watt-hour rating of 29.6 Wh — well below the 100 Wh threshold — the device is permitted on both passenger and cargo aircraft, provided batteries are protected against short circuits and the equipment includes an effective means of preventing accidental activation.
