Frequently Asked Questions
- What does the UN38.3 certification mean for the HB3 air pump battery?
-
UN38.3 is the internationally recognised test standard for lithium batteries intended for transport. It requires batteries to pass eight specific tests — including altitude simulation, thermal cycling, vibration, shock, external short circuit, impact or crush, overcharge, and forced discharge. The battery pack inside the HB3 has passed all eight tests, confirming it is safe for transport by air, road, sea, and rail under applicable regulations.
- Is the HB3 battery pack classified as a dangerous good for shipping purposes?
-
No. The classification report (Issued No. AEKSZ202510300901ZP320001) concludes that the battery pack is Not Restricted under ADR Special Provision 188. At 29.6 Wh, the battery is well below the 100 Wh threshold for equipment-contained lithium-ion batteries, allowing it to ship without dangerous goods documentation when all Special Provision 188 conditions are met.
- What packaging and labelling requirements apply when shipping the HB3?
-
Packages containing the HB3 must be marked according to ADR Special Provision 188, must withstand a 1.2 m drop test in any orientation, and must be accompanied by a document stating that the package contains lithium-ion batteries, must be handled with care due to flammability risk if damaged, includes special handling procedures in case of damage, and provides a telephone number for further information.
- How long is this UN38.3 transport classification report valid?
-
The report is valid for one year from its issue date of 2025-10-30, meaning it remains in force until 2026-10-30. After that date, a new identification and classification assessment would be required to continue using this report for transport documentation purposes.
