Frequently Asked Questions

What does UN38.3 certification mean for the V3 Air Inflator?
UN38.3 certification confirms that the lithium-ion battery in the V3 Air Inflator has passed all required safety tests for air transportation, including altitude simulation, thermal cycling, vibration, shock, external short circuit, impact, overcharge, and forced discharge tests. This certification is mandatory for shipping lithium batteries by air.
Can I bring my V3 Air Inflator on an airplane?
Yes, the V3 Air Inflator with its 28.86Wh battery is classified under UN3481 PI 967 Section II, which allows air transport. With a watt-hour rating of 28.86Wh (under the 100Wh limit), it is generally permitted in carry-on or checked baggage, though you should always verify with your specific airline’s policies before travel.
What is the UN3481 classification for the V3?
UN3481 is the United Nations identification number for ‘Lithium ion batteries contained in equipment.’ The V3 Air Inflator falls under Packing Instruction 967 Section II, which applies to lithium-ion batteries with watt-hour rating not exceeding 100Wh that are contained within equipment. This classification ensures proper handling and documentation during air transport.
How long is the UN38.3 certification valid?
The UN38.3 certification report issued by DGM China is valid within the year that the IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations edition used for testing remains current. Typically, IATA DGR is updated annually on January 1st, so certifications must be renewed or reissued when major regulatory changes occur to ensure continued compliance with the latest safety standards.
