What does UN38.3 certification mean for the ETENWOLF L1 Mini Torch?

UN38.3 certification means the lithium-ion battery inside the ETENWOLF L1 Mini Torch has passed all eight required tests — altitude simulation, thermal cycling, vibration, shock, external short circuit, impact/crush, overcharge, and forced discharge — confirming it is safe for air transport as defined by the UN Manual of Tests and Criteria, Part III, Sub-section 38.3.

Can the ETENWOLF L1 Mini Torch be transported on passenger aircraft?

Yes. The battery is classified under IATA DGR Packing Instruction 967, Section II, which permits transport on both passenger and cargo aircraft, provided applicable quantity and packaging requirements are met.

How long is the UN38.3 report valid?

The report is valid within the calendar year in which the IATA DGR 66th Edition (2025) is in effect. A new identification report is typically required when a new edition of the IATA DGR is published, or if the product or battery specification changes.

Who conducted the UN38.3 tests for the ETENWOLF L1 battery?

The physical tests were conducted by Waltek Testing Group Co., Ltd., an independent testing laboratory based in Dongguan, Guangdong, China. The identification and classification report was issued by Beijing DGM Air Transport Technology Development Co., Ltd. (DGM China).
