UN 38.3 Certification is mandatory to safely transport batteries by any means of transport : by air, by ship or by land, both nationally and internationally, and to avoid sanctions or customs detentions, and to ensure that there are no dangers during transport.
UN38.3 is the test that certifies the suitability of batteries, as it confirms that the batteries have passed all the selective tests required by the standard.
What happens in case of irregularities?
During checks and inspections, the presence of the Certification is verified. If missing, the goods are stopped and administrative fines or criminal penalties are imposed as prescribed by national and international regulations.
Documentary irregularities affect all parties involved:
- End customer
- Importer

In conclusion, the UN 38.3 certification serves to verify the suitability of batteries for transport in various modes, in compliance with ADR, RID, ADN, IMDG and IATA regulations.
