Magnis Energy Technologies Limited has issued an update on the UN 38.3 certification process for the cells produced by its subsidiary, iM3NY.
According to Magnis, iM3NY has successfully completed six out of the seven relevant tests for UN 38.3 certification, with one result now pending.
The final test has already commenced and is expected to conclude after a seven-day observation period.
An official report regarding the cell’s compliance to the UN 38.3 certification will be released after two weeks.
According to the company, lithium cells are classified as dangerous goods and can pose a safety risk if not tested and packaged according to transport regulations, adding that UN 38.3 testing helps ensure the safety of the cells during the shipping process.
The certification process involves a series of tests, including altitude simulation, thermal cycling, vibration, shock, external short circuits, impacts and forced discharge.
Once the cell has passed all tests, it can then be considered as UN 38.3 certified.
UN 38.3 certification is an internationally recognised standard established by the United Nations for the safe transportation of lithium-ion cells.
