How to apply for lithium battery product hazard certificate?

Our daily use of watches, mobile phones, computers, electric vehicles, etc. most of the power comes from lithium batteries, with the increasing application of lithium batteries, lithium battery transportation accidents emerge in an endless stream, tragedies occur from time to time, as a professional dangerous goods logistics provider, today to talk to you about the shipping and transportation of lithium battery products.

Lithium batteries can be roughly divided into two categories: 1: lithium metal batteries 2: lithium-ion batteries

Different categories of lithium batteries also have different divisions according to the international transportation of products:

1: Lithium metal batteries belong to Class 9 dangerous goods UN3090

2: Lithium-ion batteries belong to Class 9 dangerous goods UN3480

Lithium batteries can be divided into two situations according to the different transportation packaging situations:

1: Separately packed lithium battery cargo

2: Lithium battery goods installed in the equipment (where lithium-ion batteries are UN3481; lithium metal batteries are UN3091 Lithium battery drive equipment is UN3171)

Since the dangerous goods of lithium batteries are so large, is the export of lithium batteries particularly strict, and it is necessary to provide a lot of information? In fact, lithium battery shipping export only needs to provide the following information:

1: MSDS in Chinese and English (it is a comprehensive regulatory document on the characteristics of chemicals provided by chemical production, trading and sales enterprises to downstream customers and the public in accordance with legal requirements).

2: Dangerous package certificate (dangerous package certificate mainly contains performance certificates and use certificates, performance lists are relatively simple, generally can make regular packaging manufacturers can provide, but the use of certificates is more complicated, need to cooperate with the hazard identification and performance of the list to the factory local commodity inspection bureau application)

3: Customs declaration information (a set of customs declaration materials include: box list, invoice, contract, customs declaration form, agent customs declaration power of attorney and declaration elements)

Due to the danger of lithium batteries, the accidents caused by violations in their packaging and transportation have also received more and more attention, and various management agencies have also introduced many restrictive requirements:

1: Lithium batteries and lithium battery equipment must be divided into nine categories of dangerous goods, declared according to dangerous goods, and provide corresponding dangerous package certificates

2: The battery must pass the UN38.3 test requirements and the 1.2 meter drop crash test

3: It is necessary to have packaging that meets the transportation requirements, in addition to the corresponding product name and UN number on the outer packaging, it must also be labeled with nine types of dangerous goods, and the container should be affixed with corresponding dangerous labels around it

4: The packing of lithium batteries also needs to be well reinforced, such as the use of pallet loading, the use of airbag reinforcement between the gaps, to prevent crush collisions, packing can not be stacked, etc

Lithium battery product export process:

1: First of all, enterprises need to have import and export qualifications:

2: Dangerous goods need to provide dangerous package certificates seven working days in advance, MSDS in Chinese and English, cargo detailed data tray, etc. to submit to the shipping department for review (some shipping companies are prohibited from taking lithium batteries, and the booking needs to choose the appropriate shipping company);

3: After the cabin is down, it is necessary to carry the box, with the box seal number with the original dangerous package certificate, it is necessary to do the maritime declaration of dangerous goods before intercepting the declaration, which must grasp the time node of the interception and the issuance of the manifest;

4: Heavy container return to port, heavy container return to port on the way to complete customs declaration, inspection, some ports are advanced port after customs declaration, some are first declared after entering the port, dangerous goods plan is also accepted separately, rather than according to the port opening plan of the wharf;

5: After the dangerous goods enter the port, the terminal will send arrival information, there must be arrival information, and after having the arrival information, you can wait for the ship with peace of mind.

With the development of science and technology, the increasing maturity of lithium battery technology, and the popular trend of green low-carbon life, Europe is expected to start in 2023, new energy electric vehicles will fully replace fuel vehicles, making the export volume of lithium battery products increase year by year, of which the export of lithium battery drive equipment is more explosive trend

Lithium battery drive equipment belongs to UN3171, class 9 dangerous goods (electric bicycles, electric vehicles belong to this category)
