Hi, I am looking into making battery packs out of lithium iron batteries, and have a couple of questions about shipping them. Do I need the UN/DOT 38.3 certification if I were to just ship via ground as a class 9 hazardous good? I read a paper that said:
"Also, unless a company intends to be extremely restricted in its options for transporting their lithium batteries (ground transport as Class 9 Hazardous Goods), they will need to certify that their batteries have passed UN/DOT 38.3."
Is that correct?
I've also read that it is a "self-certify standard". Does this mean that if I were to perform the tests myself, I would have to send the results somewhere to register for the certificate?
Can anyone help me out or point me in the right direction?
