Power stations sit at the intersection of three rule sets: product safety, battery transport and market access. Below is every document we work with, what it actually covers, and the ones that have to be arranged for your specific model.
| UL 2743 | US — the safety standard for portable power supplies. Test reports are held across the range and copies are supplied with your quotation. |
|---|---|
| UN38.3 | Transport — the eight tests in section 38.3 of the UN Manual of Tests and Criteria. Every airline, courier and freight forwarder requires the test summary before accepting lithium batteries, and it is the first document your forwarder will ask for. |
| MSDS / SDS | Transport — the 16-section safety data sheet covering the cells and the assembled pack. |
| IEC 62619 | Safety of industrial and energy-storage lithium cells and batteries. Held for the range — requested by EU and Australian buyers for the larger stations. |
| CE | EU — Low Voltage Directive 2014/35/EU and EMC 2014/30/EU, with the Radio Equipment Directive 2014/53/EU where the unit includes wireless functions. |
| RoHS | EU — restricted substances under Directive 2011/65/EU, with a test report. |
| REACH | EU — statement that no SVHC is present above 0.1% w/w in the article. |
| FCC | US — Part 15B for the electronics; an FCC ID applies to models that transmit. |
| PSE | Japan — applies to the mains adapters and chargers used with the station rather than to the battery itself. Held across the adapter range. |
| KC | Korea — safety certification built on IEC 62133-2 plus KC EMC. Held for the range. |
| UKCA | UK — marking for electrical safety and EMC. Held for the range. |
| ISO 9001 | The manufacturing partner’s quality management system certification, covering the plant that produces the range. |
The full mainstream set above is held for the range. Because a document can apply to one model and not another — and because market rules differ — we confirm the exact list for your models and destination when you request a quote, and supply the copies with the quotation.
Test reports and certificates are issued to the production entity that manufactures the goods, and they cover the models supplied. Copies travel with every quotation, and we confirm the exact certificate holder and scope for your market before you commit to an order. If your customs broker or marketplace requires the holder name to match your purchase invoice, tell us at quotation stage — it is much easier to solve before production than after it.
Required for any lithium battery shipment — sea or air. Issued per cell and per pack type, not per brand.
The 16-section safety data sheet the carrier and the port authority file for a class 9 booking.
Confirms the UN number, packing instruction and the state-of-charge limit that the shipment is declared under.
