Safe storage and handling

Standard: PGS 37-2

achieved

Our team stores and assembles every pack by fixed safety rules.

  • Lithium batteries stored in accordance with PGS 37-2
  • Protective equipment matched to thermal, electrical and mechanical risks
  • Safety information and user instructions with every product

Transport safety

file-certificate UN 38.3

achieved

UN 38.3 is the UN test series a lithium battery pack has to pass before it can be transported. Our series production packs are tested to it.

  • Required for road transport under ADR
  • Required for air freight under IATA DGR
  • Test summaries included in our compliance documentation

Transport of dangerous goods

Standard: ADR 2025 and IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations

achieved

Our series production battery packs have been tested according to UN 38.3 and are transported in accordance with ADR and IATA DGR. The same rules apply at the end of a pack’s life: we have retired batteries transported safely to specialized recycling partners, who process them.

Air transport of dangerous goods

Recognition: ILT A-recognition

achieved

On behalf of the Dutch Minister of Infrastructure and Water Management, ILT recognizes us as a shipper of dangerous goods by air. This allows us to offer our own dangerous goods for air transport, and only staff with a valid certificate carry out this work.

Safety of industrial lithium batteries

Standard: NEN-EN-IEC 62619

In progress

We’re taking NEN-EN-IEC 62619 into account in our pack designs. This standard sets safety requirements for industrial lithium batteries. Which standards apply differs per pack.

EMC: immunity to electrostatic discharge

Standard:: NEN-EN-IEC 61000-4-2

In progress

We’re taking NEN-EN-IEC 61000-4-2 into account in our pack designs. This standard covers how electronic equipment holds up against electrostatic discharge. Which standards apply differs per pack.

Regulation concerning batteries and waste batteries

Regulation: Regulation (EU) 2023/1542

In progress

The EU Battery Regulation already applies, and its obligations phase in over the coming years. We’re implementing them step by step, following that timeline.
