Echion – XNO® demonstrator cells pass UN38.3 safety test benchmarks.
Our XNO® demonstrator cells have achieved United Nations (UN) 38.3 certification. The cells which have been certified are 1Ah pouch cells optimised for high power, and help showcase XNO®’s fast-charging and discharging capabilities. Being certified to UN38.3 allows for the easier transportation of these demonstrator cells to customers wishing to evaluate Echion’s XNO® technology.
Used by regulators and authorities around the world, the UN 38.3 manual of tests aim to simulate real-world transportation conditions such as high temperatures, vibration and shock, and altitude and low pressure environments. A very positive result for Echion’s 1Ah XNO® demonstrator cells was seen in the external short circuit test, where cell temperatures did not excel 90°C, significantly lower than the 170°C pass limit for this test.
