For products containing lithium batteries, the detection requirements are paragraph 38.3 of Part 3 of the United Nations Manual of tests and standards for the transport of dangerous goods, i.e. UN38.3

Battery UN38.3 importance of certification

As lithium batteries are widely used in mobile communication equipment, electronic digital products, power products, medical and security fields, the transportation monitoring of lithium batteries is becoming more and more strict. Since lithium-containing batteries such as mobile phones and laptops are in constant danger during transportation, in order to effectively ensure the safety of battery air transportation and avoid unsafe events, during the collection and transportation of each type of battery at each airport, the battery needs to prove that it meets paragraph 38.3 (i.e. UN38.3) of Part 3 of the United Nations Manual of tests and standards for the transport of dangerous goods, and there is no UN38. 3.
