Recently, SCU successfully obtained the UN3536 certification for lithium battery energy storage system container. Obtaining this certification means that SCU’s containerized lithium battery energy storage system meets strict international standards in all aspects such as design, manufacturing, and testing, and has excellent safety performance and reliability.
What is UN3536?
UN3536 refers to a dangerous goods number in the “UN Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods”, which is specifically used to identify lithium battery packs. This number is used to manage and regulate the safety requirements of lithium battery packs during transportation, aiming to ensure the safety and reliability of energy storage systems during transportation, storage and use.

UN3536 specifically refers to large lithium-ion battery packs for energy storage systems. Such battery packs are usually used for grid energy storage, backup power supplies, large renewable energy systems, etc. The purpose of lithium battery packs is to provide external power to cargo transport unit components. Lithium battery packs must be firmly placed on the internal structure of the transport component, such as lithium battery racks or lithium battery cabinets, to prevent dangers caused by short circuits, collisions, friction, and shaking of lithium batteries. Necessary protection systems to prevent overcharging and over-discharging of lithium batteries, as well as necessary protection systems, such as fire extinguishing systems, refrigeration systems, etc., must be installed. In addition, no other dangerous goods unrelated to energy storage systems are allowed to be placed in cargo transport components.

The transportation requirements of UN3536 are very strict to ensure that the battery pack will not catch fire, explode, or other hazards during transportation. Before transportation, lithium battery packs of the UN3536 category must pass the UN38.3 test and undergo a series of safety tests, such as short circuit tests, impact tests, vibration tests, etc., to ensure that they will not be dangerous under normal transportation conditions.
Energy Storage System
SCU’s containerized lithium battery energy storage system adopts a modular design, with the characteristics of high energy density and high efficiency. It can be widely used in various scenarios such as industrial and commercial energy storage, renewable energy grid connection, microgrid and off-grid power systems. The system not only supports peak shaving and valley filling, smoothing grid load but also provides reliable backup power when power is scarce or outage, significantly improving energy utilization efficiency and reducing corporate electricity costs.
The UN3536 certification is not only a high recognition of SCU’s technical strength but also an affirmation of its unremitting efforts in product safety and quality control. SCU always adheres to customer demand and is committed to providing safe, efficient, and reliable energy storage solutions. Through continuous innovation and technological upgrading, SCU’s energy storage products have been widely used in many countries and regions around the world, winning high trust and praise from customers.
In the future, SCU will continue to strengthen technology research and development, optimize product performance, improve service levels, and contribute more wisdom and strength to global energy transformation and sustainable development. We look forward to working with more partners to jointly promote the advancement of energy storage technology and realize the beautiful vision of green energy.
