I have recently been informed that to import, offer for transportation or supply Lithium Ion batteries of more than 100Wh, that are not certified to UN38.3 is a criminal offence. The maximum sentence available to the courts seems to be two years imprisonment and unlimited fines. I also understand that if a battery that has not been certified to UN38.3 is involved in an "incident" it is unlikely that any insurances would be valid.
I have done some research over the last few weeks and this information seems to be correct.
Is everyone aware of this? I don't think I am wrong but it would be good to hear any thoughts or points of view on the subject.
All the best
David
