Certification Progress Update — April 2026

IP68 for water and debris exposure & UN38.3 for safe global transport achieved - IEC 62619 nearing completion

Dragon Q Energy has officially advanced its certification program, marking a key step in demonstrating that our technology meets the world’s most rigorous safety and performance standards. Certification is not just a regulatory hurdle—it’s what transforms innovation into a deployable, trusted product for commercial, industrial, and defense applications.

Our battery systems have now successfully achieved UN 38.3 certification, validating safe global transport across air, sea, and ground, and IP68 certification, confirming full protection against dust ingress and sustained exposure to water. Together, these milestones validate two critical phases of deployment: getting systems to the field safely, and ensuring they remain operational in harsh and unpredictable environments.

Independent Testing and Validation

Testing has been conducted with TÜV Rheinland, a globally recognized provider of testing, inspection, and certification services. With deep expertise in advanced electronics and energy systems, TÜV provides independent, third-party validation against internationally recognized standards—ensuring transparency, credibility, and confidence in system safety and performance.

Core Certifications: Achieved and in Progress

UN 38.3 — Transportation Safety (Achieved)

UN 38.3 certification is mandatory for all lithium-ion batteries shipped globally. It subjects systems to mechanical, electrical, and environmental stress tests simulating extreme transport conditions, including vibration, pressure variation, shock, and short-circuit events. Passing UN 38.3 confirms that Dragon Q Energy’s batteries can be safely and legally deployed worldwide.

IP68 — Environmental Protection (Achieved)

IP68 certification validates that the system is fully sealed against dust and capable of withstanding sustained water exposure without impact to performance. This is a critical benchmark for real-world deployment, ensuring reliability in environments where exposure to moisture, flooding, and particulate ingress is unavoidable.

IEC 62619 — International Industrial Standard (Final Stages)

IEC 62619 governs lithium-ion batteries used in industrial applications, with a focus on preventing fire, explosion, and thermal runaway. Certification evaluates system behavior under demanding operating conditions and is a key requirement for global commercial and industrial deployment.

Next Phase: System-Level Validation

Dragon Q Energy’s certification roadmap continues with a focus on full system-level safety and performance:

• UL 9540 — Comprehensive safety standard for complete energy storage systems

• UL 9540A — Thermal runaway characterization, informing fire-code compliance and system placement

• GB 38031-2025 — China’s next-generation battery safety standard, widely regarded as the most stringent globally

  
  

This progression moves beyond component-level validation toward full-system verification, including containment, control, and failure behavior under extreme conditions.

Certification as a Path to Deployment

For Dragon Q Energy, certification is a structured progression—from transport readiness, to environmental resilience, to operational and system-level validation. Each step reduces risk, builds trust, and expands where and how our systems can be deployed.

With UN 38.3 and IP68 now achieved, and IEC certification nearing completion, the foundation is in place. What follows is continued validation at the system level, supporting the deployment of robust, high-performance energy systems in the environments where they are needed most.
