▍The development history of air transportation appraisal in China

In 2003, Lithium battery products were officially listed into the Transport of Dangerous Goods Manual of Tests and Criteria Chapter 38 Section III.

In 2006 the Flight Standards Department of General Administration of Civil Aviation of China (CAAC) held the first training conference about lithium battery air transportation for China Aviation System in Beijing. In the same year, MCM became the first batch of members of the technical expert group of the Civil Aviation Administration of China on the implementation of lithium battery transportation rules (including UN38.3).

In 2007, CAAC began to supervise and approve the work of accreditation bodies for dangerous goods transportation including lithium batteries in China.

In 2008, MCM became the unique UN38.3 branch of Shanghai Research Institute of Chemical Industry (SRICI) Testing Center in China.

In 2009, the accreditation work towards UN38.3 testing and accreditation organization is no longer directly led by CAAC but changing to be responsible by airlines.

In 2012, the Dangerous Goods Identification Center of CAAC Second Research Institute was established, which specializes in technical identification and advisory service for air transportation of dangerous goods.

In 2014, MCM is accredited by Air China Cargo Co., Ltd.

In 2016, MCM carried out strategic cooperation with the Dangerous Goods Identification Center of CAAC Second Research Institute, providing lithium battery UN38.3 testing and certification services for global clients.In 2017,  CAAC Second Research Institute and DGM cooperated MCM to continue to promote the standardization and rationalization of UN38.3 testing and accreditation of dangerous goods transportation, and to make social contribution by promoting the smooth circulation of battery products in global trade.
