In this interview, HPQ President and CEO Bernard Tourillon breaks down the significance of HPQ securing UN 38.3 certification for its ENDURA+ 18650 and 21700 lithium-ion battery cells.
The discussion focuses on why this certification is a critical commercial milestone, enabling HPQ to legally ship batteries by air, sea, and land, and marking the Company’s transition from & into a fully compliant industrial phase.
Key takeaways from the interview include:
✅ Independent testing confirmed HPQ ENDURA+ cells meet international safety and transport standards, with no explosions, fires, or leakage across all eight UN 38.3 tests
✅ Certification clears the regulatory path for commercial shipments to customers and industrial partners in North America and international markets
✅ HPQ’s production strategy leverages existing third-party manufacturing lines, supporting scalability without gigafactory-level capital intensity
By watching the interview, you’ll gain insight into:
- Why UN 38.3 certification is a prerequisite for revenue-generating battery shipments
- How ENDURA+ fits into HPQ’s broader silicon-based battery strategy
- What comes next, including UL1642 certification for U.S. market access and scaling toward 1.5 million cells per year
