Because all of our batteries are defined as "articles", they are exempted from the requirements of the Hazard
Communication Standard.
Legal remark (EU)
These batteries are no "substances" or "mixtures" according to Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006EC. Instead
they have to be rarded as "articles", no substances are intended to be released during handling. Therefore there
is no obligation to supply a "safety data sheet according to Regulation (EC)1907/2006, Article 31"
General remark
This safety data sheet is provided as a service to our customers. The details presented are in accordance
with our present knowledge and experiences. They are no contractual assurances of product attributes.
Section 2
Hazards Identification
2.1 Classification of the substance or mixture
Classification according to UN-GHS
Batteries are considered as articles are as such exempted from the UN-GHS classification requirements.
The classification based on the hazardous substances contained in the product (electrode materials and liquid
electrolyte contained in the batteries) is provided below for information purposes only.
2.2 GHS Label elements, including precautionary statements
The UN GHS labeling information is not provided in this section as batteries are articles and therefore are
exempted from the UN GHS labeling requirements. Other labeling requirements apply for batteries according
to EU Directive 2006/66/EC.
Nevertheless the following warning must be observed: Keep out of the reach of children!
2.3 Other hazards which do not result in classification
The chemicals mentioned in section 3 are contained in a sealed can. Risk of exposure occurs only if the battery
is mechanically or electrically abused or if it is ingested ( see safety precautions in section 7). Swallowing of a
battery can lead to chemical burns, perforation of soft tissues and death.
Severe burns can occur within 2 hours of ingestion. In case of ingestion, seek medical attention immediately.
