Material Safety Data Sheet
11. Toxicological information
Toxicity information is available on the battery ingredients noted in Section 2, but in general, N.A. to intact batteries.
Chronic health effects:N.A.
12. Ecological information
Not available
13. Disposable considerations
Product:
Dispose in accordance with appropriate regulations. If in doubt, contact your local government office concerned for information.
Do not incinerate, since batteries may explode at excessive temperatures.
14. Transport Information
Road (ADR/RID):
Not regulated
Air (ICAO/IATA):
IATA DGR(57th): Special Provision A123: “Examples of such batteries are: alkali-manganese, zinc-carbon,, nickel-metal
hydride and nickel-cadmium batteries. Any electrical battery ... having the potential of a dangerous evolution of heat must be
prepared for transport as to prevent (a) a short-circuit (e.g. in the case of batteries, by the effective insulation of exposed
terminals...) is forbidden from transport; and (b) accidental activation. The words “Not Restricted” and the Special Provision
number must be included in the description of the substance on the Air Waybill as required by 8.2.6, when an Air Waybill is
issued.”
Sea (IMDG):
IMDG CODE: Special Provision 304 which says: “Batteries, dry, containing corrosive electrolyte which will not flow out of the
battery if the battery case is cracked are not subject to the provisions of this Code provided the batteries are securely packed
and protected against short-circuits. Examples of such batteries are: alkaline-manganese, zinc-carbon, nickel metal hydride
and nickel-cadmium batteries”
These batteries are not regulated by international agencies as hazardous materials or dangerous goods when shipped. A
shipping name of “Alkaline Batteries – Non-hazardous” may be used on all domestic and international bills of lading.
In general, all batteries in all forms of transportation (ground, air, or ocean) must be packaged in a safe and responsible
manner. Regulatory concerns from all agencies for safe packaging require that batteries be packaged in a manner that
prevents short circuits and be contained in “strong outer packaging” that prevents spillage of contents. All original packaging
for our alkaline batteries has been designed to be compliant with these regulatory concerns.
