SECTION 16: OTHER INFORMATION
Legal Remark (U.S.A.)
Safety Data Sheets are a sub-requirement of the Occupational Safety and Health administration
(OSHA) Hazard Communication Standard, 29 CFR Subpart 1910.1200. This Hazard Communication
Standard does not apply to various subcategories including anything defined by OSHA as an "article".
According to OSHA, Article means a manufactured item other than a fluid or particle: (i) which is
formed to a specific shape or design during manufacture; (ii) which has end use function(s) dependent
in whole or in part upon its shape or design during end use; and (iii) which under normal conditions of
use does not release more than very small quantities, e.g., minute or trace amounts of a hazardous
chemical (as determined under paragraph (d) of this section), and does not pose a physical hazard or
health risk to employees.
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 1907/2006 EC.
Instead they have to be regarded 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”.
