Legal Remark (U.S.A.)

Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) 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". OSHA has defined "article" as

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, 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 “preparations” 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 MSDS according to Regulation (EC) 1907/2006, Article 31.

General remark

This “Safety Information” 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.

2. Hazards identification

The battery is sealed hermetically. Thus, the ingredients have no hazard potential, except the battery is violated or

dismantled.

If in case of mistreatment the ingredients are released, a spontaneously flammable gas mixture may be released

under certain circumstances (measures according to chapter 4 to 6).

Attention: If batteries are treated wrong the danger of burns or bursts occurs. Batteries must not be heated above

100°C or incinerated. The battery contents must not get in contact with water. If the negative electrode gets in contact

with water or humidity hydrogen gas is formed, which may inflame spontaneously.

Material Safety Data Sheet MSDS 2.001.014 Special hazard: Cells may explode and release metal parts. At contact of electrolyte with water traces of hydrofluoric acid may be formed. In this case avoid contact and take care for good ventilation. At contact of charged anode material with water extremely flammable hydrogen gas is generated. Attention: 7.

Material Safety Data Sheet MSDS 2.001.014 Importers and users outside EU should consider the local law and rules. In order to avoid short circuit and heating, used lithium ion batteries should never be stored or transported in bulk. Proper measures against short circuit are: • • • 14. Storage of batteries in original packaging Coverage of the terminals Embedding in dry sand Transport information General considerations Lithium ion batteries manufactured by VARTA Microbattery are tested according to 38.
