Section 13-Disposal condition
The battery may be regulated by national or local regulation. Please follow the
instructions of proper regulation. As electric capacity is left in a discarded battery and it
comes into contact with other metals, it could lead to distortion, leakage, overheating, or
explosion, so make sure to cover the (+)and (-) terminals with friction tape or some other
insulator before disposal.
Section 14-Transportation Information
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 Pairdeer Carbon Zinc batteries has been designed to be
compliant with these regulatory concerns.
Carbon Zinc batteries (sometimes referred to as “Dry cell” batteries) are not listed as
dangerous goods under the ADR European Agreement Concerning the International
Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road, the IMDG International Maritime Dangerous
Goods Code, UN Dangerous Good Regulations, IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations,
ICAO Technical Instructions and the U.S. hazardous materials regulations (49 CFR).
These batteries are not subject to the dangerous goods regulations provided they meet
the requirements contained in the following special provisions.
