SDS
Safety Data Sheets (SDS) 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 exempt from the requirements of the Hazard Communication Standard,
hence a SDS is not required.
