11b. AIS Hazard Communication Approaches (consulted in developing this document):
GHS SDS requirements and classification criteria do not apply to articles or products (such
as batteries) that have a fixed shape, which are not intended to release a chemical. The
article exemption is found in Section 1.3.2.1.1 of the GHS and reads: The GHS applies to
pure substances and their dilute solutions and to mixtures. "Articles" as defined by
the Hazard Communication Standard (29 CFR 1900.1200) of the OSHA of the USA, or by
similar definition, are outside the scope of the system."
JAMP is a Japanese Industry Association who developed the concept of an Article
Information Sheet as a supply chain tool to share and communicate chemical information
in articles. The AIS authoring process is based on “declarable” substances to meet global
regulatory requirements as well as substances to be reported by GADSL, JIG, etc.

11. Other Information
EU REACH SVHC Communication SVHC Substance Name: 1,2-dimethoxyethane (EGDME)
Use: Incorporated in a lithium battery as electrolyte solvent
EINEC Number: 203-794-9
CAS Number: 110-71-4
Concentration: The battery contains EGDME –SVHC in a concentration ranging from 1.0
to 5.0% by weight. Because the battery is sealed, 100% of the EGDME-SVHC is contained
in the battery.
Safe Handling: Do not open the battery or disassemble it. Do not expose to fire or high
temperatures (>60°C). At end of life, the battery should be taken back to the nearest
collection point established by a National Collection Scheme used for batteries.
