Legal Notice
EU: Lithium-ion batteries are neither "substances" nor "preparations" within the meaning of
Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006 of the European Parliament (REACH). Instead, they are to be
regarded as “articles”. The intentional release of substances during use is not intended. There is
therefore no obligation to provide a safety data sheet in accordance with Regulation (EC) No.
1907/2006, Article 31.
USA: The preparation of safety data sheets (SDS) is a sub-requirement of the hazard
Communication Standard 29 CFR, Section 1910.1200 of the Occupational Safety and Health
Administration (OSHA). This standard does not apply to "Articles". OSHA defines "article" as a
manufactured product that is not liquid or granular;
(i) which is given a specific form or shape during manufacture;
(ii) which has one or more functions which are wholly or partly dependent on its
form or shape in end use; and
(iii) releasing no more than very small amounts under normal conditions of use,
e.g. traces of hazardous chemicals, and which does not pose any objective hazard or health risk to
employees.
As all of our battery packs are defined as "Articles" these are exempt from the requirements of the
Hazard Communication Standard.
