Legal Remark (U.S.A.)
Safety Data Sheets 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". According to OSHA, Article means 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 (as determined under paragraph (d) of this section), 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 “mixtures” 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 “safety data sheet according to Regulation (EC) 1907/2006, Article 31”.
General remark
This Safety Data Sheet 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.
