Article Information Sheet (AIS) This Article Information Sheet (AIS) provides relevant battery information to retailers, consumers, OEMs and others users requesting a GHS-compliant SDS. Articles, such as batteries, are exempt from GHS SDS classification criteria. The GHS criteria is not designed or intended to be used to classify the physical, health and environmental hazards of an article. Branded consumer batteries are defined as electro-technical devices. The design, safety, manufacture, and qualification of branded consumer batteries follow ANSI and IEC battery standards. This document is based on principles set forth in the following hazard communication approaches: ANSI Z-400.1, GHS, JAMP AIS, and IEC 62474. 1.

Health & Safety Ingestion/Small Parts Warning Required for sizes of button cell batteries: Keep away from children. If swallowed, consult a physician immediately. Normal Conditions of Use Exposure to contents inside the sealed battery will not occur unless the battery leaks, is exposed to high temperatures, or is mechanically abused. Note to Physician A damaged battery will release concentrated and caustic potassium hydroxide. First Aid - If swallowed Do not induce vomiting. Seek medical attention immediately. USA CALLS ONLY - CALL 24- HOUR NATIONAL BATTERY INGESTION HOTLINE: (202) 625-3333 - COLLECT. First Aid - Eye Contact Flush with water for at least 15 minutes. Seek medical care if irritation persists. First Aid - Skin Contact Remove contaminated clothing. Wash skin with soap and water. Seek medical care if irritation persists. First Aid - Inhalation Remove to fresh air. Precautionary Statements CAUTION: Keep batteries away from children. If swallowed, consult a physician at once. Batteries can explode or leak if heated, disassembled, shorted, recharged, exposed to fire or high temparure or inserted incorrectly. Do not carry batteries loose in your pocket or purse. 6. Fire Hazard & Firefighting Fire Hazard Batteries may rupture or leak if involved in a fire. Extinguishing Media Use any extinguishing media appropriate for the surrounding area. Fires Involving Large Quantities of Large quantities of batteries involved in a fire will rupture and release caustic potassium Batteries hydroxide. Firefighters should wear self-contained breathing apparatus and protective clothing. 7. Handling & Storage Handling Precautions Avoid mechanical and electrical abuse. Do not short circuit or install incorrectly. Batteries may rupture or vent if disassembled, crushed, recharged or exposed to high temperatures. Install batteries in accordance with equipment instructions. Storage Precautions Store batteries in a dry place at normal room temperature. Refrigeration does not make them last longer. Spills of Large Quantities of Loose Notify spill personnel of large spills. Irritating and flammable vapors may be released from Batteries (unpackaged) leaking or ruptured batteries. Spread batteries apart to stop shorting. Eliminate all ignition sources. Evacuate area and allow vapors to dissipate. Clean-up personnel should wear appropriate PPE to avoid eye and skin contact and inhalation of vapors or fumes. Increase ventilation. Carefully collect batteries and place in appropriate container for disposal. Remove any spilled liquid with absorbent material and contain for disposal. 8. Disposal Considerations (GHS Section 13) Collection & Proper Disposal Dispose of used (or excess) batteries in compliance with federal, state/provincial and local regulations. Do not accumulate large quantities of used batteries for disposal as accumulations could cause batteries to short-circuit. Do not incinerate. In countries, such as Canada and the EU, where there are regulations for the collection and recycling of batteries, consumers should dispose of their used batteries into the collection network at municipal depots and retailers. They should not dispose of batteries with household trash. USA EPA RCRA (40 CFR 261) Classified as non-hazardous waste (not ignitable, corrosive, reactive or toxic). Federal Universal Waste Regulations (40 CFR 273) do not apply. State requirements may be more stringent than Federal. AIS-ZA 2 of 4
