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.

In case of mistreatment (prolonged deep discharge, charge, reverse charge, external short circuit…) and in case of
fault, some electrolyte can leak from the cell. In these cases refer to the risk of potassium hydroxide solution or
sodium hydroxide solution (corrosive, pH > 14). Charging may cause rupture. The electrode materials are only
hazardous, if the materials are released by mechanical damaging of the cell or if
