SAFETY DATA SH EET

US
Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) 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". OSHA has defined "article" as 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, 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.
