10. Stability and Reactivity
Thermal decomposition: Batteries may burst and release hazardous decomposition products when
exposed to fire.
Substances to avoid: Strong oxidation agents.
Hazardous reactions: Contents incompatible with strong oxidizing agents.
Hazardous decomposition products: Thermal degradation may produce hazardous fumes of zinc and
manganese; hydrogen gas; caustic vapors of potassium hydroxide
and other toxic by-products.
11. Toxicological information
Toxicity information is available on the battery ingredients noted in Section 2, but in general, N.A. to intact
batteries.
Chronic health effects: N.A.
12. Ecological information
Not available
13. Disposable considerations
Product: Dispose in accordance with appropriate regulations. If in doubt, contact your local government
office concerned for information. Do not incinerate, since batteries may explode at excessive
temperatures.
14. Transport Information
Road (ADR/RID): Not regulated
Air (ICAO/IATA):
IATA DGR57
th
: Special Provision A123: “Examples of such batteries are: alkali-manganese, zinc-carbon,,
nickel-metal hydride and nickel-cadmium batteries. Any electrical battery ... having the potential of a
dangerous evolution of heat must be prepared for transport as to prevent (a) a short-circuit (e.g. in the case
of batteries, by the effective insulation of exposed terminals...) is forbidden from transport; and (b)
accidental activation. The words “Not Restricted” and the Special Provision number must be included in the
description of the substance on the Air Waybill as required by 8.2.6, when an Air Waybill is issued.”
Sea (IMDG):
IMDG CODE:Special Provision 304 which says: “Batteries, dry, containing corrosive electrolyte which will
not flow out of the battery if the battery case is cracked are not subject to the provisions of this Code
provided the batteries are securely packed and protected against short-circuits. Examples of such batteries
are: alkaline-manganese, zinc-carbon, nickel metal hydride and nickel-cadmium batteries”
These batteries are not regulated by international agencies as hazardous materials or dangerous goods
when shipped. A shipping name of “Alkaline Batteries Non-hazardous” may be used on all domestic and
international bills of lading.
In general, all batteries in all forms of transportation (ground, air, or ocean) must be packaged in a safe and
responsible manner. Regulatory concerns from all agencies for safe packaging require that batteries be
packaged in a manner that prevents short circuits and be contained in “strong outer packaging” that
prevents spillage of contents. All original packaging for Pairdeer alkaline batteries has been designed to be
compliant with these regulatory concerns.
