MSDS

18.Other information:
MSDS:
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 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
dependent in whole or in part upon its shape or design during end use; and (iii) which under normal conditions of use of does
not release more than very small quantities, e.g. minute or trance 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 “article”, they are exempt from the requirements of the hazard
communication standard; hence a MSDS is not required.
Note:
Since the materials in this battery are sealed in the can, the potential for exposure to the components of battery is
negligible, when the battery is used as directed however, technical or electrical abuse of the battery may result in
the release of battery contents.
19. Storage and stock rotation:
⑴For normal storage, the temperature should be between +10℃ and +25℃ and never exceed +30℃. Extremes of
humidity (over 95% and below 40% relative humidity) for sustained periods should be avoided since they are detrimental to
both batteries and packing. Therefore, batteries should not be stored next to radiators or boilers, in boxcars or direct
sunlight, or next to other sources of heat.
⑵Although the storage life of batteries at room temperature is good, storage is improved at lower temperature provided that
special precautions are taken. The batteries should be enclosed in special protective packing (such as sealed plastic bags or
variants), which should be retained to protect them from condensation during the time they are warming to ambient
temperature. Accelerated warming is harmful.
⑶The height to which batteries may be stacked is clearly dependent on the strength of the pack. As a general guide, this
height should not exceed 1.5m for cardboard packs or 3.0m for wooden cases.
⑷The above recommendations are equally valid for storage conditions during prolonged transit. Thus, batteries should be
stored away from ship engines and not left for long periods in unventilated metal box cars (containers) during summer.
⑸Batteries should be dispatched promptly after manufacture and in rotation to distribution centers and on to the user. In
order to stock rotation (first-in, first-out) can be practiced, storage areas and displays should be properly and packs should
be adequately marked.
