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, IEC 62474, and ANSI C18.4M.

None
Exposure to contents inside the sealed battery will not occur unless the battery leaks, is
exposed to high temperatures, or is mechanically abused.
Electro-technical System
Small Cell or Battery
(ANSI C18.1M Part 2; IEC 60086-5)
Sizes: AAA and Specialty Cells fit inside a specially designed test cylinder 2.25 inches
(57.1mm) long by 1.25 inches (31.70 mm) wide.
Required for Small Cell or Battery (Sizes: AAA and Specialty Cells): Keep away from
children. If swallowed, consult a physician immediately.
Battery Safety Standards & Testing
Duracell batteries meet the requirements of ANSI C18. 1M Part 2 and IEC 60086-5. These
standards specify tests and requirements for alkaline batteries to ensure safe operation
under normal use and reasonably foreseeable misuse. The test regimes assess three
conditions of safety. These are:
1-Intended use simulation: Partial use, vibration, thermal shock, and mechanical shock
2-Reasonably foreseeable misuse: Incorrect installation, external short-circuit, free fall
(user-drop), over-discharge, and crush
3-Design consideration: Thermal abuse, mold stress
