Consumer Relations:
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.

Remove to fresh air.
A damaged battery will release concentrated and caustic potassium hydroxide.
Do not induce vomiting. Seek medical attention immediately. For information on treatment,
call the National Battery Ingestion Hotline (telephone numbers for the USA and Canada are
provided below).
Flush with water for at least 15 minutes. Seek medical care if irritation persists.

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.
6. Fire Hazard & Firefighting
Battery Safety Standards & Testing
Duracell batteries meet the requirements of ANSI C18. 1M Part 2 and/or 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
Precautionary Statements
CAUTION: Batteries may explode or leak, and cause burn injury, if recharged, disposed of in
fire, mixed with a different battery type, inserted backwards or disassembled. Replace all
used batteries at the same time. Do not carry batteries loose in your pocket or purse. Do
not remove the battery label. Keep small batteries (i.e., AAA) away from children. If
swallowed, consult a physician at once.
