SECTION VII - Precautions for Safe Handling & Use

material is released or spilled:

Avoid contact with acid materials. Use soda ash or lime to neutralize. Flush with water.

Waste Disposal Method:

Dispose of in accordance with Federal, State, & Local Regulations. Do not incinerate. Batteries should be shipped to a reclamation facility for recovery of the metal and plastic components as the proper method of waste management. Contact distributor for appropriate product return procedures.

SECTION VIII - Control Measures - Not Applicable

SECTION IX - Transportation

Packaging changes performed at other locations may require additional labeling, since in addition to the battery itself containing the required marking, the outer packaging of the battery must also contain the required marking: "NONSPILLABLE" OR "NONSPILLABLE BATTERY". Because the batteries are classified as "Nonspillable" and meet the three conditions above, [ from § 173.159(d)] they do not have an assigned UN number nor do they require additional DOT hazard labeling.

The regulation change effective September, 1995, was to clarify and distinguish to shippers and transporters, all batteries that have been tested and determined to be in compliance with the DOT Hazardous Material Regulations, the International Civil Aeronautics Organization (ICAO), and the International Air Transport Association (IATA) Packing Instruction 806 and Special Provision A67, and therefore excepted from all other requirements of the regulations and classified as a "nonspillable battery".
