I can send you a copy of what the label looks like if you would like. Note that you must actual have your batteries tested to the US Department of Transportation (DOT) regulations / UN standards. Details are in the link above. Time line I recall as being Jan 1, 2005. Jim From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]]On Behalf Of Chris Maxwell Sent: Friday, December 17, 2004 11:37 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Lithium Batteries All, One of my colleagues has heard some information regarding Lithium batteries; and I'm trying to see if there is any truth to it. I've always known that Lithium batteries needed to be marked with various warnings that they contained Lithium. We also put certain warnings in the manual as required by EN 61010-1. However, what my colleague has heard is that we now need to start marking our product itself with Lithium battery warnings in the form of some kind of label. This would be in addition to the warnings on the batteries themselves. According to his information, the requirement kicks in if the total Lithium content is over 8 grams; and the requirement has to do with some transportation laws (United States DOT???) Can anybody shed some more light on the validity of this information? Thanks and happy end of December (that shouldn't offend any religions J) Chris Maxwell Design Engineer Nettest http://www.ieeecommunities.org/emc-pstc This message is from the IEEE Product Safety Engineering Society emc-pstc discussion list.
