For marks - maybe the scoped product safety standard/directive - just a wild guess. For speculation - do not use aluminum foil to prevent space-alien mind control, use copper foil and a faraday cage.

From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Christine Rodham Sent: 04 May 2010 09:45 To: [email protected] Subject: RE: NiMH ( nickel-metal hydride cell) Battery Safety Group, With all the recent issues regarding battery explosions, overheating, etc., are there any recent changes with battery safety for ITE products? In particular, we are shipping a NiMH battery in a Listed OEM ITE product. The listing entity is not quite our favorite one and has made significant mistakes on previous product certifications. We are curious about: * Requirements for shipping this type of battery worldwide * Disclosure of the battery and type of battery either on the product and/or on the product packaging * Shipping or storing the battery at high altitudes ( air freight ) or at high temperatures * The need for the use of a power on symbol that indicates battery power is on when the main AC power is disconnected. * Additional / new rules - regulations due to the recent laptop battery issues. Any info ( fact or speculation ) is appreciated ! Cheers, Christine - This message is from the IEEE Product Safety Engineering Society emc-pstc discussion list.
