4. First-aid measures
Chemical contents are sealed in metal can. Therefore, risk of exposure never occurs unless battery ismechanically or electrically abused. First aid shown below may need in such abnormal case only.
Released contents from battery may cause skin irritation and/orSkin contact :inflammation occasionally.
If released content from battery is attached on eyes, irritation may
Eyes contact :occur. Immediately rinse with plenty of water for several minutes(remove contact lenses if possible), get medical assistance.
In case of swallowing battery, immediately refer for medical
Swallowing :attention.

5. Fire-fighting measures
Fire extinguishing agent:

Water and all kind of extinguishers are available.

Extinguishing method:

Because packaging material of battery is paper, use water extinguisher, CO2
extinguisher or powder extinguisher as normal extinguisher.
Since vapor, generated from burning batteries may make eyes, nose andthroat irritates, be sure to extinguish the fire on the windward side. Wear therespiratory protection equipment in some cases.

Special equipment for the protection of firefighters
Hand protection:
A pair of flame-proof groves
Eye protection:
Face mask
Protective wear of skin and/or body: Protective clothing

6. Accidental release measures
Chemical contents are sealed in metal can. However, if the battery is mechanically or electrically abused,
contents may leak out. In such case, take action as showing below.
Personal precautions: Attaching of electrolyte to skin does not cause serious health hazard.
Be sure washing out of electrolyte quickly.
Environmental precautions: Clean up it quickly. Specific environmental precaution is notnecessary.
Method and materials for containment and methods and materials for cleaning up:
Not applicable. Clean up and dispose of it according to section 13
Prevention of secondary hazards : No need.

7. Handling and storing

8.

Transportation and freighthandling:(1) Prevent wetting of packing by rain or dew condensation.
(2) Do not place packing near source of heat.
(3) Do not drop packing from more than 1m height and do not press
packing allowing deform it.

Handling :(1) Do not charge, short-circuit, disassemble, deform or disposed ofin fire.
(2) Do not pile up or mingle batteries with each other.
(3) Do not place battery on metal case, metal plate or antistaticmaterial.
(4) In case of multi batteries application, replace all batteries to
new at once when replacement of used batteries.

Storage :(1) Be sure to store batteries in well-ventilated, dry and cool
conditions.
(2) Prevent wetting of packing by rain, snow, frost or dewcondensation.
(3) Do not store batteries near source of heat or nozzle of hot air.
(4) Do not store batteries in direct sunshine.
(5) Take care of wetting of packing caused by dew condensation
when packing is removed from cold to warm and humid
condition.
(6) Keep batteries out of reach of children.

Exposure controls and personal protection
There is no need of personal protective equipment on regular handling and storage, but lot ofelectrolyte is released by mechanical or electrical abuse, use the protections as shown below.
Hand protection:
Eye protection:

Synthetic rubber gloves
Goggles or glasses

Exposure of internal content of battery may occur by corrosion of metal case of battery after batteries aredisposed of in ground and kept for long time. But no available information about environmental hazard isreported after evaluation of long term landfill experiment. Our battery does not involve more than limited
contents of hazardous materials prohibited in EU Battery Directive (2013/56/EU).

13. Disposal considerations
Dispose of batteries in accordance with applicable federal, state and local regulations.
14. Transport Information
Caution for handling
Avoid rough handling of battery cartons. Batteries shall be kept in dry and cool conditions.
Do not place batteries in a place exposed to direct sunshine for a long time or splashed by rain water.
Do not mix unpacked batteries so as to avoid mechanical damage and/or short-circuit among eachother.
Compliance with special Provision of transportation
Because our battery is compliance with US DOT special provision 130 and IATA SP A123 as followings,
any transportation is available.
Manganese Dry Batteries are considered to be “dry cell” batteries and are unregulated for purposes oftransportation by the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT), International Civil Aviation
Administration (ICAO), International Air Transport Association (IATA) and the International MaritimeOrganization (IMO). The only requirement for shipping these batteries by DOT is Special Provision 130
which states: “Batteries, dry are not subject to the requirements of this subchapter only when they are
offered for transportation in a manner that prevents the dangerous evolution of heat (for example, by
the effective insulation of exposed terminals). The requirements for shipping of theses batteries by
ICAO and IATA is Special Provision A123 which states: “A battery or battery powered device having thepotential of dangerous evolutions of heat that is not prepared so as to prevent a short-circuit (e.g. in
the case of batteries, by the effective insulation of exposed terminals; or in the case of equipment, bydisconnection of the battery and protection of exposed terminals) is forbidden from transportation. Inaddition, in the case of air transportation of batteries which is conformed to this requirement, theinformation “Not restricted, as per Special Provision A123” shall be noted in certain column of“Substances” of air waybill.”
Our battery complies above requirements because of implementation of applicable packaging
preventing outer short-circuit by applying effective packing and obeying of waybill notation
requirement.
