Re: [PSES] [Commercial] [PSES] Labeling - battery operated products

2017-09-08 Thread Scott Douglas 
Not every product with lithium batteries requires these labels. Some 
battery types are exempt. For example, a product with one or two CR2032 
type button cells would be exempt regardless whether the batteries are 
installed in the product or packed (properly) separately in the product 
package. It all depends on the battery type, size, content, and quantity.


Some airlines are refusing any product with a lithium battery, 
regardless if exempt or not.  So best is talk with your shipping carrier 
and have them guide you. Tell them what you need to ship, how many, how 
packed, what method (air, ground, water). They can be very helpful.


And yes, these labels are aimed directly at the carriers, mostly air, 
but also ground so on the transportation packaging  as mentioned in 
another post.

At least for CE marking purposes, there are no requirements for any 
battery related information on the product label.


But then I came into this web-site / document:

Should a product (with batteries incorporated) have such battery 
information on its label or is this IATA requirements only for 
shipment packages?


Any IATA specialists here?

Sorry Amund,

I sent my email response a bit early. You asked specifically about the product 
label. The answer is no. However, using the ISO 7000-0434B (exclamation point 
in a triangle) symbol on your product label with reference about the use of li 
on batteries in your product may be advantageous.
