MSDS Certification for Lithium Ion Polymer Battery
MSDS is shortened form of Material Safety Data Sheet. It is a report that chemical manufacturers and importers clarify the physical & chemical properties of chemicals (such as PH value, flash point, flammability, reactivity, etc.) and possible hazards to the user’s health (such as carcinogenesis, teratogenicity, etc.). MSDS is also called SDS (Safety Data Sheet) in European, but the United States, Canada, Australia and many countries in Asia use MSDS terminology. MSDS certificate for lipo battery is required for both air and sea transport.
MSDS includes the chemical product and company identification, composition/information on ingredients, haxards summarizing, first-aid measures, fire-fighting measures, accidental release measures, handling and storage, exposure controls/personal protection, physical and chemical properties, stability and reactivity, toxicological information, ecological information, disposal, transport information, regulatory information and other information, total 16 contents.
Section 1 – Chemical Product and Company Identification
Product Name: Lithium Ion Polymer Battery (LP653560)
Sample Code: LP653560
Trade Mark: N/A

Section 2 – Composition/Information on Ingredient
Indicate whether the chemical is a pure chemical or a mixture. For pure chemicals, the chemical name or trade name and general name shall be given. For mixtures, its concentration’s determined value or concentration range of the hazardous component should be given. Chemical Abstracts Index Registration Number (CAS Number) shall be given if including hazardous components, whether pure chemicals or mixtures.
Section 3 – Hazards Identification
Health Hazards (Acute and Chronic)
These chemicals are contained in a sealed can. Risk of exposure occurs only if the battery is mechanically or electrically abused. Contact of electrolyte and extruded lithium with skin and eyes should be avoided.
Section 4 – First Aid Measures
Eye | Skin | Inhalation | Ingestion
Section 5 – Fire Fighting Measures
Flash Point | Auto-Ignition Temperature | Extinguishing Media | Special Fire-Fighting Procedures | Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards | Hazardous Combustion Products
Section 6 – Accidental Release Measures
Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures:
If the battery material is released or spilled, remove personnel from area until fumes dissipate. Provide maximum ventilation to clear out hazardous gases. Wipe it up with a cloth, and dispose of it in a plastic bag and put into a steel can.
The preferred response is to leave the area and allow the battery to cool and vapors to dissipate. Provide maximum ventilation. Avoid skin and eye contact or inhalation of vapors. Remove spilled liquid with absorbent and incinerated. If leakage of the battery happens, liquid could be absorbed with sand, earth or other inert substance and contaminated area should be ventilated meantime.
Environment precautions:
Do not allow product to reach sewage system or any water source.
Inform respective authorities in case of seepage into water course or sewage system.
Do not allow to enter sewers surface or ground water.
Methods and material for containment and cleaning up:
If battery casing is dismantled, small amounts of electrolyte may leak. Collect all released material in a plastic lined container. Dispose off according to the local law and rules. Avoid leached substances to get into the earth, canalization or water.
Section 7 – Handling and Storage
Handling | Storing | Other Precautions
Section 8 – Exposure Controls, Personal Protection
Respiratory Protection
In case of battery venting, provide as much ventilation as possible. Avoid confined areas with venting cell cores. Respiratory Protection is not necessary under conditions of normal use.
Ventilation
Not necessary under conditions of normal use.
Protective Gloves
Not necessary under conditions of normal use.
Other Protective Clothing or Equipment
Not necessary under conditions of normal use.
Personal Protection is recommended for venting battery: Respiratory protection, Protective gloves, protective clothing and safety glass with side shields.
Section 9 – Physical and Chemical Properties
Nominal Voltage: 3.7V Rated Capacity: 1350mAh
Appearance characters: Silver, quadrate, odorless, solid battery.
Section 10 – Stability and Reactivity
Stability | Stable | Conditions to Avoid | Incompatible Materials | Hazardous Decomposition Products | Possibility of Hazardous Reaction
If leaked, forbidden to contact with strong oxidizers, mineral acids, strong alkalies, halogenated hydrocarbons.
Section 11 – Toxicological Information
Inhalation, skin contact and eye contact are possible when the battery is opened. Exposure to internal contents, the corrosive fumes will be very irritating to skin, eyes and mucous membranes. Overexposure can cause symptoms of non-fibrotic lung injury and membrane irritation.
Section 12 – Ecological Information
When promptly used or disposed the battery does not present environmental hazard. When disposed, keep away from water, rain and snow.
Section 13 – Disposal Considerations
APPROPRIATE METHOD OF DISPOSAL OF SUBSTANCE OR PREPARATION
If batteries are still fully charged or only partially discharged, they can be considered a reactive hazardous waste because of significant amount of not reaction or unconsumed lithium remaining in the spent battery. The battery must be neutralized through an approved secondary treatment facility prior to disposal as a hazardous waste. Recycling of battery can be done in authorized facility, through licensed waste carrier.
Section 14 – Transport Information
According to PACKING INSTRUCTION 965 ~ 970 of IATA DGR 51st Edition for transportation, and the special provision 188 of IMDG.
Separate battery when shipping to prevent short-circuiting. They should be packed in strong packaging for support during transport. Take in a cargo of them without falling, dropping, and breakage. Prevent collapse of cargo piles and wet by rain.
Transport Fashion: By air, by sea, by railway, by highway.
