About this file
This document is a Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for GP Cylindrical Alkaline Batteries, specifically covering models 13A(LR20), 14A(LR14), 15A(LR6), 24A(LR03), 25A(LR8D425), and 910A(LR1). The MSDS, issued by GPI International Ltd. in Hong Kong with revision 29 dated January 1, 2022, provides detailed composition information showing the batteries contain primarily manganese dioxide (34-43%), zinc (13-17%), water (6-12%), and potassium hydroxide (1-7%), along with other materials like steel, brass, and graphite in varying percentages.
The document outlines safety procedures, handling requirements, and transportation regulations for these batteries. Key safety information includes first aid measures for electrolyte exposure, fire-fighting procedures using carbon dioxide/dry chemical/foam extinguishers, and proper storage requirements limiting temperature to 60°C maximum. The batteries are not classified as dangerous goods under various transportation regulations (ADR, IMDG, UN, US DOT, IATA, ICAO) but must be packaged to prevent short circuits. The MSDS includes specific provisions for transportation, including IATA special provision A123 and US DOT 49 CFR 172.102 Provision 130.

Section 4 – First Aid Measures First Aid Procedures
If electrolyte leakage occurs and makes contact with skin, wash with plenty of water immediately.
If electrolyte comes into contact with eyes, wash with copious amounts of water for fifteen (15) minutes and contact a physician.
If electrolyte vapors are inhaled, provide fresh air and seek medical attention if respiratory irritation develops. Ventilate the contaminated area.

Section 6 – Accidental Release Measures
Steps to Be Taken in Case Material is Released or Spilled
Batteries that are leakage should be handled with rubber gloves.
Avoid direct contact with electrolyte.
Wear protective clothing and a positive pressure Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA).
Section 7 – Handling and Storage
Safe handling and storage advice
Batteries should be handled and stored carefully to avoid short circuits.
Do not store in disorderly fashion or allow metal objects to be mixed with stored batteries.
Never disassemble a battery.
Do not breathe cell vapors or touch internal material with bare hands.
The cells and batteries shall not be stored in high temperature, the maximum temperature allowed is 60℃ for a short period during the shipment, Otherwise the cells maybe leakage and can result in shortened service life..

Section 12 – Ecological Information
Section 13 – Disposal Considerations
Dispose of batteries according to government regulations.
Section 14 – Transportation Information In general, all batteries in all forms of transportation (ground, air, or ocean) must be packaged in a safe and responsible manner.
Regulatory concerns from all agencies for safe packaging require that batteries be packaged in a manner that prevents short circuits and be contained in “strong outer packaging” that prevents spillage of contents. All original packaging for GP alkaline batteries has been designed to be compliant with these regulatory concerns.
Alkaline batteries (sometimes referred to as “Dry cell” batteries) are not listed as dangerous goods under the ADR European
Agreement Concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road, the IMDG International Maritime Dangerous
Goods Code, UN Dangerous Good Regulations, IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations 63rd edition, ICAO Technical Instructions and the U.S. hazardous materials regulations (49 CFR). These batteries are not subject to the dangerous goods regulations provided they meet the requirements contained in the following special provisions
. Regulatory Body Special Provisions
ADR Not regulated
IMDG Not regulated
UN Not regulated
US DOT 49 CFR 172.102 Provision 130
IATA A123
ICAO Not regulated
All GP alkaline batteries are packed in such a way to prevent short circuits or the generation dangerous quantities of heat and meet the special provisions listed above. In addition, the IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations and ICAO Technical Instructions require the words “not restricted” and the Special Provision number A123 be provided on the air waybill, when an air waybill is issued.
Section 15 – Regulatory Information
Special requirements according to local regulations.

Section 16 – Other Information
The data in this Material Safety Data Sheet relates only to the specific material designated herein.
Section 17 – Measures for fire extinction
In case of fire, it is permissible to use any class of extinguishing medium on these batteries or their packing material. Cool exterior of batteries if exposed to fire to prevent rupture.
Fire fighters should wear self-contained breathing apparatus.
