In the international trade and circulation of battery products, the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) is not only a legally mandatory technical document but also a key reflection of an enterprise’s social responsibility and product compliance. As a professional battery testing and certification institution, Guangdong Energy Storage Testing Technology Co., Ltd. provides an in-depth analysis of the professional requirements and preparation key points for battery MSDS reports.

Core Value & Legal Status of MSDS Reports

1. Mandatory Legal Requirements

According to chemical management regulations of major global economies, battery products must be accompanied by MSDS reports that meet standards:

• China: Explicitly required by the Regulations on the Safety Administration of Hazardous Chemicals;
• EU: Mandated by REACH Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006;
• U.S.: Required by OSHA Hazard Communication Standard 29 CFR 1910.1200;
• Japan: Clearly stipulated by the ISHL Act.

2. Indispensable Documents for Commercial Activities

• Necessary document for import and export customs clearance;
• Statutory accompanying document during transportation;
• Essential technical data for downstream customer procurement;
• Critical basis for emergency disposal and safe production.

Special Requirements for Battery MSDS Reports

Compared with ordinary chemicals, battery MSDS reports have unique technical requirements:

1. Section 2: Hazard Identification

Must clearly mark:

• Lithium-ion batteries: Flammability hazard, high-voltage hazard;
• Lead-acid batteries: Corrosivity hazard, heavy metal pollution hazard;
• Nickel-metal hydride batteries: Alkaline corrosion hazard.

2. Section 9: Physical and Chemical Properties

Special attention should be paid to:

• Rated capacity and voltage;
• Internal resistance characteristics;
• State of charge (SoC);
• Self-discharge rate.

3. Section 14: Transport Information

Must include:

• UN number (e.g., UN3480, UN3481);
• Proper shipping name;
• Packaging group;
• Special transport requirements.

Essential Elements of Professional MSDS Reports

1. Technical Accuracy

• Precise content of chemical components;
• Scientific assessment of hazard characteristics;
• Reasonable recommendations for protective measures;
• Correct guidance for emergency treatment.

2. Regulatory Compliance

• Complies with the latest regulatory requirements of the target country;
• Adopts the specified language and format;
• Includes necessary legal statements;
• Reflects the latest classification standards.

3. Timeliness Requirements

• MSDS reports are valid for the calendar year;
• Immediate update required when components change;
• Timely revision required when regulations are updated;
• Update required when new safety information is obtained.

Common Issues & Solutions

Issue 1: Report Not Recognized

• Causes: Non-compliant format, missing content, language errors;
• Solutions: Adopt the standard format of the target country, ensure completeness of all 16 sections, and use the official language.

Issue 2: Transport Disruption

• Causes: Incorrect transport information, inaccurate classification;
• Solutions: Clearly mark the correct UN number and conduct accurate hazard classification.

Issue 3: Customs Clearance Difficulties

• Causes: Incomplete information, missing signatures;
• Solutions: Provide comprehensive information and ensure the responsible person’s signature is included.
