Description
New button battery requirements
The Australian Government is introducing new mandatory safety and information standards for products containing button batteries. These require:
- secure battery compartments to stop children from accessing the batteries
- compliance testing to demonstrate the batteries are secure
- warnings and emergency advice on packaging
- child-resistant packaging for higher risk batteries.
Some of the new standards go beyond the requirements of international industry standards, which had been voluntary. In particular, a warning symbol is now required on the front of the packaging of products that contain button batteries, and some button batteries must come in child-resistant packaging.
Lithium batteries cause tissue damage more quickly than other types of button batteries.
Lithium batteries especially dangerous
This includes lithium batteries, which pose the highest risk. They usually have a larger surface area than other button batteries, which means they’re more likely to get stuck in a child’s oesophagus if swallowed. They also have a higher voltage, which can cause tissue damage more quickly.
Other button batteries, such as those with an alkaline, silver oxide or zinc-air makeup, must also come in child-resistant packaging if they are 16mm or bigger.
