All batteries of all chemistries, where diameter exceeds height, will require warning information.

ALL lithium button / coin batteries where diameter is greater than height require compliant child proof packaging. For button/coin batteries of other chemistries, compliant child proof packaging is required where battery diameter is 16mm or greater.

Child-proof packaging exemptions:

Button/coin batteries are exempt from child proof packaging requirements where:

  • Button/coin batteries are of zinc air chemistry and intended for use in hearing aids
  • Button/coin batteries are supplied in bulk for use in trades, professions and industries and these batteries will not intended for supply direct to the general public (eg where a watchmaker buys a battery that they install into a watch on behalf of a consumer) 

The standards define button/coin batteries as any battery where battery diameter is greater than battery height.
