## List 242: Battery type and safety

| Value | Description | Notes |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 00 | Batteries not required | The default if battery type and safety information is omitted |
| 01 | Batteries built in | Batteries built in or pre-installed in product, non-user replaceable. May use <ProductFormFeatureDesciption> to provide further details |
| 02 | Batteries pre-installed | Batteries pre-installed, user replaceable. Use <ProductFormFeatureDescription> to provide further details, eg ‘2 x 1.2V LR6/AA rechargeable’, with these details formatted as [integer] x [number]V [type or descriptive text] and usually taken from the outer packaging |
| 03 | Batteries supplied | Batteries included with the product, but not pre-installed. Use <ProductFormFeatureDescription> to provide further details, eg ‘2 x 1.2V LR6/AA rechargeable’, with these details formatted as [integer] x [number]V [type or descriptive text] and usually taken from the outer packaging |
| 04 | Batteries required | Batteries required for use, but not supplied with the product. May use <ProductFormFeatureDescription> to provide further details, eg ‘2 x 1.2V LR6/AA rechargeable’, with these details formatted as [integer] x [number]V [type or descriptive text] and usually taken from the outer packaging |
| 05 | Batteries supplied spare | Spare batteries included with product, in addition to those specified using codes 02 or 03. May use <ProductFormFeatureDescription> to provide further details |
| 06 | Safety data sheet available | (Material) Safety Data Sheet available for the product (including its batteries). <ProductFormFeatureDescription> must be used to supply URL of documentation |
| 07 | Technical data sheet available | Battery manufacturer’s technical data sheet available. <ProductFormFeatureDescription> must be used to supply URL of documentation |
| 08 | Rechargeable | Independent of whether charger is supplied as part of the product. Note that this is largely dependent on battery chemistry, but should be specified separately to avoid ambiguity |
| 09 | Non-rechargeable |  |
| 10 | Battery warning text | <ProductFormFeatureDescription> contains battery safety-related warning text, generally taken from the outer packaging (eg ‘Warning – internal battery: product must not be pierced’) |
| 20 | Battery chemistry | <ProductFormFeatureDescription> must provide details of the battery chemistry (eg ‘Sodium-Sulfur’). Use ONLY where no suitable code exists for the specific chemistry used |
| 21 | Lithium-ion | For all specific battery chemistries, <ProductFormFeatureDescription> may optionally describe the battery construction – for example the nunber of individual cells per battery and any other physical details, eg ‘4 x pouch cells’ |
| 22 | Lithium-polymer |  |
| 23 | Lithium-metal |  |
| 24 | Nickel-metal hydride |  |
| 25 | Nickel-Cadmium |  |
| 26 | Zinc-Manganese dioxide | ‘Alkaline battery’ |
| 27 | Zinc-Carbon | Common ‘dry cell’ battery |
| 28 | Zinc-air |  |
| 29 | Silver oxide |  |
| 99 | Battery description | <ProductFormFeatureDescription> may contain a full description of the batteries supplied (chemistry, cell structure, battery size and weight, number, capacity etc). Use ONLY if the product (or a product part) contains multiple different TYPES of battery that cannot be described with existing codes (eg a mix of battery chemistries or batteries of different sizes, within a single product part) |
