TESLA BATTERY EMERGENCY RESPONSE GUIDE
2.1. SDS and Product Information
Safety Data Sheets (SDS) are a sub-requirement of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Hazard Communication Standard, 29 CFR Subpart 1910.1200. This Hazard Communication Standard does not apply to various subcategories including anything defined by OSHA as an “article.” OSHA has defined “article” as a manufactured item other than a fluid or particle; (i) which is formed to a specific shape or design during manufacture; (ii) which has end use function(s) dependent in whole or in part upon its shape or design during end use; and (iii) which under normal conditions of use does not release more than very small quantities (e.g., minute or trace amounts) of a hazardous chemical, and does not pose a physical hazard or health risk to employees.
Tesla Energy Products referenced herein meet the OSHA definition of “article.” Thus, they are exempt from the requirements of the Hazard Communication Standard and do not require an SDS. However, SDS are available for non-cell materials found inside these products.
Tesla Energy Products contain sealed lithium-ion battery cells (cells) that are similar to rechargeable batteries in many consumer electronic products. Cells are individually hermetically sealed cylinders approximately 21 mm in diameter and 70 mm in length.
Cells each contain lithium ion electrodes, which can be composed of either:
• Lithium Nickel Cobalt Aluminum Oxide (NCA material), LiNixCoyAlzO2;
• Lithium Nickel, Manganese, Cobalt Oxide (NMC material) LiNixMnyCozO2;
• Lithium Nickel, Manganese Oxide (NMO material), LiNixMnyO2
• Lithium Cobalt Oxide, LiCoO2;
• or a mixture of these compounds
THE CELLS AND BATTERIES DO NOT CONTAIN METALLIC LITHIUM. Individual cells have nominal voltages of approximately 3.6 V.
Tesla Energy Products also include sealed thermal management systems containing coolants and/or refrigerants. Safety Data Sheets (SDS) are available for these liquid materials.
