Through the ACCC, the Australian Government has introduced mandatory information and safety standards to ensure that:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- Button or coin batteries, and products containing them, are supplied with appropriate warning labels that alert consumers and raise public awareness of the risks.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Laboratory testing is conducted in accordance with safety standards to confirm that batteries remain inaccessible during reasonably foreseeable use and misuse of the product.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
The AWTA Product Testing protocol supports both the assessment of required information labels and testing against the options provided in the relevant safety standard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Testing typically subjects the product to a series of drop, impact and crush tests. Specified probes are then used to simulate a finger attempting to access the battery compartment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As button and coin batteries are used in a wide range of consumer goods, both product-specific and non-product-specific test methods are available. This allows a testing program to be tailored to the relevant product type.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Testing will vary somewhat influenced by the product, and pricing for the testing is on application and formal quotation. Typical service time is approximately 15 working days from receipt of goods into the AWTA Product Testing Melbourne laboratory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
