Disposable batteries play an indispensable role in modern life. They are widely used in a variety of devices such as remote controls, flashlights, toys, and other portable electronics. These batteries are generally favored by consumers for their convenience and low cost, however, safety issues are also a growing concern. In order to standardize the production and use of disposable batteries, China\'s national standard GB/T 8897.5 came into being.

Recently, China Quality Certification Center (CQC) issued a notice on the implementation of the new standard for external power adapters, chargers and built-in switching power supply products for household and similar appliances.New standards GB/T 4706.1-2024 \"Safety of Household and Similar Electrical Appliances Part 1: General Requirements\" and GB 4343.1-2024 \"Requirements for Electromagnetic Compatibility of Household Electrical Appliances, Electric Tools and Similar Appliances Part 1: Emission\" (hereinafter referred to as \"the new standard\").It will replace GB 4706.1-2005 and GB 4343.1-2018 (hereinafter referred to as \"the old standard\") respectively.

On September 27th, 2024, the European Commission published regulations (EU) 2024/2555 and (EU)2024/2570 in its official gazette, and revised the EU POPs Regulation (EU) 2019/1021. Among them, the revised regulation (EU) 2024/2555 officially reduced the limit of unintentional trace pollutants of the original substance hexabromocyclododecane (HBCDD) from 100mg/kg to 75mg/kg. The revised regulation (EU)2024/2570 is to increase the control of the new substance methoxychlor, so far the number of prohibited substances of POPs in the EU has increased from 29 to 30. These regulations will take effect on the 20th day after the official gazette.

MSDS, or Material Safety Data Sheet, is an important legal document that records chemical information. This specification is provided by the manufacturer or importer of the chemical and is intended to provide the user with comprehensive information on the physical and chemical properties, toxicity, environmental hazards and health effects of the substance. To ensure the safe use, storage, transportation and emergency response of chemicals, MSDS can not be underestimated.

Driven by globalization and technological advances, lithium batteries have become a key component in areas such as portable electronic devices and electric vehicles. However, the high energy density characteristics of lithium batteries also make them a potential safety risk during transportation.

Lithium iron phosphate batteries, with their high safety, long cycle life and environmental characteristics, are profoundly changing our lives. Today, from electric vehicles to home energy storage systems, the application scenarios of lithium iron phosphate batteries continue to expand, providing a strong driving force for clean energy transformation and sustainable development. However, lithium batteries also face huge safety challenges during transportation. In order to ensure public safety and environmental safety, the international community has developed strict lithium battery transportation standards, of which UN38.3 certification is a recognized entry threshold. Through the UN38.3 certification, it means that the lithium iron phosphate battery has the ability to cope with various potential risks during transportation, which is a strong proof of product safety.

The UL 2743 standard was developed by Underwriters Laboratories (UL) to test and certify the safety and performance of electrical products. The standard requires the reliability and durability of products in specific environments, ensuring their safety during use, especially the risk of fire and electric shock. The role of the UL 2743 standard includes providing manufacturers with design and testing guidelines to help them improve the safety and market competitiveness of their products. At the same time, the standard also provides consumers with a reliable safety guarantee, ensuring that the electrical products they use meet strict safety requirements. The implementation of this standard can effectively reduce the risk of accidents and protect the safety of users\' lives and property.

On October 16th, 2024, ECHA released a message in official website, and the Committee of the Member States of the European Union (MSC) has agreed to designate triphenyl phosphate as substances of very high concern, namely SVHC, because it has endocrine-disrupting characteristics in the environment. ECHA will add this substance to the list of candidate substances in early November, when the list of SVHC candidate substances will increase to 242.
