FOREWORD
INTRODUCTION
Clause
1 Scope
2 Normative references
3 Definitions
4 General safety advice
5 Explosion hazards
6 Pressure rupture
7 Chemical burns (electrolyte)
8 High power level hazard
9 High voltage levels (shock)
10 Thermal runaway
11 Disposal
12 Other recommendations
Outlines the fundamental conditions necessary for the creation of each hazard. It includes identification and characterization of the possible hazards inherent in the application, use, and abuse of nickel-cadmium cells and batteries. It also includes examples for appliance design which minimizes these hazards. Additionally it presents some typical but non-exhaustive examples of misuse that may precipitate or actions which mitigate the hazard.
