How do you see the need evolving? The UN Subcommittee on Dangerous Goods has approved an exemption from the test summary for button cells installed in equipment and the removal of the signature requirement. These changes will take effect in January 2023. Future work on the test summary by the UN Subcommittee on Dangerous Goods includes changes to the applicable compliance date (i.e. batteries manufactured after 2003 are subject to a test summary), clarification of what is meant by “providing” the test summary should not include, and a new statement clarifying that OEMs are responsible for their lithium batteries if they are “refurbished.”
Does CHEMTREC have a library of test summaries yet? Yes, CHEMTREC has moj database developed a program called CRITERION where we help customers obtain, maintain, and distribute lithium battery test summary reports. Learn more about CRITERION .
How does the CRITERION system help identify TS batteries? The CRITERION system provides an easy search function based on whether the information you are looking for is a product with a battery inside or a battery. Since products can have multiple TSs, product manufacturers can indicate the batteries associated with the product by linking multiple TS batteries together. This allows for searching for the standalone battery, which can then be linked to a product, and searching for a product (i.e. mobile phones) with one or more TS batteries.
My organization is a product manufacturer, how do I know I am connecting the correct TS battery? While the CRITERION system cannot determine whether the TS battery is valid and/or meets the necessary regulatory requirements, the system does provide insight into where the document originated, so you can make a more informed decision about whether or not to use a particular document.
It is very important to ensure that I have all the necessary batteries and products listed in my library. Is the CRITERION system able to provide detailed reports for this information? Yes, you can request a copy of a detailed report for all the products listed in your library. This includes a report showing.

If I need a product or battery that is listed, but is not currently in the CRITERION master library, what is the best way to request CHEMTREC to obtain the information on behalf of my organization? There are several ways to accomplish this. If you are an existing customer, and registered with the sourcing service, you can log in to the CRITERION system and complete a request form. When completing this request, you will need to indicate whether it is for a specific product (i.e. cell phone) or battery, in as much detail as possible .
