Table of Contents
The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has issued a notice regarding a revision to UL 4200A, a voluntary safety standard for products that use button cell or coin batteries. This standard is already part of the CPSC’s mandatory safety rules for these products.
Why it matters: This is primarily an administrative update to technical specifications. It matters because manufacturers of products with button batteries must comply with the referenced standard. If the CPSC adopts the revision, companies may need to adjust their testing or design processes to meet the new requirements.
Who it affects
- Manufacturers of consumer products containing button or coin batteries
