South Korea: A draft revision of safety verification criteria of primary batteries

 

South Korea has published a draft revision of safety verification criteria of primary batteries.

The revision is about establishing safety requirements for primary lithium batteries and application of child-resistant packaging for button/coin primary lithium batteries that do not apply to the current safety verification criteria for primary batteries.

The changes, contained in the KATS (Korean Agency for Technology and Standards) Public Notice No. 2024-0005, modify Article 2 and Article 15 of Electrical appliances and consumer products safety control Act.
