Four new mandatory Standards for button batteries and products containing button batteries are now in force as of 22/06/2022. These new Standards were introduced to reduce the risk of death and injury associated with the use of button batteries.
Full documentation can be found in the Button/coin Battery fact sheet issued by ACCC. The ACCC has also produced a Guide for businesses.
As a result of these new Standards, as of 22/06 a new attribute “Button Battery” is available in Seller Center that Sellers must use to identify items that have button batteries.
Once selected, the following will appear on the product pages:
1. Append a warning image to the last position of the product images:
2. Append hardcoded text to the product description:
As a result of the new legislation, THE ICONIC took this opportunity to complete a review of the products containing button batteries that it ranges. THE ICONIC has taken the decision that, effective from 10 October 2022, it will no longer offer for sale on its websites products with button batteries that are intended for use by children.
If these items are found during the quality check process, our team will reject them and contact the account holder to deactivate the products.
