The revised Hazard Communication Standard of Osha, which is now organized with GHS Revision 7, is in force. Compliance periods approach substances until January 2026 and until July 2027 for mixtures. Make sure that your labels and SDS are on the right track to meet the new requirements.
Sodium-ion batteries-a deep dive
Sodium ion batteries are a new type of battery. Their properties resemble lithium-ion batteries, but have some advantages, e.g. B. lower costs and simpler recycling. For 2025, the IMDG code, the ICAO instructions and the IATA-Dangerous goods regulations have added four new UN numbers for sending sodium ion batteries as standalones or in or with equipment. While the US Dot and Transport Canada have not yet included them in their national regulations, there are problem bypasses with which you can also use these new descriptions for soil traffic.
