Safety Standard for Button Cell or Coin Batteries and Consumer Products Containing Such Batteries
16 CFR Part 1263
16 CFR Part 1263 is Safety Standard for Button Cell or Coin Batteries and Consumer Products Containing Such Batteries. To certify a product to it, 16 CFR 1110.11(a)(2) requires the rule to be stated separately on the certificate, written as "16 CFR Part 1263 — Safety Standard for Button Cell or Coin Batteries and Consumer Products Containing Such Batteries". The eCFR records this part as last amended on 2024-09-23.
How to cite this on a certificate
16 CFR 1110.11(a)(2) requires each applicable rule to be stated separately. Listing it like this satisfies the form of the requirement:
16 CFR Part 1263 — Safety Standard for Button Cell or Coin Batteries and Consumer Products Containing Such Batteries
Citing a rule does not make it applicable, and 16 CFR 1110.11(a)(2) asks for every applicable rule. Whether this one applies to your product depends on its materials, construction and intended user age, which is your determination to make.
