Recently, the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) issued the Final Rule (DFR) 16 CFR 1263 on September 21, 2023, for button and coin batteries and related products to protect children under 6 years old from battery ingestion hazards. The DFR will take effect on October 23, 2023.

The new rule incorporates the voluntary standard ANSI/UL 420A-2023 by reference as a mandatory standard for consumer goods that include button batteries or coin batteries.
Scope:
Consumer products that include the use of one or more button batteries or coin batteries, whether these batteries are intended for replacement by consumers, included with the product, or sold separately.
Exemption from this scope:
Toy products that meet the battery accessibility and labeling requirements of 16 CFR 1250; 
The Consumer Product Safety Commission has determined that there is no risk of ingestion in button batteries or button batteries, such as zinc air button batteries or coin batteries.
Requirements:
According to 16 CFR 1263, ANSI/UL 4200A-23 "Safety Standards for Products Containing Button or Coin Batteries" will become mandatory. ANSI/UL 4200A-2023 includes the following:
a. Fixed performance requirements for battery rooms;
b. Pre processing requirements;
c. Use and abuse testing;
d. Packaging requirements;
e. Label requirements.
16 CFR 1263 includes warning label requirements for button batteries or coin battery packaging, including button batteries or button batteries packaged separately from consumer goods.

If you need to enter the US market with products containing button batteries, you need to test them before providing them to consumers to prove that they meet safety standards.
