Nine-volt battery batteries were formerly made in this size. They had higher capacity than the then-standard carbon-zinc types, a nominal voltage of 8.4 volts, and very stable voltage. Once used in photographic and measuring instruments or long-life applications, they are no longer manufactured as mercury is highly toxic and accumulates in the ecosystem, posing a risk to humans and wildlife. Most battery voltage testers and chargers that can also test nine-volt need another snap clip to hold the battery, while cylindrical batteries often share a holder that may be adjustable in size. Because of the proximity of the positive and negative terminals
Asset Disposal and Information Security Alliance Asset Disposal and Information Security Alliance The Asset Disposal and Information Security Alliance (ADISA) is an organization that recommends standards for safely disposing of information technology (IT) equipment while minimizing the risk of exposure and misuse of any sensitive data stored on that equipment. The ADISA standards cover all phases of IT asset disposal including the collection, transportation, storage, erasure or destruction of components containing data, and recycling or waste disposal. Certification included periodic audits. Founded in 2010, the ADISA publishes separate versions of the standard for Asia/Pacific, the European Union, North America and the United Kingdom. The ADISA IT
