SECTION 2: Hazards identification

(EC) No. 1272/2008 Not applicable under normal use in accordance with United Nations Conference on

2.1 Classification of the substance or mixture

Environment and Development (UNCED) and Occupational Safety & Health

Signal word

Environment and Development (UNCED) and Occupational Safety & Health

Hazard statements

Environment and Development (UNCED) and Occupational Safety & Health

Precautionary statements

P402: Store in a dry place. P410: Protect from sunlight. P501: Dispose of batteries in accordance with applicable hazardous waste regulations.

Classifications

burned. Exposure to the ingredients contained within or their combustion products could be harmful. European Communities (EC): This product is not classified as hazardous according to Regulation

Appearance/Odor

Solid object with no odor.

Principle Routes of Exposure

These chemicals are contained in a sealed enclosure. Risk of exposure occurs only if the cell is mechanically, thermally or electrically abused to the point of compromising the enclosure. If this occurs, exposure to the electrolyte solution contained within can occur by Inhalation, Ingestion, Eye contact and Skin contact.

Potential health effects

ACUTE (short term): see Section 8 for exposure controls In the event that this cell has been ruptured, the electrolyte solution contained within the cell would be corrosive and can cause burns to skin and eyes. Inhalation Inhalation of materials from a sealed cell is not an expected route of exposure. Vapors or mists from a ruptured cell may cause respiratory irritation. Ingestion Swallowing of materials from a sealed cell is not an expected route of exposure. Swallowing the contents of an open cell can cause serious chemical burns of mouth, esophagus, and gastrointestinal tract. Skin Contact between the cell and skin will not cause any harm. Skin contact with contents of an open cell can cause severe irritation or burns to the skin. Eye Contact between the cell and the eye will not cause any harm. Eye contact with contents of an open cell can cause severe irritation or burns to the eye.

Long term hazards

see Section 11 for additional toxicological data

Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure

Not available Exposure

Interactions with other chemicals

Immersion in high conductivity liquids may cause corrosion and breaching of the cell enclosure. The electrolyte solution inside of the power cells may react with alkaline (basic) materials and present a flammable hazard
