Section 2
2.1 Classification of the substance or mixture
There is no requirement to label the products as hazardous according to the “Directive on Dangerous Preparations” (EC) 1999 / 45 / EG. According to Appendix I of RL 67/548/EWG Nickel is listed as Carc. Cat. 3 and as sensitizing. Because of this any mixture containing 1 % or more Nickel is classified as for pure Nickel acc. to RL 1999 / 45 / EG. Nevertheless, these products as shipped do not pose any hazards to human health by inhalation, ingestion or skin contact and therefore do not have to be labeled as such. Section 15 covers all necessary information regarding Nickel.
Additional information
In addition to Nickel these low alloy wire electrodes also contain alloying elements such as Chromium, Copper, Manganese, Molybdenum, Silicon, Titanium and Vanadium which are either not classified as hazardous acc. to RL 1999/45/EG or are below the threshold limits or no limits set. The International Agency for Research on Cancer indicates Nickel refining and certain Nickel compounds as cancer-causing but could not confirm with certainty which forms of Nickel may be carcinogenic. The National Toxicology Program lists Nickel powder, Nickel subsulfide, Nickel carbonate, Nickel carbonyl and Nickel oxide as substances „that may reasonably be
