As this category is not described with a specific hazard symbol, Lead compounds have to be labeled with the “skull & crossbones“ symbol. Lead and Lead compounds are not classified “toxic“. 3) See section 12 – Ecological Information 4) Density of the electrolyte varies in accordance to the state of charge 5) Composition of the plastic may vary due to different customer requirements SECTION 3: Hazard Identification HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION: Ratings Codes 0= insignificant 1=Slight 2=moderate 3=High 4=Extreme HIMS Rating Health: 3 Flammability: 0 Reactivity: 2 Other: 0 NFPA Rating Health: 3 Flammability: 0 Reactivity: 2 Other: 0 Sulfuric acid is water-reactive if concentrated California Proposition 65 Warning – Battery posts, terminals and related accessories may contain lead and lead compounds, chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and reproductive harm Batteries also contain other chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer. Wash hands after handling. No hazards occur during the normal operation of a Lead Acid Battery as it is described in the instructions for use that are provided with the Battery. Lead acid Batteries have three significant characteristics: • They contain an electrolyte which contains diluted sulphuric acid. Sulphuric acid may cause severe chemical burns. • During the charging process or during operation they might develop hydrogen gas and oxygen, which under certain circumstances may result in an explosive mixture. • They can contain a considerable amount of energy, which may be a source of high electrical current and a severe electrical shock in the event of a short circuit. • The Batteries have to be marked with the symbols listed under section15.
