H220

Extremely flammable gas

Classification according to GHS

Physical) The Non-Spillable battery is a solid, manufactured article, which is adequately sealed (to avoid exposure to hazardous ingredients) when used according to the manufacturers recommendations. Under normal conditions of use, electrode materials and liquid electrolyte are contained, and are non-reactive provided the battery integrity is maintained and seals remain intact. Any risk of exposure is only in abuse situations, e.g. Mechanical, Thermal, Electrical, which may lead to the activation of safety vent valves, and/or the rupture of individual cell containers. Acidic electrolyte leakage can occur in abuse situations, which could subsequently result in a reaction with surrounding material or a chemical burn.

2.2 Label elements

Chemical) Classification of dangerous substances contained in the product as per Directive. No hazards occur during the normal operation of a lead acid battery as it is described in the instructions for use (provided with the battery). Lead-acid batteries have three significant characteristics: I) They contain an electrolyte which contains dilute sulphuric acid. Sulphuric acid may cause severe chemical burns. II) During the charging process or during operation they might develop hydrogen gas and oxygen, which under certain circumstances may result in an explosive mixture. III) 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. Paragraph 15 of the document provides information on the symbols that are displayed on the batteries. Health Environmental Physical Harmful Corrosive Health Hazard
