SECTION 2: Hazards identification

Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 The battery is not labelled with a hazmat label. It is not classified as dangerous or hazardous when undamaged and used as intended, and as such it is exempted from GHS (Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals) classification and labelling. Do not open, disassemble, crush or burn the battery. The battery contains dangerous ingredients. Exposure to the ingredients contained within the battery cells could be harmful. The battery cells include a barrier, preventing exposure to the user and environment. The battery cells are not classified as hazardous

2.3 Other hazards

Overcharge: If the cells that form the battery block are overcharged, the results may be a thermal runaway. • External fire: Internal pressure and thermal runaway may be the consequences if the cells inside the battery are exposed to temperatures above 85 °C. • Internal short circuit: Internal short circuit in a cell. Destruction of the separator can cause a short circuit between the anode and cathode. Thermal runaway and fire is possible. • Water ingress: Internal pressure, thermal runway and chemical reactions may be the consequence. The transponder is fitted with a pressure relief valve at the bottom of the unit. The relief valve prevents overpressure. Noxious gases and ingredients will then leak out of the transponder until the chemical reactions have stopped. Products generated by the chemical reactions during an emergency may however clog this pressure release valve.
