SECTION 2: Hazards identification

Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 Preparation Hazards and Classification: Not classified as dangerous or hazardous with normal use. The cell should not be opened or burned. Exposure to the ingredients contained within or their combustion products could be harmful. European Communities (EC): This product is not classified as hazardous ac-

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 solu- tion 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.
