Classification system

In compliance with OSHA’s Hazard Communication Standard (29CFR 1910.1200), the Hazard Communication Standard does not apply to various subcategories including anything defined by OSHA as an “article”. OSHA has defined “article” as a manufactured item other than a fluid or particle; (i) which is formed to a specific shape or design during manufacture; (ii) which has end use function(s) dependent in whole or in part upon its shape or design during end use; and (iii) which under normal conditions of use does not release more than very small quantities, e.g., minute or trace amounts of a hazardous chemical, and does not pose a physical hazard or health risk to employees. Because the batteries are defined as “articles”, they are exempt from the requirements of the Hazard Communication Standard, hence a SDS is not required. National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) ratings (scale 0-4): Health=0 Fire=0 Reactivity=0 Hazard Overview Health: Minimal risk if used as directed. Fire: Not considered a fire hazard. Reactivity: Lithium battery does not contain hazardous materials according to the standard. Minimal risk. Special Hazards: Avoid ingestion of reagents, as toxicity has not been determined. Although no SDS is required by the standard, the following general guidelines are given should reagents be inhaled, ingested, or exposed to eyes or skin. Carcinogenicity information OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration): None of the ingredients is listed. NTP (National Toxicology Program): None of the ingredients is listed. IARC (International Agency for Research on Cancer): None of the ingredients is listed. SECTION 3 – PRODUCT COMPOSITION The test kit is composed of a lithium battery. Lithium battery (The battery contains the following) Chemical Name Positive Electrode Manganese Dioxide Negative Electrode Lithium Electrolyte Propylene Carbonate Solvent 1,2-Dimethoxyethane Solvent Lithium Perchlorate Salt
