H226

Flammable liquid and vapour

Classification according to GHS

CLASS & CATEGORY: The product is a Lithium ion battery and is therefore classified as an article and is not hazardous when used according to the recommendations of the manufacturer. The hazard is associated with the contents of the battery. Under recommended use conditions, the electrode materials and liquid electrolyte are non-reactive provided that the battery integrity remains, and the seals remain intact. The potential for exposure should not exist unless the battery leaks, is exposed to high temperatures or is mechanically, electrically or physically abused/damaged. If the battery is compromised and starts to leak, based upon the battery ingredients, under the Model Work Health and Safety Regulations, the ingredients in the product would be rated as hazardous as per Section 2.3 Other Hazards* CLASS & CATEGORY: Under the Model Work Health and Safety Regulations the product would be rated by calculation as Hazardous: Flammable Liquids - Category 3 Acute Toxicity - Oral - Category 4 Skin Corrosion/Irritation - Category 1B Acute Toxicity - Inhalation - Category 3 Sensitisation - Respiratory - Category 1 Toxic to Reproduction - Category 1B Specific Target Organ Toxicity (Repeated Exposure) - Category 1

2.2 Label elements

No Work Health and Safety labelling is applicable to the battery which is considered an Article. If the battery is compromised and starts to leak, based upon the battery ingredients, under the Model Work Health and Safety Regulations, the ingredients in the product would be rated as hazardous and the Label Elements and Precautionary Statements as per Section 2.3 Other Hazards* will be applicable.

Signal word

Disposal

Not Applicable. Continued P501 - Dispose of contents/container in accordance with local regulations. ADDITIONAL HAZARDS: Lithium-Ion Batteries have a gas tight seal and are safe as long as they are handled in accordance with the manufacturer’s specifications. When re- charging batteries, always use chargers which are suitable for the battery type. Do not short-circuit batteries. Do not cause mechanical damage to batteries, by processes such as puncturing, deforming, disassembling, etc. Do not heat them above the permitted temperature (125oC) or burn them. Keep batteries away from small children. Never assume a battery is fully discharged. Batteries can contain a considerable amount of energy, which may be a source of high electric current and lead to severe electrical shock in the event of a short-circuit.

2.3 Other hazards

The following hazards are associated with the battery if the unit is compromised and the materials escape. They represent the hazards of the contents of the product that are not available under normal conditions of use but may create exposure if the casing of the article is damaged or breached.
