SPRING APART WHEN THE BANDING IS REMOVED AND THE BANDING ITSELF COULD
CAUSE EYE OR OTHER INJURY WHEN TENSION IS RELEASED.
CERTAIN PRODUCTS MAY, AS A RESULT OF PROCESSING, BE BRITTLE OR HAVE
RESIDUAL STRESS THAT MIGHT CAUSE FRACTURE OR SIGNIFICANT DEFORMATION.
ALL PRODUCTS ARE LIKELY TO HAVE SHARP EDGES THAT COULD CAUSE LACERATIONS
AND FLYING PARTICLES MAY BE PRODUCED WHEN SHEARING.
SUITABLE PROTECTIVE CLOTHING AND EQUIPMENT, SUCH AS HAND AND EYE
PROTECTION, SHOULD BE WORN AND SYSTEMS OF WORK ADOPTED TO TAKE ACCOUNT OF
ANY HAZARDS ARISING FROM THE RISK OF FRACTURING OR THE RELEASE OF TENSION
WHEN BREAKING OPEN BANDING.
SUITABLE RACKS SHOULD BE USED TO ENSURE STABILITY WHEN STOCKING NARROW
COILS.
7.2. CONDITIONS FOR SAFE STORAGE, INCLUDING ANY INCOMPATIBILITIES:
THE PRODUCT IS STABLE IN STORAGE. HOWEVER, IT SHOULD BE KEPT IN MIND THAT
THE PRODUCTS MAY DISPLAY SHARP EDGES AND A SUFFICIENTLY ROBUST PLACE
CAPABLE OF CARRYING THE SIGNIFICANT WEIGHT OF THE PRODUCTS SHOULD BE USED
FOR STORAGE.

| 11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION | |
11.1. INFORMATION ON TOXICOLOGICAL EFFECTS:
ACUTE TOXICITY: NICKEL ALLOYS ARE NOT ACUTE TOXIC.
IRRITATION:
THE EXPOSURE ROUTE OF CONCERN IS INHALATION. THESE NICKEL ALLOY PRODUCTS
ARE IN MASSIVE FORM, NOT CAPABLE OF BEING INHALED.
NOTE:
THE UK HEALTH & SAFETY EXECUTIVE'S PUBLICATION "CONTROL OF FUME ARISING
FROM ELECTRIC ARC WELDING OF STAINLESS STEEL" INDICATES THAT THERE IS SOME
RISK OF DEVELOPING ASTHMA FROM COMPOUNDS OF CHROMIUM VI AND NICKEL IN THE
FUME FROM STAINLESS STEEL WELDING. HOWEVER, STAINLESS STEEL WELDING FUME
DID NOT MEET THE EUROPEAN UNION CLASSIFICATION CRITERIA REQUIRED FOR A
SUBSTANCE CAPABLE OF CAUSING ASTHMA. IT IS ASSESSED THAT THIS ALSO APPLIES
FOR NICKEL ALLOYS.
CORROSIVITY: NICKEL ALLOYS ARE NOT CORROSIVE TO SKIN.
SENSITISATION:
NICKEL IS CLASSIFIED AS A SLDN SENSITISER. IT CAUSES SKIN SENSITISATION IN
SUSCEPTIBLE INDIVIDUALS THROUGH PROLONGED INTIMATE CONTACT WITH THE SKIN
(E.G. WEARING OF JEWELLERY). THE REQUIREMENTS OF EC REGULATION EC 1272/2008
ANNEX V3 TABLE 3.1 ARE SUCH THAT ALLOYS WITH 1% OR MORE OF NICKEL MUST, BY
DEFAULT, ALSO BE CLASSIFIED AS SKIN SENSITISERS.
THE USES OF PRODUCTS THAT CONTAIN NI AND WHICH COME INTO DIRECT AND
PROLONGED CONTACT WITH THE SKIN ARE LIMITED BY 2004/96/EC.
NICKEL-CONTAINING PRODUCTS IN DIRECT AND PROLONGED CONTACT WITH THE SKIN
MUST RELEASE NO MORE THAN 0.5 MG/CM2/WEEK OF NI AS DEFINED IN EN 1811.
REPEATED DOSE TOXICITY:
DURING MECHANICAL WORKING, FLAME CUTTING OR WIELDING, DUST, OR FUMES
CONTAINING COMPLEX OR MIXED OXIDES (SPINELS) OF ITS CONSTITUENTS, MAY BE
FORMED. OVER LONG PERIODS, INHALATION OF EXCESSIVE AIRBORNE LEVELS MAY
HAVE LONG TERM HEALTH EFFECTS, PRIMARILY AFFECTING THE LUNGS.
CARCINOGENICITY:
NICKEL METAL HAS BEEN CLASSIFIED, SEE SECTION 2, HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION.
THE EXPOSURE ROUTE OF CONCERN IS INHALATION. THESE NICKEL ALLOY PRODUCTS
ARE IN MASSIVE FORM, NOT CAPABLE OF BEING INHALED.
THE REQUIREMENTS OF EC REGULATION EC 1272/2008 ANNEX VI TABLE 3.1 ARE SUCH
THAT ALL ALLOYS WITH MORE THAN 1% NICKEL MUST HE CLASSIFIED IN THE SAME
WAY AS NICKEL ITSELF, BY DEFAULT.
THERE IS NO DIRECT EVIDENCE OF CARCINOGENIC EFFECTS OF NICKEL ALLOYS IN
MAN, NOR INDIRECT EVIDENCE FROM ANIMALS TESTED BY RELEVANT ROUTES, I.E.
INHALATION OR INGESTION. IN OTHER STUDIES, USING NON-RELEVANT ROUTES IN
ANIMALS, ALLOYS WITH UP TO 40% NICKEL CAUSED NO SIGNIFICANT INCREASE IN
CANCER.
STUDIES OF WORKERS EXPOSED TO NICKEL POWDER AND DUST AND FUMES GENERATED
IN THE PRODUCTION OF NICKEL ALLOYS AND STAINLESS STEELS HAVE NOT INDICATED
A RESPIRATORY CANCER HAZARD.
WELDING AND FLAME CUTTING FUMES MAY CONTAIN HEXAVALENT CHROMIUM COMPOUNDS,
STUDIES HAVE SHOWN THAT SOME HEXAVALENT CHROMIUM COMPOUNDS CAN CAUSE
CANCER. HOWEVER, EPIDEMIOLOGICAL STUDIES AMONGST WELDERS INDICATE NO EXTRA
INCREASED RISK OF CANCER WHEN WELDING STAINLESS STEELS, COMPARED WITH THE
SLIGHTLY INCREASED RISK WHEN WELDING STEELS THAT DO NOT CONTAIN CHROMIUM.
MUTAGENICITY: NICKEL ALLOYS ARE NOT CLASSIFIED AS MUTAGENIC.
TOXICITY FOR REPRODUCTION: NICKEL ALLOYS ARE NOT TOXIC FOR REPRODUCTION.
| 12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION | |
12.1. TOXICITY.: NOT ECOTOXIC.
12.2. PERSISTANCE AND DEGRADABILITY: NOT RELEVANT.
12.3. BIOACCUMULATIVE POTENTIAL: NONE.
12.4. MOBILITY IN SOIL: NOT SOLUBLE IN WRATER. IMMOBILE.
12.5. RESULTS OF PBT AND VPVB ASSESSMENT: NOT RELEVANT.
12.6. OTHER ADVERSE EFFECTS:
NO KNOWN HARMFUL EFFECTS. NO SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS ARE REQUIRED.
| 13. DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS | |
13.1 WASTE TREATMENT METHODS:
SURPLUS AND SCRAP (WASTE) NICKEL ALLOYS IS VALUABLE COMMODITY AND IN
DEMAND FOR THE PRODUCTION OF PRIME NICKEL ALLOYS AND STAINLESS STEEL.
RECYCLING ROUTES ARE WELL-ESTABLISHED, AND RECYCLING IS THEREFORE THE
PREFERRED DISPOSAL ROUTE. DISPOSAL TO LANDFILL IS NOT HARMFUL TO THE
ENVIRONMENT, BUT IS A WASTE OF RESOURCES AND THEREFORE LESS DESIRABLE
THAN RECYCLING.
| 14. TRANSPORT INFORMATION | |
NO SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS REQUIRED.
THE PRODUCT IS NOT CLASSIFIED AS HAZARDOUS FOR TRANSPORT.
| 15. REGULATORY INFORMATION | |
15.1. SAFETY, HEALTH AND ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATION/LEGISLATION SPECIFIC
FOR THE MIXTURE:
NICKEL ALLOYS ARE CLASSIFIED IN THE SAME WAY AS NICKEL METAL, SEE
SECTION 2. HAZARDS CLASSIFICATION, IN THIS DOCUMENT. HOWEVER, IN
RECOGNITION OF THEIR ESSENTIALLY NON-HAZARDOUS NATURE, NICKEL ALLOYS
IN THE MASSIVE FORM ARE NOT REQUIRED TO BE LABELLED AS HAZARDOUS.
15.2. CHEMICAL SAFETY ASSESSMENT:
NO CHEMICAL SAFETY ASSESSMENT HAS BEEN PUBLISHED.
