| SECTION 4: HAZARDS INDENTIFICATION | |
NO HAZARDS IN CASE OF AN INTACT BATTERY AND OBSERVATION OF THE INSTRUCTIONS
FOR USE.
VALVE REGULATED LEAD/ACID BATTERIES HAVE THREE SIGNIFICANT CHARACTERISTICS:
THEY CONTAIN DILUTE SULPHURIC ACID, WHICH MAY CAUSE SEVERE ACID BURNS;
DURING THE CHARGING PROCESS THEY DEVELOP HYDROGEN GAS AND OXYGEN, WHICH
UNDER CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES MAY RESULT IN AN EXPLOSIVE MIXTURE
THEY CAN CONTAIN A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF ENERGY WHICH MAY BE A SOURCE OF
HIGH ELECTRICAL CURRENT AND SEVERE ELECTRICAL SHOCK IN THE EVENT OF A SHORT
CIRCUIT.
| SECTION 5: FIRST-AID MEASURES | |
THIS INFORMATION IS OF RELEVANCE ONLY IF THE BATTERY IS BROKEN AND DIRECT
CONTACT WITH THE COMPOUNDS OCCURS.
GENERAL INFORMATION:
SULPHURIC ACID ACTS CORROSIVELY AND DAMAGES SKIN.
LEAD-CONTAINING BATTERY PASTE IS CLASSIFIED AS TOXIC REPRODUCTION IF
SWALLOWED).
LEAD-CONTAINING BATTERY PASTE:
AFTER CONTACT WITH SKIN: CLEAN WITH WATER AND SOAP
SULPHURIC ACID:
AFTER INHALATION OF ACID MIST*): INHALE FRESH AIR
AFTER CONTACT WITH THE EYES*):
RINSE WITH WATER, REMOVE AND WASH WETTED CLOTHING
AFTER SWALLOWING*):
DRINK A LOT OF WATER INNEDIATELY, AND SWALLOW ACTIVATED CARBON, DO NOT
INDUCE VOMITING
*) SEEK THE ADVICE OF A DOCTOR
| SECTION 6: FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES | |
SUITABLE FIRE EXTINGUISHING AGENTS: CO2 OR DRY POWDER EXTINGUISHING AGENT
UNSUITABLE EXTINGUISHING AGENTS:
WATER IN THE CASE OF BATTERY VOLTAGES OF OVER 120 V
SPECIAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT:
PROTECTIVE GOGGLES, RESPIRATORY PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT, ACID PROTECTIVE
EQUIPMENT, ACID-PROOF CLOTHING IN CASE OF LARGER STATIONARY BATTERY PLANTS
OR WHERE LARGER QUANTITIES ARE STORED.
| SECTION 7: ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES | |
CLEANING / TAKE-UP PROCEDURES:
USE A BONDING AGENT, SUCH AS SAND, TO ABSORB SPILT ACID; USE LIME / SODIUM
CARBONATE FOR NEUTRALISATION; DISPOSE OF WITH DUE REGARD TO THE OFFICIAL
LOCAL REGULATIONS; DO NOT PERMIT PENETRATION INTO THE SEWAGE SYSTEM, THE
EARTH OR WATER BODIES.
| SECTION 8: HANDLING AND USE | |
SPILL OR LEAK PROCEDURES:
STOP FLOW OF MATERIAL, CONTAIN/ABSORB SMALL SPILLS WITH DRY SAND, EARTH,
OR VERMICULITE. DO NOT USE COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS. IF POSSIBLE, CAREFULLY
NEUTRALIZE SPILLED ELECTROLYTE WITH SODA ASH, SODIUM BICARBONATE, LIME,
ETC. WEAR ACID-RESISTANT CLOTHING, BOOTS, GLOVES, AND FACE SHIELD. DO NOT
ALLOW DISCHARGE OF UNNEUTRALIZED ACID TO SEWER.
WASTE DISPOSAL METHODS:
SPENT BATTERIES: SEND TO SECONDARY LEAD SMELTER FOR RECYCLING.
PLACE NEUTRALIZED SLURRY INTO SEALED CONTAINERS AND HANDLE AS APPLICABLE
WITH STATE AND FEDERAL REGULATIONS. LARGE WATER-DILUTED SPILLS, AFTER
NEUTRALIZATION AND TESTING, SHOULD BE MANAGED IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPROVED
LOCAL, STATE, AND FEDERAL REQUIREMENTS. CONSULT STATE ENVIRONMENTAL AGENCY
AND/OR FEDERAL EPA.
HANDLING AND STORAGE:
STORE BATTERIES IN COOL, DRY, WELL-VENTILATED AREAS WITH IMPERVIOUS
SURFACES AND ADEQUATE CONTAINMENT IN THE EVENT OF SPILLS. BATTERIES SHOULD
ALSO BE STORED UNDER ROOF FOR PROTECTION AGAINST ADVERSE WEATHER
CONDITIONS. SEPARATE FROM INCOMPATIBLE MATERIALS. STORE AND HANDLE ONLY
IN AREAS WITH ADEQUATE WATER SUPPLY AND SPILL CONTROL. AVOID DAMAGE TO
CONTAINERS. KEEP AWAY FROM FIRE, SPARKS, AND HEAT.
| SECTION 9: EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION | |
NO EXPOSURE TO LEAD AND LEAD-CONTAINING BATTERY PASTE DURING NORMAL
CONDITIONS OF USE.
POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO SULPHURIC ACID AND ACID MIST DURING FILLING AND
CHARGING.
THRESHOLD VALUE IN WORKPLACE:
THE OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE LIMIT TO SULPHURIC ACID MIST IS REGULATED ON
A NATIONAL BASIS
HAZARD SYMBOL: C, CORROSIVE
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT:
RUBBER OR PVC GLOVES, ACID-PROOF GOGGLES, ACID-PROOF CLOTHING, SAFETY
BOOTS.
| SECTION 10: TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION | |
TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION:
SULFURIC ACID:
IS INTENSELY CORROSIVE TO SKIN AND MUCOUS MEMBRANES; THE INHALATION OF
MISTS MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE RESPIRATORY TRACT.
ACUTE TOXICITY DATA:
LD50 (ORAL, RAT): 2140 MG/KG
LC50 (INHALATION, RAT): 510 MG/MV2H.
LEAD AND LEAD COMPOUNDS:
MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE BLOOD, NERVES, AND KIDNEYS WHEN INGESTED;
LEAD-CONTAINING BATTERY PASTE IS CLASSIFIED AS TOXIC FOR REPRODUCTION.
SECTION 10 NOTES:
NOT APPLICABLE TO THE FINISHED PRODUCT 'LEAD-ACID' BATTERY, ONLY APPLICABLE
TO ITS COMPOUNDS IN CASE OF A BROKEN BATTERY. DIFFERENT EXPOSURE LIMITS
EXIST ON NATIONAL LEVEL.
| SECTION 11: ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION | |
THIS INFORMATION IS OF RELEVANCE IF THE BATTERY IS BROKEN AND THE CONTENTS
ARE RELEASED TO THE ENVIRONMENT.
LEAD AND LEAD COMPOUNDS:
CHEMICAL AND PHYSICAL TREATMENT IS REQUIRED FOR ELIMINATION FROM WATER.
WASTE WATER CONTAINING LEAD MUST NOT BE DISPOSED OF IN AN UNTREATED
CONDITION.
SULPHURIC ACID:
IN ORDER TO AVOID DAMAGE TO THE SEWAGE SYSTEM, THE ACID HAS TO BE
NEUTRALISED BY MEANS OF LIME OR SODIUM CARBONATE BEFORE DISPOSAL.
ECOLOGICAL DAMAGE IS POSSIBLE BY CHANGE OF PH.
THE ELECTROLYTE SOLUTION REACTS WITH WATER AND ORGANIC SUBSTANCES, CAUSING
DAMAGE TO FLORA AND FAUNA. THE BATTERIES ALSO CONTAIN SOLUBLE COMPONENTS OF
LEAD THAT CAN BE TOXIC TO AQUATIC ENVIRONMENTS.
| SECTION 12: DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS | |
THE POINTS OF SALE, THE MANUFACTURERS AND IMPORTERS OF BATTERIES,
RESPECTIVELY THE METAL DEALERS TAKE BACK SPENT BATTERIES, AND RENDER THEM
TO THE SECONDARY LEAD SMELTERS FOR PROCESSING.
SPENT LEAD-ACID BATTERIES (EUC 160601) ARE SUBJECT TO REGULATION 91/157/EC
(BATTERY DIRECTIVE) AND NATIONAL REGULATIONS ON THE COLLECTION OF
BATTERIES.
| SECTION 13: STABILITY AND REACTIVITY | |
