MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET
(MSDS)
ECOMAX(R*) T8 FLUORESCENT LAMPS - MEDIUM BIPIN BASE, SINGLE BIPIN BASE
AND U-BENT
INFORMATION AND APPLICABILITY:
WESTINGHOUSE LIGHTING CORPORATION BELIEVES THAT UNDER THE OCCUPATIONAL
SAFETY AND HEALTH ADMINISTRATION (OSHA) HAZARDS COMMUNICATIONS STANDARD,
A LAMP (LIGHT BULB) IS EXEMPTED AS AN "ARTICLE" SO IT DOES NOT REQUIRE AN
MSDS. THE ORIGINAL OSHA STANDARD DEFINED AN ARTICLE AS SOMETHING THAT:
1) IS FORMED TO A SPECIFIC SHAPE AND DESIGN, 2) HAS END USE FUNCTIONS
DEPENDENT UPON ITS SHAPE AND DESIGN, AND 3) DOES NOT RELEASE OR OTHERWISE
RESULT IN AN EXPOSURE TO A HAZARDOUS CHEMICAL UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS OF
USE.
IN FEBRUARY, 1994, OSHA AMENDED THE HAZARD COMMUNICATION STANDARD AND
MODIFIED PART 3 OF THE ABOVE TO READ: 3) DOES NOT RELEASE MORE THAN VERY
SMALL QUANTITIES OF A HAZARDOUS CHEMICAL UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS OF USE.
STATE AND LOCAL REGULATIONS ALSO CONTAIN SIMILAR EXEMPTIONS FOR SUCH
ARTICLES.
HAZARDOUS MATERIALS ARE NOT RELEASED DURING NORMAL USE AND OPERATION OF
THESE LAMPS.
| PRODUCT AND COMPANY IDENTIFICATION |  |
THESE LAMPS OFFER GREAT LUMEN MAINTENANCE IN MULTIPLE KELVIN TEMPERATURES.
FOR USE WITH NEW OR EXISTING T8 BALLASTS IN INDUSTRIAL, COMMERCIAL AND
HOSPITALITY APPLICATIONS. FOR BEST RESULTS USE THESE BULBS IN CONJUNCTION
WITH A PROPERLY RATED BALLAST.

| CHEMICAL/PHYSICAL DATA | |
NOT APPLICABLE:
THIS ITEM IS A LIGHT BULB. THE BULB IS GLASS; THE BASE IS A COATED
ALUMINUM. THE COATING IS INERT.
| FIRE AND EXPLOSION DATA | |
FIRE AND EXPLOSION DATA:
NOT APPLICABLE - UNDER EXTREME HEAT, GLASS ENVELOPE MIGHT MELT OR CRACK.
| REACTIVITY DATA | |
STABILITY: LAMP IS STABLE.
POLYMERIZATION: NOT APPLICABLE.
INCOMPATIBILITY: GLASS WILL REACT WITH HYDROFLUORIC ACID.
HEALTH CONCERNS:
NOT APPLICABLE TO THE INTACT LAMP. BREAKAGE OF THE LAMP MAY RESULT IN SOME
EXPOSURE TO THE PHOSPHOR POWDER DUST AND TO A VERY LITTLE AMOUNT OF
ELEMENTAL MERCURY VAPOR. NO ADVERSE AFFECTS ARE EXPECTED FROM OCCASIONAL
EXPOSURE TO BROKEN LAMPS, BUT AS A MATTER OF GOOD PRACTICE, PROLONGED OR
FREQUENT EXPOSURE SHOULD BE AVOIDED THROUGH THE USE OF ADEQUATE VENTILATION
DURING DISPOSAL OF LARGE QUANTITIES OF LAMPS.
| EMERGENCY FIRST AID | |
NORMAL FIRST AID PROCEDURE FOR GLASS CUTS IF SUCH OCCUR THROUGH LAMP
BREAKAGE.
| PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE HANDLING AND USE | |
NORMAL PRECAUTIONS SHOULD BE TAKEN FOR THE COLLECTION OF BROKEN GLASS.
WASTE DISPOSAL METHOD:
AT THE END OF RATED LIFE, WHEN THIS LAMP IS REMOVED FROM SERVICE, IT WILL
BE SUBJECTED TO THE CURRENT TOXIC CHARACTERISTIC LEACHING PROCEDURE (TCLP)
PRESCRIBED BY THE ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY. THIS TEST IS USED TO
DETERMINING WHETHER AN ITEM IS A HAZARDOUS WASTE OR A NON-HAZARDOUS WASTE
UNDER CURRENT E. P. A. DEFINITION. WESTINGHOUSE LIGHTING WILL PROVIDE THE
TEST DATA ON REQUEST. THIS RESULT WILL ALLOW THE GENERATOR TO EVALUATE ALL
OF THE DISPOSAL OPTIONS, WHICH MAY BE AVAILABLE IN THE PARTICULAR STATE IN
WHICH THE GENERATOR'S FACILITY IS LOCATED. THE GENERATOR SHOULD CHECK WITH
FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL OFFICIALS FOR THEIR GUIDANCE. IN MOST STATES ALTO
LAMPS ARE CONSIDERED NON-HAZARDOUS SUBTITLE D WASTE. WESTINGHOUSE
ENCOURAGES RECYCLING OF ITS PRODUCTS BY QUALIFIED RECYCLERS.
| CONTROL MEASURES | |
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION:
NONE. NIOSH-APPROVED RESPIRATOR MIGHT BE USED IF LARGE VOLUMES OF LAMPS
ARE BEING BROKEN FOR DISPOSAL.
VENTILATION:
AVOID INHALATION OF ANY AIRBORNE DUST. PROVIDE LOCAL EXHAUST WHEN DISPOSING
OF LARGE QUANTITIES OF LAMPS.
HAND AND EYE PROTECTION:
APPROPRIATE HAND AND EYE PROTECTION SHOULD BE WORN WHEN DISPOSING OF LARGE
QUANTITIES OF LAMPS OR HANDLING BROKEN LAMPS
| REGULATORY ISSUES | |
AS A PRODUCT THESE MERCURY CONTAINING LAMPS BEING SHIPPED IN THE
MANUFACTURER'S ORIGINAL PACKAGING ARE NOT REGULATED BY AIR, TRUCK OR OCEAN
SHIPMENT. AS A WASTE, SPENT ECOMAX FLUORESCENT LAMPS MAY BE REGULATED IN
VARIOUS STATES AND LOCAL COMMUNITIES. THIS MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET DOES
NOT CONSTITUTE "KNOWLEDGE OF THE WASTE", IN CERTAIN JURISDICTIONS. TCLP
