COMPANY IDENTIFICATION:
CETEOR SPRL

| 2. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION | |
NO HAZARDS OCCUR DURING THE NORMAL OPERATION OF A LEAD ACID BATTERY
AS IT IS DESCRIBED IN THE INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE THAT ARE PROVIDED WITH
THE BATTERY. LEAD-ACID BATTERIES HAVE THREE SIGNIFICANT CHARACTERISTICS:
THEY CONTAIN AN ELECTROLYTE WHICH CONTAINS DILUTED SULPHURIC ACID.
SULPHURIC ACID MAY CAUSE SEVERE CHEMICAL BURNS.
DURING THE CHARGING PROCESS OR DURING OPERATION THEY MIGHT 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 A SEVERE ELECTRICAL SHOCK IN THE EVENT OF
A SHORT CIRCUIT.
THE BATTERIES HAVE TO BE LABELLED WITH THE SYMBOLS LISTED UNDER ITEM 15.
| 3. COMPOSITION/INFORMATION ON MAIN INGREDIENTS | |
CHEMICAL NAME CAS-NO WEIGHT %
LEAD GRID 7439-92-1 APPROX. 32
(METALLIC LEAD, LEAD ALLOYS WITH
POSSIBLE TRACES OF ADDITIVES)
ELECTROLYTE
(DILUTED SULPHURIC ACID WITH 7664-93-9 APPROX. 29
ADDITIVES)
ACTIVE MASS N/A APPROX. 32
(BATTERY OXIDE, INORGANIC LEAD
COMPOUNDS)
PLASTIC CONTAINER / PLASTIC PARTS N/A APPROX. 7
| 4. FIRST AID MEASURES | |
THIS INFORMATION IS OF RELEVANCE ONLY IF THE BATTERY IS BROKEN AND
THIS RESULT IN A DIRECT CONTACT WITH THE INGREDIENTS OF THE BATTERY.
ELECTROLYTE (SULPHURIC ACID):
AFTER SKIN CONTACT: RINSE WITH WATER, REMOVE AND WASH WETTED CLOTHING
AFTER INHALATION OF ACID MIST: INHALE FRESH AIR
AFTER CONTACT WITH THE EYES:
RINSE UNDER RUNNING WATER FOR MINIMUM 15 MINUTES
AFTER SWALLOWING:
DRINK LOT OF WATER IMMEDIATELY, SWALLOW ACTIVATED CARBON, DON'T INDUCE
VOMITING
LEAD COMPOUNDS:
AFTER SKIN CONTACT: CLEAN WITH WATER AND SOAP
AFTER CONTACT WITH THE EYES:
RINSE UNDER RUNNING WATER FOR MINIMUM 15 MINUTES
| 5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES | |
SUITABLE FIRE EXTINGUISHING AGENTS:
CO2 IS THE MOST EFFECTIVE FIREFIGHTING AGENT. WATER, FOAM AND DRY
POWDER ARE SUITABLE AGENTS AS WELL. USE OF DRY POWDER MAY CAUSE
COLLATERAL DAMAGES.
UNSUITABLE FIRE EXTINGUISHING AGENTS:
WATER, IF THE BATTERY VOLTAGE IS ABOVE 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.
| 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES | |
THIS INFORMATION IS OF RELEVANCE ONLY IF THE BATTERY IS BROKEN AND
THE INGREDIENTS ARE RELEASED.
IN THE CASE OF SPILLAGE, USE A BONDING AGENT (SAND, LIME, SODIUM
CARBONATE) FOR NEUTRALISATION. DISPOSE THE USED BONDING AGENT WITH
DUE REGARD TO LOCAL WASTE MANAGEMENT REGULATIONS. DO NOT ALLOW
PENETRATION OF ELECTROLYTE INTO THE SEWAGE SYSTEM, INTO EARTH OR
WATER BODIES.
| 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE | |
STORE UNDER A ROOF IN COOL AMBIENT TEMPERATURE RANGE. FOR FULLY CHARGED
LEAD-ACID BATTERIES THIS RANGE IS FROM -40 UP TO +60 DEG. C.
IF BATTERIES HAVE THE POSSIBILITY TO REMAIN DISCHARGED IN COLD CONDITIONS,
A CORRECTION TO THE LOWER TEMPERATURE LIMIT IS RECOMMENDED TO PREVENT
FREEZING:
-30 DEG. C AT 75% STATE OF CHARGE
-20 DEG. C AT 50% STATE OF CHARGE
AND -10 DEG. C AT 25% STATE OF CHARGE
THIS WILL HELP PREVENT SHORT CIRCUITS AND DAMAGE TO THE BATTERIES.
BATTERIES CONTAIN ELECTROLYTE (DILLUTED SULPHURIC ACID), SO BATTERIES
SHOULD BE STORED IN AN UPRIGHT POSITION. IF LARGER QUANTITIES OF BATTERIES
ARE STORED, IT IS RECOMMEND TO CONSULT THE REGIONAL AUTHORITIES THAT ARE
COMPENTENT FOR GROUNDWATER PROTECTION.
| 8. EXPOSURE CONTROL/PERSONAL PROTECTION | |
8.1 LEAD AND LEAD COMPOUNDS:
NO EXPOSURE TO LEAD AND LEAD-CONTAINING BATTERY PASTE DURING NORMAL
CONDITIONS OF USE.
8.2 ELECTROLYTE (SULPHURIC ACID):
EXPOSURE TO SULPHURIC ACID AND ACID MIST MIGHT OCCUR DURING FILLING
AND CHARGING. OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE LIMITS FOR SULPHURIC ACID MIST ARE
REGULATED NATIONAL BASIS.
HAZARD CLASS: SKIN CORROSIVE 1A
PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT:
P280: WEAR PROTECTIVE GLOVES/PROTECTIVE CLOTHING AND EYE/FACE PROTECTION.
CAS-NO: 7664-93-9
HAZARD STATEMENT:
H314: CAUSE SEVERE SKIN BURNS AND EYE DAMAGE
PRECAUTIONARY STATEMENTS:
P102: STORE AWAY AND KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN
P210: KEEP AWAY FROM HEAT/SPARKS/OPEN FLAMES.NOSMOKING

| 11. TOXOLOGICAL INFORMATION | |
THIS INFORMATION DOES NOT APPLY TO THE FINISHED PRODUCT "LEAD-ACID
BATTERY". THIS INFORMATION ONLY APPLIES TO ITS COMPOUNDS IN CASE OF
A BROKEN PRODUCT. DIFFERENT EXPOSURE LIMITS EXIST ON A NATIONAL LEVEL.
11.1 ELECTROLYTE (DILUTED SULPHURIC ACID):
SULPHURIC ACID IS INTENSELY CORROSIVE TO SKIN AND MUCOUS MEMBRANES; THE
INHALATION OF MISTS MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE RESPIRATORY TRACT.
11.2 LEAD AND LEAD COMPOUNDS:
LEAD AND ITS COMPOUNDS USED IN A LEAD ACID BATTERY MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE
BLOOD, NERVES AND KIDNEYS WHEN INGESTED. THE LEAD CONTAINED IN THE ACTIVE
MATERIAL IS CLASSIFIED AS TOXIC FOR REPRODUCTION.
| 12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION | |
THIS INFORMATION DOES NOT APPLY TO THE FINISHED PRODUCT "LEAD-ACID
BATTERY". THIS INFORMATION ONLY APPLIES TO ITS COMPOUNDS IN CASE OF
A BROKEN PRODUCT AND THE COMPOUNDS ARE RELEASED TO THE ENVIRONMENT.
12.1 ELECTROLYTE (DILUTED 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 ELECTROLYTE MAY ALSO CONTAIN SOLUBLE
COMPONENTS OF LEAD THAT CAN BE TOXIC TO AQUATIC ENVIRONMENTS
12.2 LEAD AND LEAD COMPOUNDS:
CHEMICAL AND PHYSICAL TREATMENT IS REQUIRED FOR THE ELIMINATION FROM
WATER. WASTE WATER CONTAINING LEAD MUST NOT BE DISPOSED OF IN AN
UNTREATED CONDITION.
THE FORMER CLASSIFICATION OF LEAD COMPOUNDS AS TOXIC FOR THE AQUATIC
ENVIRONMENT R50/53 HAD BEEN TRIGGERED FROM TEST RESULTS GENERATED IN
THE 80'S FOR SOLUBLE LEAD COMPOUNDS (LEAD ACETATE). THE HARDLY SOLUBLE
LEAD COMPOUNDS SUCH AS BATTERY LEAD OXIDE WERE NOT TESTED AT THIS TIME.
TESTS ON BATTERY LEAD OXIDE WERE CARRIED OUT IN 2001 AND 2005. THE
RESPECTIVE TEST RESULTS CONCLUDE THAT BATTERY LEAD OXIDE IS NOT TOXIC
FOR THE ENVIRONMENT, NEITHER R50 NOR R50/53 NOR R51/53. FROM THIS IT
FOLLOWS THAT THE GENERAL CLASSIFICATION FOR LEAD COMPOUNDS (R50/53)
DOES NOT APPLY TO BATTERY LEAD OXIDE. AS THE RESULT OF THIS THE RISK
PHRASE R52/53 (GHS: H412; HARMFUL TO AQUATIC ORGANISMS, MAY CAUSE
LONG-TERM ADVERSE EFFECTS IN THE AQUATIC ENVIRONMENT) APPLIES TO
BATTERY LEAD OXIDE.
| 13. RECYCLING INFORMATION | |
SPENT LEAD-ACID BATTERIES ARE SUBJECT TO REGULATION OF THE EU BATTERY
DIRECTIVE (2006/66/EU) AND ITS ADOPTIONS INTO NATIONAL LEGISLATION.
SPENT LEAD-ACID BATTERIES (EWC 160601) ARE RECYCLED IN LEAD REFINERIES
(SECONDARY LEAD SMELTERS). THE COMPONENTS OF A SPENT LEAD-ACID BATTERY
ARE RECYCLED OR RE-PROCESSED.
AT 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.
FOR SAFETY REASONS AND TO SIMPLIFY THE COLLECTION AND RECYCLING OR
RE-PROCESSING PROCESS, SPENT LEAD-ACID BATTERIES MUST NOT BE MIXED
WITH OTHER BATTERIES. ESPECIALLY SPENT HIGH ENERGY BATTERIES (SUCH
AS Li-ION BATTERIES) HAVE TO BE KEPT SEPARATE FROM SPENT LEAD-ACID
BATTERIES.
BY NO MEANS MAY THE ELECTROLYTE (DILUTED SULPHURIC ACID) BE EMPTIED IN
AN INEXPERT MANNER. THIS PROCESS IS TO BE CARRIED OUT BY THE PROCESSING
COMPANIES ONLY.
