Section 11 - Toxicological Information
11.1 Information on toxicological effects
The chemicals mentioned in Section 3 are contained in a sealed can.
Risk of exposure occurs only if the battery is mechanically or electrically abused or if it is ingested (see safety
precautions in section 7).
Classification based on the hazardous substances contained in the product (electrode materials and electrolyte
solution contained in the batteries):
Acute toxicity
Harmful if swallowed (Manganese Dioxide)
Harmful if inhaled (Manganese Dioxide, DME)
Skin corrosion/irritation
Causes skin irritation (Lithium)
Serious eye damage/irritation
Causes serious eye damage (Lithium)
Respiratory or skin sensitization
Based on classification of ingredients, the classification criteria are not met.
Germ cell mutagenicity
Based on classification of ingredients, the classification criteria are not met.
Carcinogenicity
Based on classification of ingredients, the classification criteria are not met.
Reproductive toxicity
May damage fertility. May damage the unborn child. (DME)
STOT-single exposure
Based on classification of ingredients, the classification criteria are not met.
STOT-repeated exposure
May cause damage to organs (Brain) through prolonged or repeated exposure (Inhalation) (Manganese Dioxide)
Aspiration hazard
Based on classification of ingredients, the classification criteria are not met.
11.2 Information on the likely routes of exposure
The chemicals mentioned in Section 3 are contained in a sealed can.
Risk of exposure occurs only if the battery is mechanically or electrically abused or if it is ingested (exposure via
ingestion, skin or eye contact or inhalation). The most likely risk is acute exposure when a cell vents.
11.3 Symptoms related to the physical, chemical and toxicological characteristics
No further information available.
11.4 Delayed and immediate effects and also chronic effects from short and long term exposure
The chemicals mentioned in Section 3 are contained in a sealed can.
Risk of exposure occurs only if the battery is mechanically or electrically abused or if it is ingested (see Safety
precautions in Section VII). Swallowing of a battery can lead to chemical burns, perforation of soft tissues and death.
Severe burns can occur within 2 hours of ingestion. In case of ingestion, seek medical attention immediately.
11.5 Numerical measures of toxicity
