Batteries are considered as articles under REACH regulation 1907/2006/EC and, as such, do not require the publication of a safety data sheet.

However, there is a requirement to provide safety information on products. This document, which fulfils this requirement, is commonly called an

SDS, but, in Europe, is more correctly referred to as ‘Information for the Safe Handling of Lead-Acid Batteries’

This leaflet was prepared by the

Committee of Environmental Affairs of EUROBAT (May 2003), reviewed by EUROBAT TC members (September 2003) and CEM (October –

November 2003). Revision: July 2018.

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. However, 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 may have to be marked with the symbols listed under section 15.

1) 2) 3) Contents may vary due to performance data and/or application of the Battery Density of the electrolyte varies in accordance to the state of charge Composition of the plastic may vary due to different customer requirements * Lead metal (CAS 7439-92-1) is classified as a substance of very high concern under REACH ** Dry Batteries/dry cells contain more than 0,1 % of Lead Monoxide. Lead Monoxide (CAS No.: 1317-36-8) is listed as a substance of very high concern under EU REACH Regulation.

8. Exposure limits and personal protective equipment 8.1 Lead and Lead compounds No exposure to lead and lead compounds during normal conditions of use. 8.2 Electrolyte (Sulphuric Acid) Exposure to sulphuric acid and acid mist might occur during filling and charging. Threshold value in workplace: occupational exposure limits for sulphuric acid mist are regulated on a national basis.

11. Toxicological 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. Acute toxicity data: LD50 (oral, rat) = 2140 mg/kg LC50 (inhalation, rat) = 510 mg/m³/2h 11.

14. Transport Regulation 14.1 Flooded Lead-Acid batteries*: Land Transport Sea Transport Air Transport Land Transport (ADR/RID) - UN N°: UN2794 - Classification ADR/RID: Class 8 - Proper Shipping Name: BATTERIES, WET, FILLED WITH ACID electric storage - Packing Group: not assigned - Packaging instruction: P 801 - ADR/RID: New and spent batteries are exempt from all ADR/RID (special provision 598).

15. Regulatory Information In accordance with EU Battery Directive and the respective national legislation, Lead-Acid batteries have to be marked by a crossed out dust bin with the chemical symbol for lead shown below, together with the ISO return/recycling symbol. In addition Lead-Acid batteries may have to be labelled with the hazard symbols described below: Labelling may vary due to application and dimension of the Battery.
