SECTION 6: HEALTH EFFECTS
WARNING: These lamps emit ULTRAVIOLET RADIATION (UV-A).
These lamps can be harmful to skin and eyes in situations where people are exposed for
extended periods of time.
PET (Permissable Exposure Time) of 8 hours for occupational UV exposure - upon the unprotected skin
or eyes - is determined at a distance of 0.12 m (5 inch) from the bare lamp.
For safety reasons we advise to operate unshielded lamps in a fixture at least 0.50 m (20 inches) from
people.
Breakage of the lamp may result in some exposure to the phosphor powder dust/and to 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 AND FIRST AID PROCEDURE: Normal first aid procedure for glass cuts if such occur
through lamp breakage.
SECTION 7: PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE HANDLING AND USE
Consult the fixture manufacturer regarding the suitability of the fixture for this lamp. Operate with proper
auxiliary equipment. Turn off lamps before installing, replacing, cleaning or performing any maintenance
work near fixtures.
Handle lamps carefully to avoid breakage. Broken glass can cause cuts.
Normal precaution should be taken for 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. These lamps would fail the TCLP test and
would be considered hazardous under the Universal Waste Rules. Generators
should 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.
Philips encourages recycling of its products by qualified recyclers.
