Section 1. IDENTIFICATION

Technical Consumer Products, Inc. • 325 Campus Drive • Aurora, Ohio 44202 • 1-800-324-1496

This document pertains to all TCP CFL items.

TCP’s CFL Lamps meet the requirements of an “Article” according to 29 CFR 1910.1200. This product is exempt from

OSHA’s Hazard Communication Standard requirements for an MSDS because it meets the definition of an “article”. An

article is a manufactured item: (1) which is formed to a specific shape or design during manufacture (2) which has end

use function(s) dependent in whole or in part upon its shape or design during end use: and (3) which does not release, or

otherwise result in exposure to, a hazardous chemical under normal conditions of use. Any product which meets the

definition of an “article” is exempt from the requirements of the Standard.

Section 2. HAZARDOUS IDENTIFICATION

GHS classification in accordance with 29 CFR 19100.1200

Not a hazardous substance according to OSHA GHS.

Section 3. COMPOSITION / INFORMATION ON INGREDIENTS

Section 4. FIRST-AID MEASURES

THERE ARE NO KNOWN HEALTH HAZARDS FROM EXPOSURE TO LAMPS THAT ARE INTACT AND USED AS INTENDED.

No adverse effects are expected from occasional exposure to broken lamps. As a matter of good practice, avoid

prolonged or frequent exposure tor broken lamps unless there is adequate ventilation. The major hazard from broken

lamps is the possibility of sustaining glass cuts, apply normal first-aid.

Section 5. FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS

NOT APPLICABLE TO AN INTACT LAMP THAT IS USED AS INTENDED.

Flammability: Non-combustible

Fire Extinguishing: Use extinguishing agents suitable for surrounding fire. If exposed to extreme heat the plastic and glass

components may crack or melt and may release toxic fumes.

Lamp may be electrically conductive.

Section 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

THERE ARE NO KNOWN HEALTH HAZARDS FROM EXPOSURE TO LAMPS THAT ARE INTACT AND USED AS INTENDED.

Breakage of lamp may result in some exposure to phosphor powder and elemental mercury. No adverse effects are

expected from occasional exposure to broken lamps. As a matter of good practice avoid prolonged exposure through

the use of adequate ventilation during clean up or disposal.

Mercury: The mercury in the air as a result of breaking one or a small number of fluorescent lamps should not result in

significant exposures to an individual. However, when breaking a large number of lamps for disposal, appropriate

industrial hygiene monitoring and controls should be implemented to minimize airborne levels or surface contamination.

We recommend a well-ventilated area, and local exhaust ventilation or personal protective equipment.

Phosphor: There have been no significant adverse effects on humans by ingestion, inhalation, skin contact, or eye

contact. Antimony, manganese, yttrium and tin compounds are characterized by OSHA as hazardous chemicals,

however, due to their insolubility, relatively low toxicity and small amount present in the phosphor and lamp, these materials do not present a significant hazard in the event of breakage of the lamp. Glass: Glass dust is considered to be physiologically inert and as such has an OSHA exposure limit of 15-mg/cubic meter for total dust and 5-mg/cubic meter for respirable dust. Perform normal first aid procedures. Seek medical attention as required.
