11.4. Serious Eye Damage/Irritation: The electrolyte contained within the cell or battery is classified as a corrosive
liquid and is expected to exhibit serious Damage/Corrosivity.
11.5. Respiratory or Skin Sensitization: The electrolyte contained within the cell or battery is not expected to be a
skin sensitizer according to OECD test 406, based on the available data and the known hazards of the components.
The electrolyte contained within the battery is not expected to be a respiratory tract sensitizer, based on the available
data and the known hazards of the components.
11.6. Germ Cell Mutagenicity: The electrolyte contained within the cell or battery is not expected to be mutagenic
according to test such as OECD tests 471, 475, 476, 478 and 479, based on the available data and the known
hazards of the components.
11.7. Carcinogenicity: The electrolyte contained within the cell or battery is not expected to be a carcinogen. The
cathode contains Cobalt and Nickel components. These components are classified as IARC 2B – possibly
carcinogenic to humans, however they do not pose a threat when contained in the cell or battery sealed unit.
11.8. Reproductive Toxicity: The electrolyte contained within the cell or battery is not expected to be a reproductive
hazard according to test such as OECD tests 414 and 421, based on the available data and the known hazards of the
components.
11.9. Specific Target Organ Toxicity (STOT) – Single Exposure: The electrolyte contained within the cell or battery
is corrosive and is expect to cause respiratory irritation by inhalation. Inhalation of vapors may lead to severe irritation
of the mouth and upper respiratory tract with a burning sensation, pain, burns and inflammation in the nose and
throat; there may also be coughing or difficulty breathing.
11.10. Specific Target Organ Toxicity (STOT) – Repeated Exposure: The cells or batteries are not expected to
cause organ damage from prolonged or repeated exposure according to tests such as OECD tests 410 and 412,
based on the available data and the known hazards of the components.
11.11. Aspiration Hazard: The cells or batteries are not classified as an aspiration hazard, based on the available
data and the known hazards of the components. However, due to the corrosive nature of the product if swallowed, do
NOT induce vomiting. If vomiting has occurred after ingestion the person should be observed to ensure that aspiration
into the lungs has not occurred and assessed for chemical burns to the gastrointestinal and respiratory tracts.
