Use of the substance/preparation: C15 , small gas containing Receptacle to be used as Gas
Cartridge or Energy cell.
2 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
The gas cartridge contains Liquefied Petroleum Gases. Cartridge may burst individually when
exposed to high temperatures such as open flame.
Energy cells as such do not present a health hazard.
Risk of explosion of individual Energy cell when submitted to unforeseeable abnormal shock,
unforeseeable abnormal friction.
The gas, when released from the cartridge outside the appliance and without burning
(improper usage of the C15) does have the following identified hazards:
EU classification: Extremely Flammable
Human health hazards: Exposure to high vapour concentrations can lead to nausea, headache,
dizziness, and in extreme cases, loss of consciousness and death in oxygen
deficient environments. Prolonged exposure to vapour may affect the central
nervous system.
Contact with liquid LPG can cause cold burns.
Safety hazards: Extremely flammable liquefied gas, readily explodes in the presence of source of
ignition or flame impingement on containers. The vapour is heavier than air,
spreads along the ground and distant ignition is possible.
Environmental hazards: No specific hazards under normal use conditions. Liquefied Petroleum Gases are
very volatile liquids which on loss of containment will react rapidly with hydroxyl
radicals and ozone.
Preparation classification:
R12: Extremely flammable
