2.HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION

・Most important hazard and effects

For the battery cell, chemical materials are stored in a hermetically sealed metal case, designed to withstand

temperatures and pressures encountered during normal use. As a result, during normal use, there is no

physical danger of ignition or explosion and chemical danger of hazardous materials' leakage.

However, if exposed to a fire, added mechanical shocks, decomposed, added electric stress by misuse, the

gas release vent will be operated. The battery cell case will be breached at the extreme. Hazardous materials

may be released.

Moreover, if heated strongly by the surrounding fire, acrid or harmful fume may be emitted.

Human health effects:

Inhalation: The electrolyte inhalation affects the respiratory tract membrane and the lugs. Cadmium fume

may cause a cough, chest pain and dyspnea. Bronchitis and pneumonia will be occurred.

Probably, it is carcinogen.

Skin contact: The electrolyte skin contact affects the skin seriously and may cause dermatitis.

Eye contact: The electrolyte leaked from the battery cell is strong alkali. When it goes into an eye, the

cornea may be affected and it may lead to blindness.

Ingestion: The electrolyte ingestion irritates the mouth and the throat seriously results in vomiting,

nausea, hematemesis, stomach pains and diarrhea.

Environmental effects:

Since a battery cell remains in the environment, do not throw out it into the environment.

Product name: Nickel-Metal Hydride Battery Establishment / Revision: Jan. 13, 2010 In the case of transportation, confirm no leakage and no spillage from a container. Take in a cargo of them without falling, dropping and breakage. Prevent collapse of cargo piles and wet by rain. The container must be handled carefully. Do not give shocks that result in a mark of hitting on a cell. Moreover, take the protection measures not short-circuited. Please refer to Section 7-HANDLING AND STORAGE also. 15.
