Chemical Composition/Ingredients
The GHS is an acronym for The Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals. The GHS is a system for standardizing and harmonizing the classification and labelling of chemicals. Chemicals are associated with codes that define their health, physical and environmental hazards.This universal hazard communication system was developed to ensure that employers, employees and consumers are provided with adequate, practical, reliable and comprehensible information on the hazards of chemicals, so that they can take effective preventive and protective measure for their own health and safety.

Primary Chemical Name is the standard name assigned to a chemical substance.
ChemicalChemical Abstracts Service Registry Number is a unique identifier for a chemical and its synonyms. CAS numbers identify the chemical, but not its concentration or specific mixture. CAS Registry Numbers are assigned by the Chemical Abstracts Service, a division of the American Chemical Society. For more information: www.cas.org
CAS No./ID
We have assigned "ID numbers" (with 6 leading zeros or nines, e.g., 000000-xx-x , 888888-xx-x) or 999999-xx-x) for blends and chemicals that do not have CAS numbers.Is a seven-digit number (xxx-xxx-x) assigned by the European Commission to chemicals contained in three inventories:

Hazard Codes and their associated descriptions are an essential part of the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS). There are 4 categories of Hazard Codes:
- Physical Hazard Codes (H200 series)
- Health Hazard Codes (H300 series)
- Environmental Hazard Codes (H400 series)
- Supplementary Hazard Codes (EUH series)
Hazard Codes may be found in the "Advanced" version of Chemical Composition / Ingredients tables.
Hazard Statement CodePrecautionary Codes and their associated descriptions are an essential part of the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS).
Precautionary Code
Precautionary Codes may be found in the "Advanced" version of Chemical Composition / Ingredients tables.PictogramSVHC is a substance (identified by the European Chemicals Agency) that may have serious and often irreversible effects on human health and the environment. SVHC are defined in Article 57 of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (“the REACH Regulation”) and include substances which are:
SVHC?
1. Carcinogenic, Mutagenic or toxic to Reproduction (CMR), meeting the criteria for classification in category 1 or 2 in accordance with Directive 67/548/EEC or in category 1a or 1b in accordance with EC No 1272/2008This directive was recently replaced by the new EU regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.
2. Persistent, Bioaccumulative and Toxic (PBT) or very Persistent and very Bioaccumulative (vPvB) according to the criteria in Annex XIII of the REACH Regulation, or
3. Identified, on a case-by-case basis, from scientific evidence as causing probable serious effects to human health or the environment of an equivalent level of concern as those above (e.g. endocrine disrupters).Potassium hydroxide 001310-58-3 215-181-3 1.0-5.0 H290, H302, H314 P280, P260, P305+P351+P338, P303+P361+P353, P310 No Sodium hydroxide 001310-73-2 215-185-5 1.0-5.0 H290, H314, H315, H319 P260, P280, P303+P361+P353, P305+P351+P338, P310 No Manganese 007439-96-5 231-105-1 1.0-5.0 -------- ------- ---- No Nickel 007440-02-0 231-111-4 55-70 H351, H372, H317, H412 ------- No Cobalt 007440-48-4 231-158-0 5.0-10.0 H334, H317, H413 P261, P272, P273, P280, P363, P285, P321, P501, P302+P352, P304+P341, P333+P313, P342+P311 No Aluminum 007429-90-5 271-072-3 1.0-5.0 H228, H261, ------- No Click on each chemical for information on chemical structure, properties and health effects.

Warnings
Store at room temperature. Avoid mechanical or electrical abuse. DO NOT short or install incorrectly. Batteries may explode, pyrolize or vent if disassembled, crushed or exposed to high temperatures. Install batteries in accordance with equipment instructions. Replace all batteries in equipment at the same time. Do not carry batteries loose in pocket or bag. -
Acute health effects
From MSDS:
Routes/Effects of Exposure
These chemicals and metals are contained in a sealed can. For consumer use, adequate hazard warnings are included on both the package and on the battery. Potential for exposure should not exist unless the battery leaks, is exposed to high temperatures or is mechanically, physically, or electrically abused. Contains concentrated (~35%) potassium and sodium hydroxides, which is caustic. Anticipated potential leakage of potassium and sodium hydroxides is 1-2 gms.
1. Inhalation: Not anticipated. Respiratory (and eye) irritation may occur if fumes are released due to heat or on abundance of leaking batteries.
2. Ingestion: Irritation, including caustic burns to the internal/external mouth areas, may occur.
3. Skin
a. Contact: Irritation, including caustic burns/injury, may occur.
b. Absorption: Not anticipated.
4. Eye Contact: Irritation, including caustic burns/injury, may occur. -
Chronic health effects

Install batteries in accordance with equipment instructions. Replace all batteries in equipment at the same time. Do not carry batteries loose in pocket or bag. -
Disposal information
The Duracell Rechargeable Recycling Program should be utilized to recycle the battery packs. See battery pack or instructions for a phone number to access the recycling program. Discharged batteries may be disposed of with normal household trash. -
First Aid
Eyes: Not anticipated. If battery is leaking and material contacts eyes, flush with copious amounts of clear, tepid water for 30 minutes. Contact physician at once.
Skin: Not anticipated. If battery is leaking, irrigate exposed skin with copious amounts of clear, tepid water for at least 15 minutes. If irritation, injury or pain persists, consult a physician.
Inhalation: Not anticipated. If battery is leaking, contents may be irritating to respiratory passages. Remove to fresh air. Contact physician if irritation persists.
Ingestion: Not anticipated. Rinse the mouth and surrounding area with clear, tepid water for at least 15 minutes. Consult a physician immediately for treatment and to rule out involvement of the esophagus and other tissues.
Notes to Physician
1) The acutely toxic ingredients are concentrated (35%) potassium and sodium hydroxides and nickel.
2) Chronic exposure to nickel has been reported to be carcinogenic and disposal processes resulting in nickel exposure may be hazardous.
3) Anticipated potential leakage of potassium and sodium hydroxides is 1-2 grams.
4) If the cell is abusively opened the electrodes may react with air and ignite.
