First Aid Measures

Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents

Inhalation

Cover the victim in a blanket, move to the place of fresh air and keep quiet. Seek medical attention immediately. When dyspnea (breathing difficulty) or asphyxia (breath-hold), give artificial respiration immediately.

Symptoms: dyspnea (breathing difficulty) or asphyxia (breath-hold)

Skin contact

Remove contaminated clothes and shoes immediately. Wash the adherence or contact region with soap and plenty of water. Seek medical attention immediately.

Eye contact

Immediately flush eyes with water continuously for at least 15 minutes. Seek medical attention immediately.

Ingestion

Do not induce vomiting. Seek medical attention immediately.

Immediate Medical Attention

Seek medical attention immediately for any exposure. Immediate medical attention is required for dyspnea (breathing difficulty) or asphyxia (breath-hold).

05

Firefighting Measures

Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection

Suitable media

Dry sand, chemical powder fire extinguishing medium.

Specific hazards

Acrid or harmful fume is emitted during fire.

Instructions

Although a battery cell is not flammability, in case of fire, move it to the safe place quickly. The following measures are taken when it cannot be moved.

Firefighter Protection

Protective equipment written in Section 8.

06

Accidental Release Measures

Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection

Emergency procedures

Forbid unauthorized person to enter. Remove leaked materials with protective equipment written in Section 8. Do not throw out into the environment. Dilute the leaked electrolyte with water and neutralize with diluted sulfuric acid. The leaked solid is moved to a container. The leaked place is fully flushed with water.

Environmental

Do not throw out into the environment.

Cleanup methods

Dilute the leaked electrolyte with water and neutralize with diluted sulfuric acid. The leaked place is fully flushed with water.

Materials: water, diluted sulfuric acid

Handling and Storage

Safe handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace requirements

Handling

Do not damage or remove the external tube. Never throw out cells in a fire or expose to high temperatures. Do not soak cells in water and seawater. Do not expose to strong oxidizers. Do not give a strong mechanical shock or throw down. Never disassemble, modify or deform. Do not connect the positive terminal to the negative terminal with electrically conductive material. In the case of charging, use only dedicated charger or charge according to the conditions specified by FDK.

Storage

Avoid direct sunlight, high temperature, high humidity. Store in cool place (temperature: -20 ~ 30 degree C, humidity: from 40 to 80%).

Fire prevention

Never throw out cells in a fire or expose to high temperatures.

08

Exposure Controls / PPE

Stability and Reactivity

Chemical stability, hazardous reactions, and incompatible materials

Stability

Stable under normal use

Reactivity

By misuse of a battery cell or the like, oxygen or hydrogen accumulates in the cell and the internal pressure rises. These gases may be emitted through the gas release vent. When fire is near, these gases may take fire. When a battery cell is heated strongly by the surrounding fire, acrid or harmful fume may be emitted.

Hazardous reactions

By misuse of a battery cell or the like, oxygen or hydrogen accumulates in the cell and the internal pressure rises. These gases may be emitted through the gas release vent. When fire is near, these gases may take fire. When a battery cell is heated strongly by the surrounding fire, acrid or harmful fume may be emitted.

Avoid

Direct sunlight, high temperature and high humidity

Incompatible

Conductive materials, water, seawater, strong oxidizers and strong acids

Decomposition

Acrid or harmful fume is emitted during fire.

IMDG

Prior to transportation, confirmation that there is no leakage and no spillage from a container is necessary. Cargo must be handle without falling, dropping or breakage. Care must be taken to prevent the collapse of cargo piles or saturation by rain. Containers must be handled carefully. Packaging is constructed to prevent short-circuiting and/or electric shock.
