SCR Catalytic Converter
The SCR catalytic converter is fitted in the silencer and does not
constitute a health hazard during normal use and handling.
When carrying out work on the SCR catalytic converter which
may result in exposure to dust, safety precautions must be
taken. Such work includes, for example, opening the silencer
machining and scrapping the SCR catalytic converter.
Safety precautions when working on the SCR system.
•
Inhalation: If dust is inhaled, the person should be provided
with fresh air immediately. Seek medical attention.
•
Eye contact: Rinse eyes with water immediately. If irritation

Environmental hazards
•
Vanadium pentoxide is toxic to water organisms and can
cause detrimental long term effects to water environment.
Environmental protection measures
•
The SCR catalytic converter is a manufactured article that
contains vanadium pentoxide, a hazardous substance.
Before disposing of, or scrapping, a spent SCR catalytic
converter, it should be tested for any hazardous character-
istics (ignitability, corrosivity, reactivity, acute hazardous-
ness, and toxicity), as those categories are described in 22
CCR § 66261.30. If the spent SCR catalytic converter
exhibits hazardous characteristics and is being disposed
of, it will be considered by the State of California to be a
hazardous waste subject to Title 22, California Code of
Regulations. Before disposing of hazardous waste, review
and follow all pertinent federal and California requirements.
•
Vanadium pentoxide is a listed commercial chemical prod-
uct - P120 - pursuant to 22 CCR § 66261.33(e). According
to the State of California, commercial chemical products
that are discarded or intended to be discarded are hazard-
ous wastes and are subject to all provisions of Title 22,
California Code of Regulations. Before disposing of vana-
dium pentoxide, review and follow all pertinent federal and
California requirements.
WARNING
AVOID DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY
The SCR catalytic converter contains vanadium pentoxide,
a chemical known to the State of California to cause cancer.
