•
Skin contact
: The chemicals are skin irritant. Rinse immediately with a lot of water
and soap for at least 15 minutes. Wipe immediately away excess material with
waterless hand cleaner. Remove contaminated clothing and wash it thoroughly
before reuse.
•
Eye contact
: The chemicals are eye irritant. Flush immediately with a lot of clear tepid
water for at least 15 minutes.
•
Ingestion
: Exposure to the chemicals may cause tissue damage to throat and
gastro/respiratory tract if swallowed. If ingested, rinse mouth and surrounding area
with tepid water. Dilute by drinking plenty of water. Seek medical advice.
SECTION 5: Firefighting measures
The transponder is designed to withstand damage to the internal battery pack.
Non-flammable material is used. In case of fire, move the battery away from the fire area
if you can do it without compromising your own safety. Extreme mechanical abuse to
the battery may result in a ruptured seal and exposure.
The individual cells in the battery pack contain a flammable liquid electrolyte that may
vent, ignite and produce sparks when subjected to high temperatures (> 150 °C/302 °F),
when damaged or abused. A burning battery can ignite other batteries in close proximity.
Suitable extinguishing media are dry chemical, CO2, water spray or regular foam. Cool
down the battery/transponder with copious amounts of cold water.
The interaction with water or water vapour and exposed lithium hexafluorophosphate
(Li PF6) may result in the generation of hydrogen and hydrogen fluoride (HF) gas.
Contact with battery electrolyte may be irritating to skin, eyes and mucous membranes.
Fire will produce irritating, corrosive and/or toxic gases. Fumes may cause dizziness or
suffocation. Don a self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA).
Note
In case of an external fire, always remove transceiver units and lithium batteries.
SECTION 6: Accidental release measures
During normal operation, accidental release measures are not applicable. Extreme
mechanical abuse to the battery may result in a ruptured seal and exposure.
As an immediate precautionary measure, isolate the spill or leak area at least 25 metres
(75 feet) in all directions. Keep unauthorized personnel away. Stay upwind, and keep out
of low areas. Ventilate closed areas before entering. Wear adequate personal protective
equipment.
