SECTION 7: PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE HANDLING AND USE

Normal precautions should be taken for the collection of broken glass.

Waste Disposal Method: At the end of rated life, when this lamp is removed from service, it will

be subjected to the current Toxic Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP) prescribed by the

Environmental Protection Agency. This test is used to determining whether an item is a

hazardous waste or a non-hazardous waste under current E. P. A. definition. Philips Lighting will

provide the test data on request. This result will allow the generator to evaluate all of the

disposal options, which may be available in the particular state in which the generator’s facility

is located. The generator should check with federal, state and local officials for their guidance. In

most states ALTO lamps are considered non-hazardous subtitle D waste. Philips encourages

recycling of its products by qualified recyclers.

SECTION 8: CONTROL MEASURES

Respiratory Protection: Appropriate dust mask should be used if large quantities of lamps are

being broken for disposal.

Ventilation: Avoid inhalation of any airborne dust. Provide local exhaust when disposing of

large quantities of lamps.

Hand and Eye Protection: Appropriate hand and eye protection should be worn when disposing

of large quantities of lamps or handling broken lamps.

SECTION 9: REGULATORY INFORMATION

packaging are not regulated by air, truck or ocean shipment. As a waste, spent ALTO fluorescent

lamps maybe regulated in various states and local communities. This material safety data sheet

does not constitute “knowledge of the waste”, in certain jurisdictions. TCLP data will be

furnished upon request.
