This subsection shall describe appropriate technical measures [I] and storage conditions [I] (suitable [I] to be avoided [A])for safe storage of the chemical product, including separation from incompatible products [I]. It shall in particular contain information in respect of safe packaging materials[I] (recommended [I],not suitable [A]).
8 EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
If appropriate, engineering measures to reduce exposure[ A] should be given in this section. This information should complement that already given under heading 7 above.
Specific control parameters [A] such as limit values [A]or biological standards [A] with their, preferably dated, references should be indicated. Information on the recommended monitoring procedures [A]with their references should be given.
This section shall also contain recommendations on appropriate personal protective equipment [I],such as for:
-respiratory protection [A]; -hand protection [A]; -eye protection [A];
-skin and body protection [A].
The kind of protection should be mentioned, including specific suitable material. Some products only become hazardous when present in large amounts or high concentrations, or at elevated temperature of pressure. If appropriate, special precautions for these cases should be stated here.
If necessary, specific hygiene measures [A] should be indicated. 9 PHYSICAL AND CHEMCAL PROPETIES
This section shall include chemical product information on
appearance,i.e.physical state [S],form [A] and colour[S],and on odour[I].
Where applicable, this section shall state information on: -pH [I],With indication of the concentration;
-specific temperatures/temperature ranges at which changes in physical state occur [I] (e.g. boiling point [A]/boiling range [A]);
-decomposition temperature[A] ; -flash point[I];
-autoignition temperature [A]; -explosion properties [I]; -vapour pressure [A]; -vapour density [A]; -density [I];
-solubility [I],with indication of the solvent(s); -octanol/water partition coefficient [A].
Other data [A] relevant to the safe use of the chemical product, such as radioactivity or bulk density, should be indicated as well.
Units shall be expressed in accordance with the SI system, as in ISO 31-8.Other units may also be given, but only in addition to the SI units.
If appropriate, the method used in the determination of aproperty should be
identified.
10 STABILITY AND REACTIVITY
This section shall state the stability [I] of the chemical product and possible hazardous reactions [I]occurring under specific conditions. This heading shall contain information on:
- conditions to avoid [A]; - materials to avoid [A];
- hazardous decomposition products [I] which may reasonably be expected in addition to the carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) normally formed.
Consideration should be given to intended use and reasonably foreseeable misuse of the product.
11 TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
This section shall contain a concise but complete and comprehensible description of the various toxicological( health) effects of the chemical product which can arise if the user comes into contact with the chemical product, including acute toxicity [I] local effects [I], sensitization [A] and chronic toxicity or long term toxicity [A].
If appropriate, distinction shall be made between effects due to single exposure, repeated exposure and continuous exposure. If appropriate, immediate and delayed effects shall be mentioned separately.
The possible effects should also include, if appropriate, specific effects[A] (e.g.
carcinogenicity, mutagenicity and reproduction toxicity ).Information should be given according to the different exposure routes (e.g. inhalation, skin contact, eye contact, ingestion).
Additional results or data from scientific experiments, with a reference to the source of information, may be given.
12 ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
This section shall contain information [I] on possible environmental effects, behaviour and fate, such as information on:
-mobility [A];
-persistence/degradability [A]; -bioaccumulation [A];
-expected behaviour of the product in the environment/possible -environmental impact/ecotoxocity [A].
Additional results or data from scientific experiments, with a reference to the source of information, may be given.
Any ecological limit value may be indicated here. 13 DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS
This section shall contain appropriate information on recommended methods for safe and environmentally preferred disposal.
These methods of disposal apply not only to the chemical product (waste from residues [I] ) but also to any contaminated packaging [I].
Attention of the recipient should be drawn to the possible existence of local
disposal regulations.
14 TRANSPORT INFORMATION
This section shall contain information on codes and classifications according to international regulations [I] for transport, differentiated by the mode of transport, such as:
-land [A] (railroad/road, such as RID[2]/ADR[3], DOT 49 CFR[4]; -inland waterways [A] (such as ADNR[5] ); -sea [A](IMDG code[6] ); -air [A] (ICAO-TI[7],IATA-DGR[8] );
The UN classification number [A] should be stated. Additional regulations [A] may be mentioned.
Specific precautionary transport measures and conditions [A] should be mentioned.
15 REGULATORY INFORMATION
This section should contain information on regulations [A] specifically applicable to the chemical product.
Hazard and safety information as written on the label [A] should be indicated under this heading.
NOTE 3 This information may be given under standard heading 16. Attention of the recipient should be drawn to the possible existence of local regulations.
