GPS Product Safety Summary
EXPOSURE
Human Health : Exposure of personnel in manufacturing facilities is considered low. Manufacturing process,
storage and handling operations are under industrial hygiene considerations and occupational safety
measures. Workers who might accidentally come in contact with the substance should follow the safety and
first-aid measures recommend in the safety data sheet.
As in case of EC 202-182-9 < 1% the substance is not to be classified as dangerous according to regulation (EC)
no 1272/2008 (CLP-Regulation) no human exposure assessment and risk characterisation has to be performed.
Environment: As in case of EC 202-182-9 < 1% the substance has neither to be classified as dangerous
according to regulation (EC) no 1272/2008 (CLP-Regulation) nor is assessed to be PBT or vPvB substance, no
environmental exposure assessment and risk characterisation has to be performed.
