HEALTH EFFECTS
Consumer: no human health hazard was identified
Workers: according to the present knowledge provided the substance is handled properly, there is no
identified risk to humans. The usual precautions, occupational exposure limits for inert dusts, industrial
hygiene and occupational safety measures for handling chemicals have to be observed.
In case of unintended exposure during maintenance, sampling, testing, or other procedures workers should
follow the recommended safety and first-aid-measures in the safety data sheet.

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.

RISK MANAGEMENT RECOMMENDATIONS


In case of EC 202-182-9 < 1% the substance has not to be classified as dangerous according to regulation (EC)
no 1272/2008 (CLP-Regulation)
Always apply technical measures and use personal protective equipment as recommended in the safety data
sheet to minimize exposure. Observe the usual industrial hygiene measures. Remove soiled or soaked clothing
immediately. Wash hands before break and after work.
