REGULATION (EC) No 1272/2008 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL of 16 December 2008 on classification, labeling and packaging

of substances and mixtures, amending and repealing Directives 67/548/EEC and 1999/45/EC, and amending Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 Otherwise known as the CLP Regulation or the EU GHS

Transition periods: Substance reclassification: deadline 1 Dec 2010 Mixture reclassification: deadline 1 June 2015 Substances: SDS MAY contain BOTH classifications from 20 Jan 2009 to 1 Dec 2010 SDS MUST contain BOTH classifications as soon as the label shows CLP classification SDS MUST contain BOTH classifications from 1 Dec 2010 through 1 June 2015 Labeling and packaging of NEW substances is CLP compliant from 1 Dec 2010 Labeling and packaging of substances on the market as of 1 Dec 2010 is CLP compliant from 1 Dec 2012 SDS is strictly CLP compliant from 1 June 2015

Mixtures: SDS MAY contain BOTH classifications from 20 Jan 2009 to 1 June 2015 SDS MUST contain BOTH classifications as soon as the label shows CLP classification SDS MUST contain CLP classification from 1 June 2015. Labeling and packaging of NEW mixtures is CLP compliant from 1 June 2015 Labeling and packaging of mixtures on the market as of 1 June 2015 is CLP compliant from 1 June 2017 SDS and labeling are strictly CLP compliant from 1 June 2015

Stricter classification requirements of Member States may be maintained until 1 Dec 2011 Note: translation tables may be applied only to substances on the market before 1 Dec 2010 and mixtures on the market before 1 June 2015

Significant deviations from GHS Purple Book Building Blocks: 2.6 Flammable Liquids EU classification of categories 1-3 are identical to Purple Book, but the EU has not adopted category 4 (H227). In effect, this means under EU CLP Flammable liquid has a fp <60C, while the GHS Purple book classifies flammable liquid up to <93C. 3.1 Acute Toxicity EU CLP does NOT adopt category 5 (H303, H313, H333). Classification requirements identical to Purple Book for Cat. 1 4. In addition to classification for inhalation toxicity, if data are available that indicates that the mechanism of toxicity is corrosivity, the substance or mixture shall also be labelled as EUH071: corrosive to the respiratory tract see advice at 3.1.2.3.3. In addition to an appropriate acute toxicity pictogram, a corrosivity pictogram.

3.2 Skin corrosion/Irritation EU CLP does NOT adopt category 3 (H316). Classification requirements identical to Purple Book for Cat. 1a-c and Cat. 2. 3.3 Serious eye damage/Eye irritation EU CLP does NOT adopt category 2B (H320). Classification requirements identical to Purple Book for Cat. 1 and Cat. 2A. 3.7 Reproductive Toxicity Via Annex VI, 1.1.2.1.2, the EUCLP establishes special hazard statements in which the threedigit H-code is modified by the addition of a D or d for developmental effects and/or F or f for fertility effects. 3.8 Specific Target Organ Toxicity Single Exposure Classification requirements identical to Purple Book Guidelines for gas exposure cat.2 go to 20,000ppm in CLP but only 5000ppm in GHS 3.10 Aspiration Hazard EU CLP does NOT adopt category 2 (H305). Classification requirements identical to Purple Book for Cat. 1. 4.1 Aquatic Toxicity EU CLP does NOT adopt acute categories 2 (H401)-3 (H402). Classification requirements identical to Purple Book for acute Cat. 1. Classification requirements functionally equivalent to Purple Book for Chronic categories 1-4 (EU emphasizes available BCF data over Kow) 5.1 Hazardous to the ozone layer ADDITIONAL EU HAZARD CLASS Implements the existing EU R59 into CLP Annex II, part 1 and part 4: EU specific Hazard statements EU H statement EUH029 Contact with water liberates toxic gas When to use Evolves acute tox cat 1-3 gases in contact with water or damp air [e.g. aluminium phosphide, phosphorous pentasulphide] Contact with acids liberates acute toxic cat 3 gas [e.g. sodium hypochlorite, barium polysulphide] Contact with acids liberates acute toxic cat 1-2 gas [e.g. salts of hydrogen cyanide, sodium azide] Repeated exposure may cause skin dryness or cracking, but not classified irritant Toxicity during eye irritation test attributed to absorption through eye, not through mucous membranes Inhlalation tox test mortality due to corrosion OR classified corrosive to skin and likely to be inhaled Explosive when dry Unstable at ambient temperatures Reacts violently with water [e.g. acetyl chloride, alkali metals, titanium tetrachloride]

EUH031 Contact with acids liberates toxic gas EUH032 Contact with acids liberates very toxic gas EUH066 Repeated exposure may cause skin dryness or cracking EUH070 Toxic by eye contact

EUH071 Corrosive to the respiratory tract EUH001-Explosive when dry EUH0006-Explosive with or without contact with air EUH014-Reacts violenty with water

EUH018-In use, may form flammable/explosive vapour-air mixture EUH019-May form explosive peroxides EUH044-Risk of explosion if heated under confinement EUH401-To avoid risks to human health and the environment, comply with the instructions for use

Form flammable vapors May form explosive peroxides [e.g. diethyl ether, 1,4-dioxane] Decompose explosively if heated in steel drum but not in less-strong containers Product use is plant protection product (subject to 91/414/EEC)
