Section 8: Exposure controls/personal protection occupational exposure limits (including biological limit values) set for the substance or any of its ingredients, or in their absence, relevant overseas exposure limits; and engineering controls; and identification of the specific types of personal protective equipment needed to minimise the potential for illness or injury due to exposure to the substance, based on the hazards of the substance and the potential for contact. 15 Section 9: Physical and chemical properties a description of the following physical and chemical properties of the substance, including units of measurement and reference conditions where appropriate (if relevant for the interpretation of data reported, the method of determination should also be provided): appearance (physical state, colour, etc.): odour: odour threshold: pH: melting point/freezing point: initial boiling point and boiling range: flash point: flammability (solid, gas): upper/lower flammability or explosive limits: vapour pressure: vapour density: relative density: solubility (ies): partition coefficient: n-octanol/water: auto-ignition temperature: decomposition temperature: kinematic viscosity: particle characteristics. if specific properties do not apply, the property must still be listed on the safety data sheet with a statement that the property does not apply. Section 10: Stability and reactivity an indication of the chemical reactivity and chemical stability of the substance under normal and anticipated storage and handling conditions; and a list of conditions to avoid or prevent a hazardous situation; and information on incompatible substances or materials; and information on hazardous decomposition products. 16 Section 11: Toxicological information Toxicological information should be provided for the following hazard classes: acute toxicity: skin corrosion/irritation: serious eye damage/eye irritation: respiratory or skin sensitisation: germ cell mutagenicity: carcinogenicity: reproductive toxicity: specific target organ toxicity – single exposure: specific target organ toxicity – repeated exposure: aspiration hazard. If information for any of the hazardous properties related to these hazard classes is not available, the hazardous property must still be listed on the safety data sheet with a statement that the information is not available. If information is available that demonstrates that the substance is not classified for the hazardous property, this should be stated. The toxicological information that must be provided is: a full description of the toxicological (health) effects, including the symptoms or signs of injury or ill health associated with each likely route of exposure, including delayed and immediate effects and also chronic effects from short and long-term exposure; and the dose, concentration or conditions of exposure likely to cause injury or ill health; and a summary of the data used to identify the health effects. Section 12: Ecological information The basic properties for which data must be provided are: ecotoxicity (aquatic and terrestrial); and persistence and degradability; and the potential to be bioaccumulative; and mobility in soil; and 17 other adverse effects. If data for any of these properties are not available, the property must still be listed on the safety data sheet with a statement that data are not available. If data are available that demonstrates that the substance is not classified for that property, this should be stated. Information on bioaccumulation, persistence and degradability must be given, where available and appropriate, for each relevant component in the mixture. Section 13: Disposal considerations appropriate and achievable disposal methods, including disposal of packaging, that are consistent with the Hazardous Substances (Disposal) Notice 2017 and the Act; and special precautions to be taken during disposal; and any method of disposal that should not be used.

Part B: Concentration cut-offs for ingredients in mixtures for purpose of section 3 Table: Concentration cut-off levels requiring disclosure of ingredients in mixtures Column 1 Column 2 Hazard class or hazard Concentration cut-off level ≥% classification of ingredient The value is the concentration that triggers the hazard classification acute toxicity independently of any other ingredient. 1.0 skin corrosion Category 1A, 1B, 1C Below 5% the substance would be classified as skin irritation Category 2 and so the ingredient requires identification skin irritation Category 2 10 1.0 serious eye damage Category 1 Below 3% the substance would be classified as eye irritation Category 2 and so the ingredient requires identification. eye irritation Category 2 10 0.1 respiratory sensitisation Category 1 Where a sensitiser elicits a response at levels below this cut-off concentration, the cut-off value is the level at which a response is elicited. 0.1 skin sensitisation Category 1 Where a sensitiser elicits a response at levels below this cut-off concentration, the cut-off value is the level at which a response is elicited. germ cell mutagenicity Category 1 0.1 germ cell mutagenicity Category 2 1.0 19 Column 1 Column 2 Hazard class or hazard Concentration cut-off level ≥% classification of ingredient carcinogenicity Category 1 0.1 carcinogenicity Category 2 0.1 reproductive toxicity Category 1 0.1 reproductive toxicity Category 2 0.1 effects on or via lactation 0.1 specific target organ toxicity – single 1.0 exposure Category 1 and Category 2 The value is the concentration of the ingredient at, or above which, in the specific target organ toxicity – single opinion of an expert, there is data indicating evidence that the mixture exposure Category 3 causes narcotic effects or respiratory tract irritation in humans. The GHS default value is 20%. specific target organ toxicity – 1.0 repeated exposure Category 1 and Category 2 10 The mixture must meet the viscosity criteria for classification as aspiration hazard Category 1. The identification requirement also applies aspiration hazard Category 1 if the mixture separates into two or more layers, one of which contains ≥10% of ingredients classified as aspiration hazard Category 1, and it meets the viscosity criteria for classification as aspiration hazard Category 1. 0.1 hazardous to the aquatic environment acute Category 1 The value is the concentration that triggers the hazard classification independently of any other ingredient. 0.1 hazardous to the aquatic environment chronic Category 1 The value is the concentration that triggers the hazard classification independently of any other ingredient. 20 Column 1 Column 2 Hazard class or hazard Concentration cut-off level ≥% classification of ingredient hazardous to the aquatic environment 1.0 chronic Category 2, Category 3, The value is the concentration that triggers the hazard classification Category 4 independently of any other ingredient. 21
