Trace additives will be present in the plastic components- for example antioxidants are present for stabilisation purposes. There are no other SVHC substances known to be present in the finished articles above 0.1%. There are no current ROHS2 Directive (2011/65/EU) and amendment (2015/863) substances of concern (including Lead, Cadmium, Mercury, Hexavalent Chromium, Polybrominated biphenyl (PBB), Polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE), Bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), Benzyl Butyl Phthalate (BBP), Dibutyl phthalate (DBP) and Diisobutyl phthalate (DIBP)) known to be present in the materials employed in excess of the limits laid down, based on information from our suppliers and knowledge of substances used within Pall the manufacturing facility. Pall filters do not employ natural rubber latex, or latex derivatives in their construction. These products (see appendix 1) do contain animal materials (i.e. animal parts, tissues, or body fluids). However, to assist our customers in performing a TSE/BSE risk assessment, we are pleased to provide the following information: Pall filters for healthcare and laboratory applications may utilise components which are fabricated from plastic resins containing animal-derived additives at trace levels such as tallow-derived substances. Please be advised that tallow-derived additives are not considered specified BSE risk materials according to the current revision of the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21 of part 189.5. Furthermore, the CPMP's Note for guidance on minimising the risk of transmitting animal spongiform encephalopathies via human and veterinary medicinal products (EMA410/01 rev 3) gives specific consideration to tallow derivatives and state they are unlikely to be infectious due to the rigorous processing steps used during their manufacture (an example of which is transesterification, or hydrolysis, at not less than 200°C under pressure for not less than 20 minutes). This product can expose you to BPA, Styrene, Ethylbenzene, and Cumene/isopropylbenzene which are known in the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. For more information go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov These products placed on the market in the State of California by Pall are not intended for ‘consumer’ sale, but, are for professional or industrial use. Therefore, the only anticipated exposure to these items would be through ‘occupational exposure’ which does not require mandatory labelling of all articles. In line with the ‘Questions and Answers for business’ (dated August 2017) on the labelling requirements – Q41 - this SDS convey this warning for occupational exposure. ______________________________________________________________________________________
