Safety Data Sheet
Getting an SDS for Aminocarb
A Safety Data Sheet is written for a product, not for a substance: the supplier of the grade you actually buy issues it, so two suppliers of Aminocarb issue two different sheets. That is why there is no single authoritative SDS for a substance to download — what there is, is the job of collecting the sheets for the products you hold and keeping them current as suppliers revise them.
04 · Precautionary statements
Aminocarb precautionary statements
CLP Annex VI assigns 10 precautionary statements to Aminocarb. They are grouped the way a label groups them: what to do before handling, what to do when something has already happened, how to store it and how to dispose of it.
Prevention
What to do before and during handling so the hazard never happens.
Response
What to do once exposure, spillage or fire has already happened.
Disposal
What has to happen to the contents and the empty container.

05 · Names in the regulation
Aminocarb name in 23 EU languages
CLP Annex VI Part 3 is published in every language edition of the regulation, and the identification column is written out in each of them. Nothing below is translated by us: each line is the name as that edition prints it. Under Art. 18(2) the substance name from Annex VI is a lawful product identifier, so this is the wording to put on a label going to that market — and where the cell lists several designations, any one of them qualifies.

One or more lines above are flagged. In those language editions the Regulation as published in the Official Journal prints something that the rest of the same row contradicts — a name belonging to a different entry, or the qualifier of a paired entry. Each flag cites the amending act and the Official Journal page, so the wording can be checked at source. The lines are reproduced as printed, because Art. 18(2) points at Annex VI and not at our reading of it; the note beside each one says what the row’s own EC and CAS numbers identify.
All 23 language editions of Annex VI carry this entry. Irish is the twenty-fourth official EU language and has no line here for a different reason: no consolidated CLP text has ever been published in Irish, so there is no Irish edition of Annex VI to quote a name from.

10 · Questions
Aminocarb — frequently asked questions
What is the CAS number of Aminocarb?
The CAS number of Aminocarb is 2032-59-9. Its EC number is 217-990-7.
What is the chemical formula of Aminocarb?
The molecular formula of Aminocarb is C11H16N2O2 and its molecular weight is 208.26 g/mol.
What does a Aminocarb label have to show?
Under CLP Annex VI the label for Aminocarb carries the pictograms Skull and crossbones and Environment and the signal word is Danger.
Is Aminocarb flammable?
CLP Annex VI assigns Aminocarb no flammability hazard class. That is not a statement that it cannot burn: the harmonised list only records the hazards that were assessed for it.
Is Aminocarb a carcinogen?
CLP Annex VI records no harmonised carcinogenicity classification for Aminocarb. Annex VI is a list of agreed classifications, not a list of substances found safe, so this is an absence of a classification rather than a clean bill of health.
What is the melting point of Aminocarb?
The melting point reported for Aminocarb is 93 °C (199.4 °F) (ICSC).
