Safety Data Sheet
Getting an SDS for Cadmium iodide
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 Cadmium iodide 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
Cadmium iodide precautionary statements
CLP Annex VI assigns 15 precautionary statements to Cadmium iodide. 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
Cadmium iodide 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.

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.

08 · Questions
Cadmium iodide — frequently asked questions
What is the CAS number of Cadmium iodide?
The CAS number of Cadmium iodide is 7790-80-9. Its EC number is 232-223-6.
What is the chemical formula of Cadmium iodide?
The molecular formula of Cadmium iodide is CdI2 and its molecular weight is 366.22 g/mol.
What does a Cadmium iodide label have to show?
Under CLP Annex VI the label for Cadmium iodide carries the pictograms Skull and crossbones, Health hazard and Environment and the signal word is Danger.
Is Cadmium iodide flammable?
CLP Annex VI assigns Cadmium iodide 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 Cadmium iodide a carcinogen?
CLP Annex VI assigns Cadmium iodide H351 — suspected of causing cancer. That is category 2: the evidence points that way but is not conclusive.
What is the exposure limit for Cadmium iodide?
The US occupational exposure limit reported for Cadmium iodide is 0.005 [mg/m3], as Cd, see 29 CFR 1910.1027 (Haz-Map, Information on Hazardous Chemicals and Occupational Diseases). Limits differ by country: the EU sets its own indicative and binding values, and the figure that applies at a given workplace is the one in the local regulation.
