Safety Data Sheet
Getting an SDS for Carbophenothion
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 Carbophenothion 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
Carbophenothion precautionary statements
CLP Annex VI assigns 10 precautionary statements to Carbophenothion. 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
Carbophenothion 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.

Carbophenothion health hazards and exposure limits
Carbophenothion hazard summary
May be absorbed through skin; A cholinesterase inhibitor; [ICSC] In an epidemic involving 19 sugar cane workers, the route of exposure appeared to be inhalation or skin absorption (possibly both); Animal feeding studies showed depression of cholinesterase activity but no gross or microscopic pathology; [HSDB] A highly toxic cholinesterase inhibitor (estimated lethal oral dose of 0.6 g for 70 kg person); [CAMEO] Effects in a three-generation feeding study with rats at 20 ppm include reduced pup weight, increase in stillbirths, and fewer pups alive at weaning; Examination of stillborn pups was negative for teratogenicity; Effects in a 2 year feeding study with rats at the highest dose level (80 ppm) include an increase in adrenal weight; No increase in incidence of neoplasm was observed; [INCHEM JMPR] The average of two baseline respective cholinesterase activity determinations three days apart, with no exposures to enzyme inhibiting pesticides for at least 30 days, is recommended for each worker prior to exposure to cholinesterase inhibitors because of large inter-individual differences in published baseline values. To be established at least once a year. Removal from workplace exposures is recommended until the cholinesterase activity returns to within 20% of baseline. [TLVs and BEIs]

Carbophenothion reactivity
CARBOPHENOTHION is a halogenated organophosphate derivative. Organophosphates are susceptible to formation of highly toxic and flammable phosphine gas in the presence of strong reducing agents such as hydrides. Partial oxidation by oxidizing agents may result in the release of toxic phosphorus oxides.

What is the CAS number of Carbophenothion?
The CAS number of Carbophenothion is 786-19-6. Its EC number is 212-324-1.
What does a Carbophenothion label have to show?
Under CLP Annex VI the label for Carbophenothion carries the pictograms Skull and crossbones and Environment and the signal word is Danger.
Is Carbophenothion flammable?

Is Carbophenothion a carcinogen?
CLP Annex VI records no harmonised carcinogenicity classification for Carbophenothion. 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 boiling point of Carbophenothion?
The boiling point reported for Carbophenothion is 82 °C (179.6 °F), at 0.01 mmHg (reduced pressure) (HSDB).
