Chinomethionat hazard class and category

Hazard class Category From code Pictogram
Acute toxicity - oral GHS chapter 3.1 Category 4 H302 GHS07
Acute toxicity - dermal GHS chapter 3.1 Category 4 H312 GHS07
Acute toxicity - inhalation GHS chapter 3.1 Category 4 H332 GHS07

Hazardous to the aquatic environment - chronic GHS chapter 4.1 Category 1 H410 GHS09

Where two values are shown with “or”, the hazard statement is shared by more than one category or by more than one class, and the code alone does not say which. H272, for example, belongs to oxidising liquids and to oxidising solids — the physical state decides. The binding answer for a specific entry is in the CLP Annex VI table itself.

Safety Data Sheet

Getting an SDS for Chinomethionat

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 Chinomethionat 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

Chinomethionat precautionary statements

CLP Annex VI assigns 22 precautionary statements to Chinomethionat. 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.

Disposal

05 · Names in the regulation

Chinomethionat 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.

Chinomethionat carcinogenicity classification

Cancer Classification: Group B2 Probable Human Carcinogen

An IARC group and a CLP classification answer different questions. IARC judges whether the evidence for cancer in humans is strong enough; CLP Annex VI is the legally binding EU classification. A substance can carry one and not the other.

10 · Questions

Chinomethionat — frequently asked questions

What is the CAS number of Chinomethionat?

The CAS number of Chinomethionat is 2439-01-2. Its EC number is 219-455-3.

What does a Chinomethionat label have to show?

Under CLP Annex VI the label for Chinomethionat carries the pictograms Health hazard, Exclamation mark and Environment and the signal word is Warning.

Is Chinomethionat flammable?

CLP Annex VI assigns Chinomethionat 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 Chinomethionat a carcinogen?

CLP Annex VI records no harmonised carcinogenicity classification for Chinomethionat. 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 Chinomethionat?

The melting point reported for Chinomethionat is 171 °C (339.8 °F) (HSDB).
