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

What does a Clothianidin label have to show?
Under CLP Annex VI the label for Clothianidin carries the pictograms Health hazard, Exclamation mark and Environment and the signal word is Danger.
Is Clothianidin flammable?

Is Clothianidin a carcinogen?
CLP Annex VI records no harmonised carcinogenicity classification for Clothianidin. 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 Clothianidin?
The melting point reported for Clothianidin is 176.8 °C (350.2 °F) (HSDB).
How should Clothianidin be stored?
Keep container tightly closed in a dry and well-ventilated place. Storage class (TRGS 510): 13: Non Combustible Solids. (Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB))
