Harmonised classification under CLP Annex VI. This is the legally binding classification in the EU; other jurisdictions may differ.
Cyfluthrin pictograms and signal word
Cyfluthrin hazard class and category
| Hazard class | Category | From code | Pictogram |
|---|---|---|---|
| Acute toxicity - oral GHS chapter 3.1 | Category 1 or 2 | H300 | GHS06 |
| Acute toxicity - inhalation GHS chapter 3.1 | Category 1 or 2 | H330 | GHS06 |
| Reproductive toxicity GHS chapter 3.7 | Category Lactation | H362 | — |
| Specific target organ toxicity - single exposure GHS chapter 3.8 | Category 1 | H370 | GHS08 |
| Hazardous to the aquatic environment - acute GHS chapter 4.1 | Category 1 | H400 | GHS09 |
| 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.
Cyfluthrin hazard statements (H-codes)
| Code | Hazard statement |

| H362 | May cause harm to breast-fed children. |
| H330 | Fatal if inhaled. |
| H300 | Fatal if swallowed. |
| H370 | Causes damage to organs <or state all organs affected, if known> <state route of exposure if it is conclusively proven that no other routes of exposure cause the hazard>. |
| H400 | Very toxic to aquatic life. |
| H410 | Very toxic to aquatic life with long lasting effects. |

Safety Data Sheet
Getting an SDS for Cyfluthrin
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 Cyfluthrin 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
Cyfluthrin precautionary statements
CLP Annex VI assigns 12 precautionary statements to Cyfluthrin. 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
Cyfluthrin 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.

Cyfluthrin hazard summary
A skin, eye, and mucous membrane irritant; In human experiments, the threshold for upper respiratory tract irritation was 0.1 mg/m3; Common symptoms after overexposure in the workplace are stinging sensations of the skin and mucous membranes that begin 1-2 hours after contact and last for 1-2 days; Such symptoms are thought to be due to local action on sensitive nerves; [HSDB] Toxic by inhalation and ingestion; [eChemPortal: ESIS] A skin and eye irritant; [MSDSonline]

Cyfluthrin carcinogenicity classification
Cancer Classification: Not Likely to be Carcinogenic to Humans
Source: Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB)
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.

Cyfluthrin storage conditions
PESTICIDE STORAGE: Store in a cool, dry place and away from open flame and extreme heat. Store in such a manner as to prevent cross contamination with other pesticides, fertilizers, food, and feed. Store in original container and out of the reach of children, preferably in locked storage area. Handle and open container in a manner as to prevent spillage. If container is leaking, invert container to prevent leakage. If the container is leaking or material spilled for any reason or cause, carefully dam up spilled material to prevent runoff.

11 · Questions
Cyfluthrin — frequently asked questions
What is the CAS number of Cyfluthrin?
The CAS number of Cyfluthrin is 68359-37-5. Its EC number is 269-855-7.
What is the chemical formula of Cyfluthrin?
The molecular formula of Cyfluthrin is C22H18Cl2FNO3 and its molecular weight is 434.3 g/mol.
What does a Cyfluthrin label have to show?
Under CLP Annex VI the label for Cyfluthrin carries the pictograms Skull and crossbones, Health hazard and Environment and the signal word is Danger.
Is Cyfluthrin flammable?
CLP Annex VI assigns Cyfluthrin 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 Cyfluthrin a carcinogen?
CLP Annex VI records no harmonised carcinogenicity classification for Cyfluthrin. 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 Cyfluthrin?
The melting point reported for Cyfluthrin is 60 °C (140 °F) (HSDB).
How should Cyfluthrin be stored?
PESTICIDE STORAGE: Store in a cool, dry place and away from open flame and extreme heat. Store in such a manner as to prevent cross contamination with other pesticides, fertilizers, food, and feed. Store in original container and out of the reach of children, preferably in locked storage area. Handle and open container in a manner as to prevent spillage.
