Safety Data Sheet
Getting an SDS for Dibutyltin diacetate
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 Dibutyltin diacetate 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
Dibutyltin diacetate precautionary statements
CLP Annex VI assigns 7 precautionary statements to Dibutyltin diacetate. 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.

05 · Names in the regulation
Dibutyltin diacetate 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.

07 · Health hazards
Dibutyltin diacetate health hazards and exposure limits
Dibutyltin diacetate carcinogenicity classification
Under the conditions of this bioassay, there was no conclusive evidence for the carcinogenicity of dibutyltin diacetate in male Fischer 344 rats or B6C3F1 mice of either sex. The loss of tissues taken from high dose female rats in this bioassay precluded an evaluation of the carcinogenicity of dibutyltin diacetate to female Fischer 344 rats.

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.
Dibutyltin diacetate occupational exposure limits
| Limit | Value | Source |

| PEL | 0.1 [mg/m3], as Sn | Haz-Map, Information on Hazardous Chemicals and Occupational Diseases |
