Safety Data Sheet
Getting an SDS for Famoxadone
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 Famoxadone 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
Famoxadone precautionary statements
CLP Annex VI assigns 6 precautionary statements to Famoxadone. 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
Famoxadone 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.

Famoxadone health hazards and exposure limits
Famoxadone hazard summary
Causes mild hemolytic anemia and hepatotoxicity in subchronic feeding studies; Dogs had myotonic twitches and cataracts in a 90-day feeding study; Not likely to be carcinogenic in humans; [Reference #1]

Famoxadone carcinogenicity classification
Cancer Classification: Not Likely to be Carcinogenic to Humans

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.

What is the CAS number of Famoxadone?
The CAS number of Famoxadone is 131807-57-3.
What does a Famoxadone label have to show?

Is Famoxadone a carcinogen?
CLP Annex VI records no harmonised carcinogenicity classification for Famoxadone. 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 Famoxadone?
The melting point reported for Famoxadone is 141.05 °C (285.9 °F), range, midpoint shown (HSDB).
