03 · GHS classification
Quinoxyfen hazard classification
Harmonised classification under CLP Annex VI. This is the legally binding classification in the EU; other jurisdictions may differ.
Quinoxyfen pictograms and signal word
Quinoxyfen hazard class and category
| Hazard class | Category | From code | Pictogram |
|---|---|---|---|
| Skin sensitisation GHS chapter 3.4 | Category 1 or 1A or 1B | H317 | GHS07 |
| 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.
Quinoxyfen hazard statements (H-codes)
| Code | Hazard statement |
|---|---|
| H317 | May cause an allergic skin reaction. |
| H400 | Very toxic to aquatic life. |
| H410 | Very toxic to aquatic life with long lasting effects. |
This page lists only the codes assigned to Quinoxyfen. The full reference lives on the hazard statements hub, the precautionary statements hub and the GHS pictograms hub.
Safety Data Sheet
Getting an SDS for Quinoxyfen
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 Quinoxyfen 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
Quinoxyfen precautionary statements
CLP Annex VI assigns 8 precautionary statements to Quinoxyfen. 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
Quinoxyfen 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.

09 · Questions
Quinoxyfen — frequently asked questions
What is the CAS number of Quinoxyfen?
The CAS number of Quinoxyfen is 124495-18-7.
What does a Quinoxyfen label have to show?
Under CLP Annex VI the label for Quinoxyfen carries the pictograms Exclamation mark and Environment and the signal word is Warning.
Is Quinoxyfen flammable?
CLP Annex VI assigns Quinoxyfen 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. The flash point reported for it is 92.78 °C (199 °F), above this value (HSDB).
Is Quinoxyfen a carcinogen?
CLP Annex VI records no harmonised carcinogenicity classification for Quinoxyfen. 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 Quinoxyfen?
The melting point reported for Quinoxyfen is 105.5 °C (221.9 °F), range, midpoint shown (HSDB).
How should Quinoxyfen be stored?
Avoid freezing. Store in original container only. (Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB))
