The regulatory information given above is as compliant with the Chemical Labelling and Packaging regulations, in the format of the Globally Harmonized System, as can be achieved with the available information. The whole Safety Data Sheet is based upon the classification of the principal hazardous component, azamethiphos. A minor constituent is also hazardous and is present in the product at a concentration above the level of concern (1%) for classification under GHS.

The user's attention is drawn to imminent provisions arising from the EU REACH Regulations which may result in re-classification of the health and environmental hazards of all the constituent chemicals in this product. An Extended Safety Data Sheet will be published on completion of the REACH registration process. This document is to be used in the interim period.
