Conditions of use
| Code | Text | Crop | Buffer zone |
|---|---|---|---|
| NW467 | The product and its remains, empty containers and packaging and rinsing fluids must not be dumped in water. This also applies to indirect entry via the urban or agrarian drainage system and to rain-water and sewage canals. | – | – |
| NT871 | Before starting the application, it needs to be checked that no wild animals are in the area to be fumigated. When there are indications that the building is being utilised for breeding by birds or protected species of mammals, the fumigation process must not be undertaken, unless there are risk mitigation measures in place to prevent exposure. | – | – |
Restrictions
| Code | Text | Crop | Buffer zone |
|---|---|---|---|
| SF5053 | Phosphane develops in the air or in combination with moisture; it is an odourless gas which is very toxic for humans and animals, it is corrosive and is both highly flammable and self-igniting when exposed to air. Occasionally there is a garlic-, fish- or carbide-like smell caused by impurities. This smell alone is not a reliable indication of phosphane since it can easily be adsorbed by soil and other materials and is often not apparent until health limits have been exceeded. | – | – |
| EO004 | SPo 4: The container must be opend outdoors and in dry conditions. | – | – |
| NW261 | The product is toxic for fish. | – | – |
| NW262 | The product is toxic for algae. | – | – |
| SB001 | Avoid any unnecessary contact with the product. Misuse can lead to health damage. | – | – |
| SB110 | The directive concerning requirements for personal protective gear in plant protection, "Personal protective gear for handling plant protection products" of the Federal Office of Consumer Protection and Food Safety must be observed. | – | – |
| SE1201 | Wear tight fitting eye protection when applying/handling the product. | – | – |
| SF514-1 | The operator or person equipped with adequate experience responsible for measuring the fumigation product used must check the ambient air regularly in accordance with 'TRGS' (technical regulation for dangerous substances) 512 (fumigations) until the area has been authorised for access to ensure that concentrations of the fumigation product which exceed the limit of detection (more than or equal to 0.01 ppm) do not occur outside of the specified danger zone. The measurement results and, if appropriate, the measures taken, must be documented and kept together with the fumigation documentation. | – | – |
| SF524 | Rooms/stores must be vacated and closed immediately after fumigation has been started. For use under gas-tight sheeting, put the goods in gas-tight packaging and vacate the danger zone immediately after fumigation has started. | – | – |
| SF526 | Containers holding gas may only be transported below deck if the cargo holds are fitted with a mechanical ventilation that is sized to provide at least two air changes per hour - based on an empty cargo space. According to Annex I No. 4.4.5 (1) of the GefStoffV (Hazardous Substances Ordinance), the international recommendations on the safe use of pesticides on ships by the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) must be complied with in Germany. In Germany, the mechanical ventilation shall be suitable for preventing concentrations of fumigation exceeding the limit value laid down in GefStoffV (GefStoffV, Annex I No. 4.4.4 (3) and TRGS 900 (occupational exposure limit values) (13)). There is an occupational exposure limit value of 0.14 mg/m³ or 0.1 ppm of phosphine (CAS-No 7803-51-2). | – | – |
| SS1201 | Wear standard protective gloves (plant protection) when handling/applying the product. | – | – |
| SS2204 | Wear a protective suit for plant protection products and sturdy shoes (e.g. rubber boots) when applying/handling the product. | – | – |
| ST3312 | Wear respiratory equipment with filter (type/identification colour ...*)) for phosphane when applying/handling the product and suitable protective clothing according to TRGS 512. *) state respiratory equipment, gas filter type (identification letter and colour) and gas filter class. | – | – |
| VS005-1 | Fumigations with substances stated in "GefStoffV" (Hazardous Substances Ordinance) annex I no.4.1 (1) till (3) require permission according to GefStoffV annex I no. 4.2 (1). When applying the product, the special regulations in GefStoffV annex I no. 4 in addition to the technical regulations for hazardous substances (TRGS 512 - Fumigations) must be observed. | – | – |
| WMI24A | Mode of Action (IRAC-Group): 24A | – | – |
| EO001 | SPo1: After contact with skin, first remove product with dry cloth and then wash with plenty of water. | – | – |
| EO002 | SPo2: Wash all protective cloth after use. | – | – |
| VH331 | The arsenic content in the technical active substance may not exceed 0.04 g/kg. | – | – |
