1 Subsection (Annex Point) The information supplied in Annex A/8 should at least meet the requirements of the Safety Data Sheets Directive. The Safety Data Sheets should reflect the contents of Annex B where applicable. If different measures are necessary for the active substance and its formulations this should be stated in different dossiers. Specifications in the TNsG on data requirements (chapt.2 A 8) should be taken into account For more detailed information about the expected contents of this form see TNsG Dossier Preparation Doc. III-A Section A8 8.1 Recommended methods and concerning handling, use, storage, transport or fire (IIA8.1) Methods and concerning placing on the market Methods and concerning production, handling and use of the active substance and its formulations Methods and concerning storage of the active substance and its formulations TI-435 is toxic if swallowed and considered to be slightly irritant to the eyes. However, no others than given below are necessary when placing on the market. Personal protection eye/face: chemical goggles, dustproof mask Protective clothing: rubber gloves, cap, coveralls, apron, boots as necessary to protect skin contact Engineering controls: equipments as local ventilation, sealed facilities, whole ventilation are preferable Handling: use in a well ventilated area, avoid contact with skin and eyes, do not breath dust Packaging of the technical material is performed in a closed room with local ventilation equipment to avoid emissions. Recommended PPE are (but not limited to) the following types. Chemical glove: rubber glove Respiratory protector: dust-proof musk or chemical-cartridge respirator Chemical goggles: PVC frame with polycarbonate lenses Chemical apron: PVC Storage: store in well ventilated area; keep container tightly closed; keep from sunlight; do not store or consume food, drink or tobacco in areas where they may become contaminated with this material. TI-435 technical material is put in a polyethylene bag in a fiber drum and stored in a room kept at 8-10 C by air-conditioners. The room is equipped with sprinklers and fire extinguishers to conform to the Fire Defense Law of Japan. * 1 * Methods and Transport should be done in accordance with state or federal

2 concerning transport of the active substance and its formulations Methods and concerning fire of the active substance and its formulations regulatory requirements. UN no: not applicable The transport of TI-435 technical material is done in conformity to the Fire Defense Law of Japan. Extinguish media: water, chemical foam, dry chemical and CO2 are suitable extinguisher Fire and explosion hazards: combustible; may emit toxic gases under fire condition; keep fire exposed containers cool by spraying with water Fire fighting instructions: firefighters and others who may be exposed to mist or products of combustion should wear full protective and self-contained breathing apparatus; fighting equipments should be thoroughly cleaned after use 8.2 In case of fire, nature of reaction products, combustion gases, etc. (IIA8.2) In the event of fire, the formation of hydrogen chloride, hydrogen cyanide, carbon monoxide, and nitrogen oxides must be anticipated. 8.3 Emergency measures in case of an accident (IIA8.3) Specific treatment in case of an accident, e.g. firstaid measures, antidotes, medical treatment if available Emergency measures to protect the General: Remove victims from danger zone. If there is a risk of unconsciousness, position an transport in stable lateral position. Remove soiled or soaked clothing immediately. Inhalation: if inhaled, remove a patient from exposure, keep warm and rest; call a physician Skin: in case of contact, immediately wash skin with soap and plenty of water Eyes: in case of contact, immediately wash eyes with running water for at least 15 min.; call a physician Ingestion: if swallowed, induce vomiting immediately by giving large quantity of water and sticking finger down throat; never give anything by mouth or do not induce vomiting to an unconscious person; call a physician or seek medical advice Do not allow product to reach sewage system or water bodies. Inform respective authorities in case product reaches water or sewage system. In case of spillage, immediately recover the material with a vacuum cleaner. The recovered material should be incinerated appropriately When engaging these activities, wear appropriate PPE as recommended (but not limited) as below. Chemical glove: rubber glove Respiratory protector: dust-proof mask or chemical-cartridge respirator Chemical goggles: PVC frame with polycarbonate lenses Chemical apron: PVC * 3 * 4 * 4

The spreading of dust must be avoided. From water/sediment studies, DT50 values for TI-435 in the water layers of two water/sediment systems were ca. 31 and 50 days. The toxicity of TI-435 to aquatic organisms (fish, daphia, green algae, aquatic plants) is low with the exception of sediment dwelling organisms. It may be assumed that procedres for neutralisation in water would burden natural aquatic s more than TI-435 alone.therefore, no specific procedures are recommended. Sweep together material and place into containers for later disposal; disposal practice must be in compliance with local, state and/or federal laws and regulations 8.5 Procedures for waste management of the active substance for industry or professional users e.g. possibility of re-use or recycling, neutralisation, conditions for controlled discharge, and incineration (IIA8.5) Possibility of re-use or recycling Possibility of neutralisation of effects Conditions for controlled discharge including leachate qualities on disposal Consult with the manufacturer/supplier. A neutralisation procudure can not be proposed. Controlled landfill or discharge to water bodies is not recommended Conditions for In accordance with the local regulations controlled TI-435 contains less than 15% halogen. incineration 8.6 Observations on undesirable or unintended side-effects, e.g. on beneficial and other non-target organisms (IIA8.6) TI-435 is an insecticidal active ingredient and as such will have effects on beneficial arthropods. However, when the product is used as recommended, no risk is to be expected for the. * 5
