Federal Regulations: |
| Workplace Classification | This product is considered non-hazardous under the OSHA Hazard Communication Standard (29CFR 1910.1200) | | | | SARA Title III | | | Section 311/312 | This product has been reviewed according to the TPA "Hazard Catagories" promulgated under Sections 311 and 312 of the Superfund Amendment and Reauthorization Act of 1986 (SARA Title III) and is considered, under applicable definitions, to meet the following catagories: | | Phosphoric Acid (planning threshold of 10,000 pounds) | | Immediate and acute health hazard | | | | Section 313 | This product contains phosphoric acid (CAS No. 7664-38-2) at a 10% level. | | | CERCLA Information (40CFR 302.4) | Releases of this product to air, land, or water are not reportable to the National Response Center under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) or to state and local emergency planning committees under the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA) Title III Section 304. | | | | Waste Classification | When a decision is made to discard unused portions of this product, it does not meet RCRA’s characteristic definition of ignitability, corrosivity, or reactivity, and none of the materials used in this product are listed in 40 CFR 261.33. The pH of this product is equal to or less than 2.0 and is therefore characterized under the RCRA as a corrosive. Neutralization as indicated in Section XIII prior to disposal is required. The toxicity characteristic (TC), however, has not been evaluated by the Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP). Note: Chemical additions to, processing of, or otherwise altering this material may make this waste management information incomplete, inaccurate, or otherwise inappropriate. Furthermore, State and local waste disposal requirements may be more restrictive or otherwise different from Federal laws and regulations. | | | | | TSCA | All components of this product are in compliance with the inventory listing requirements of the U.S. Toxic Substances Control Act. | | | |
