Public consultations launched on CLH proposals for two borates and a pesticide

03-May-2013 - Finland

Zeta Potential Analyzer for Solid Surfaces

Digital membrane chromatography opens up new horizons in protein analysis

Compact AutoAnalyzer for precise photometric determinations

The CLH proposals for the two borates disodium octaborate, anhydrate and disodium octaborate, tetrahydrate, have been submitted by the Netherlands. Neither substance has an existing harmonised classification and for both substances the dossier submitter is proposing classification for reproductive toxicity based on the adverse developmental and fertility effects observed in several species.

The CLH proposal for the pesticide fenpyroximate was submitted by the German competent authority. This substance also does not have a harmonised classification, and the proposal includes both health and environmental hazards.

The CLH reports and the dedicated webform to post the comments are available on the ECHA website. The comments received during the public consultation will be regularly published on the ECHA website during the 45-day consultation phase.

Table 1. The proposed harmonised classification and labelling and examples of uses of the substances.

Substance name	EC number	CAS number	Proposed harmonised classification and labelling	Examples of uses*
disodium octaborate, anhydrate	234-541-0	12008-41-2	Reproductive toxicity Specific concentration limit (SCL) for reproductive toxicity Hazardous to the aquatic environment (DSD only)	Used as a chemical intermediate.
disodium octaborate, tetrahydrate	234-541-0	12280-03-4	Reproductive toxicity Specific concentration limit (SCL) for reproductive toxicity	Used as a biocidal active substance including as a wood preservative.
fenpyroximate (ISO); tert-butyl 4-[({[(E)-(1,3-dimethyl-5-phenoxy-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)methylene]amino}oxy)methyl]benzoate		134098-61-6	Acute toxicity Eye irritation Skin sensitisation Hazardous to the aquatic environment M-factors for hazards to the aquatic environment	Used as an acaricide in agriculture, horticulture and viticulture.

* Please note that information on uses does not impact the classification and labelling, which is solely based on the intrinsic properties of a substance. Examples of uses are copied from the CLH report.
