divanadium pentaoxide (CAS 1314-62-1) — Safety Data Sheet

For divanadium pentaoxide (CAS 1314-62-1) the documentation obligation begins before the first shipment. This page sets out what the safety data sheet has to establish.

In which language must the SDS for divanadium pentaoxide be supplied?

The documentation for divanadium pentaoxide is limited by its original language. Translation in this context is not an editorial task; hazard statements must use their official wording in each language, as any rephrasing — even if accurate — would result in a document that no longer aligns with the required format. The phrasing is strictly defined and must be reproduced exactly, rather than being interpreted or adapted.

What Annex VI notes and concentration limits apply to divanadium pentaoxide?

The register also records inhalation: ATE = 0.05 mg/L dusts or mists;oral: ATE = 220.0 mg/kg bw for this entry. Specific concentration limits, M-factors and acute toxicity estimates override the generic cut-off values, so a mixture calculation that ignores them will classify the mixture wrongly in both directions.

Why a correct sheet stops being correct

Classification under CLP moves with each Adaptation to Technical Progress. A sheet for CAS 1314-62-1 written before the amendment that touched its entry keeps stating a classification the register no longer holds. Nothing in the document announces this — it reads exactly as it did on the day it was issued, which is precisely why revision dates are checked before content.

What is the CLP classification of divanadium pentaoxide?

The harmonised classification for CAS 1314-62-1 carries 9 hazard statements: H350, H341, H361fd, H362, H330, H301, H335, H372 (inhalation) (respiratory tract), H411. In plain terms this means may cause cancer; suspected of causing genetic defects; H361fd; may cause harm to breast-fed children. A harmonised entry is binding across the Union — an importer may not soften it, and a self-classification that diverges from it will not survive an enforcement check.

What concentration limits apply to divanadium pentaoxide?

Acute toxicity estimates stated in the register: inhalation: ATE = 0,05 mg/L; oral: ATE = 220 mg/kg.

Documentation demand on the EU market

CAS 1314-62-1 has a recorded presence on the European trading market, which means documentation for it is requested routinely rather than exceptionally. Substances that move in commerce attract repeat scrutiny: the same sheet is read by successive customers, carriers and authorities, and a defect that survives the first reading rarely survives the tenth.

Can I import divanadium pentaoxide into the EU?

The introduction of divanadium pentaoxide into the Union necessitates the preparation of documentation prior to logistical arrangements. The documentation file must be available at the time of import, not merely upon request; for this purpose, substances listed in CLP Annex VI is assessed within the context of regulated consignments. Index 023-[CAS?] establishes the classification that Section 2 must reflect accordingly.

Which SDS sections decide whether a shipment clears?

Sixteen sections, in the prescribed order, with the prescribed subsections. That is the shape a document for CAS 1314-62-1 must take before anyone reads a word of it. The format predates CLP and survives it, which is why a sixteen-section layout alone proves nothing about whether the classification inside is current.

How is divanadium pentaoxide classified for road, sea and air transport?

Transport classification for divanadium pentaoxide sits in section 14 and differs by mode: ADR for road, IMDG for sea, IATA for air. A sheet that prints all three without stating which applies leaves the shipper to choose, and the shipper is the one penalised for choosing wrong.

Identifiers that must agree

CAS 1314-62-1 and index number 023-[CAS?] are not interchangeable and not decorative. The index number ties the entry to the harmonised classification; the CAS number ties it to the chemical literature. A file carrying one without the other forces every reader to reconstruct the link, and reconstruction is where errors enter.

Purity, certificates and what the sheet does not say

For CAS 1314-62-1 the distinction between grades — technical, reagent, analytical — lives in the certificate of analysis and in the specification it is measured against, not in the safety data sheet. Confusing the two is the most common documentation error we see in laboratory procurement.

What is the EC number for divanadium pentaoxide?

Alongside CAS 1314-62-1, this substance carries EC number 215-239-8 and Annex VI index 023-[CAS?]. European documentation is built around the EC number as often as around the CAS: registration dossiers, the candidate list and customs systems key on it. A safety data sheet quoting only one of the two forces every downstream reader to look up the other.

Protective equipment and exposure controls

When conducting a risk assessment for divanadium pentaoxide, laboratories must begin by referring to Section 8. If an occupational exposure limit is in place, it is essential to clearly state this limit along with its source and the corresponding averaging period. In cases where no such limit exists, the documentation should explicitly indicate this fact rather than leaving the relevant field blank.

Is divanadium pentaoxide classified as a CMR substance?

CAS 1314-62-1 is classified as a CMR substance (H350). That status changes the obligations attached to every shipment: workplace exposure documentation, restrictions on supply to the general public, and substitution pressure from downstream users who must justify continued use. A safety data sheet for a CMR substance is read more closely than any other, because the classification itself invites scrutiny.

Which GHS pictograms apply to divanadium pentaoxide?

The label for divanadium pentaoxide carries GHS06 (skull and crossbones), GHS08 (health hazard), GHS09 (environment), with the signal word Danger. These are not chosen by the supplier: CLP Annex VI states them for CAS 1314-62-1, and the precedence rules in Annex I decide which pictogram is dropped when two would say the same thing. A label showing a different set from the register is wrong even if every hazard statement on it is correct.

What must the label for divanadium pentaoxide contain?

The supply label for divanadium pentaoxide is generated from the same classification that drives the safety data sheet: pictograms selected by precedence, one signal word derived from the highest hazard class present, and the hazard statements H350, H341, H361fd… reproduced in full. Where the container is too small to carry the complete set at a legible size, there are lawful ways to handle it and unlawful ones that look identical to a non-specialist.

Where is regulatory status recorded for divanadium pentaoxide?

Whether CAS 1314-62-1 carries obligations beyond classification — candidate list entry, authorisation, restriction — belongs in section 15. Customers increasingly request a written statement on this point before placing an order, and the sheet is the natural place for it.

Aquatic hazard and disposal

Aquatic hazard classification (H411) for CAS 1314-62-1 reaches beyond the label. It governs the environmental section of the safety data sheet, the disposal route stated in section 13, and in several Member States the reporting threshold for storage. Consignments carrying an aquatic hazard also attract marine pollutant marking when moved by sea.

Questions about documentation for divanadium pentaoxide

Is divanadium pentaoxide a CMR substance?

Yes. The harmonised classification places it among substances classified as carcinogenic, mutagenic or toxic for reproduction, which changes workplace documentation and supply restrictions.

What hazard statements apply to CAS 1314-62-1?

The harmonised entry lists H350, H341, H361fd, H362. These are binding across the Union and may not be softened by a self-classification.

In which language must the sheet be supplied?

In an official language of each Member State where divanadium pentaoxide is placed on the market, unless that State has stated otherwise.

Can I check whether my existing sheet is still valid?

Yes. A section-by-section reading against Annex II and the current harmonised entry establishes that in one pass, and a sheet that passes is reported as passing.
