In which language must the SDS for phenyl glycidyl ether be supplied?

Documentation for phenyl glycidyl ether travels only as far as its language permits. Translation here is not editorial work: hazard statements have fixed official wording in each language, and paraphrasing them — however accurately — produces a sheet that no longer matches the register. The phrasing is prescribed, and it has to be reproduced, not rendered.

Identifiers that must agree

The CAS 122-60-1 number and index number 603-067-00-X are not interchangeable or decorative elements; they serve distinct purposes. The index number connects to the harmonised classification system, whereas the CAS number links to chemical literature. A document containing one without the other requires readers to independently reconstruct this relationship, which may lead to errors during reconstruction.

Purity, certificates and what the sheet does not say

For CAS 122-60-1 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.

How is phenyl glycidyl ether classified for road, sea and air transport?

Section 14 for CAS 122-60-1 carries the UN number, proper shipping name, class, packing group and environmental hazard where these apply. Where the substance is not dangerous for carriage, the section says so explicitly rather than being left empty — an empty section 14 reads as an omission, not as an absence of hazard.

What is the EC number for phenyl glycidyl ether?

Alongside CAS 122-60-1, this substance carries EC number 204-557-2 and Annex VI index 603-067-00-X. 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.

Sensitisation and declaration thresholds

Sensitisation (H317) carries consequences beyond the label: a threshold for declaring the substance in mixtures far below the general cut-off, and — where the entry is on the candidate list — an obligation to inform recipients. Importers frequently discover this at the point where a customer asks for a declaration they had not prepared.

First-aid content and why it is read first

First-aid content for CAS 122-60-1 has to be actionable by a person who is not a chemist and is reading under pressure. Section 4 also carries notes for the attending physician, which is where the classification becomes clinically relevant.

Disposal route and waste classification

Waste generated from phenyl glycidyl ether must be classified by the waste holder, but the classification sheet needs to provide the information that this classification is based on. Therefore, sections 13 and 2 are read together, and any discrepancy between them is considered a defect.

What do customs check when importing phenyl glycidyl ether?

When a consignment of phenyl glycidyl ether is stopped at the border, the document examined first is rarely the invoice. It is section 14 of the safety data sheet and its agreement with the transport papers. A missing packing group, an absent UN number or a proper shipping name that contradicts the classification of CAS 122-60-1 will hold the pallet regardless of how complete the remaining fifteen sections are.

Which GHS pictograms apply to phenyl glycidyl ether?

The label for phenyl glycidyl ether carries GHS07 (exclamation mark), GHS08 (health hazard), with the signal word Danger. These are not chosen by the supplier: CLP Annex VI states them for CAS 122-60-1, 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 is the CLP classification of phenyl glycidyl ether?

The harmonised classification for CAS 122-60-1 carries 7 hazard statements: H350, H341, H332, H335, H315, H317, H412. In plain terms this means may cause cancer; suspected of causing genetic defects; harmful if inhaled; may cause respiratory irritation. 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.

Can I import phenyl glycidyl ether into the EU?

The introduction of phenyl glycidyl ether 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, alcohols and ethers is assessed within the context of solvent shipments. Index 603-067-00-X establishes the classification that Section 2 must reflect accordingly.

Where is regulatory status recorded for phenyl glycidyl ether?

The existence of additional obligations beyond classification for CAS 122-60-1, such as inclusion in the candidate list, authorisation, or restrictions, should be addressed in section 15. As customers increasingly require a written statement regarding these obligations prior to placing an order, this section serves as the appropriate location to provide clarity on the matter.

Why a correct sheet stops being correct

Classification under CLP moves with each Adaptation to Technical Progress. A sheet for CAS 122-60-1 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.

Is phenyl glycidyl ether classified as a CMR substance?

CAS 122-60-1 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.

What must the label for phenyl glycidyl ether contain?

The supply label for phenyl glycidyl ether 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, H332… 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.

Storage and handling in the document

Storage requirements for phenyl glycidyl ether must be addressed in Section 7 and should align with Section 10, which outlines prohibited conditions and materials. If discrepancies arise between the two sections, the documentation is considered internally inconsistent, and a laboratory auditor will deem both sections unreliable.

Other names for this substance

The same substance appears in trade and in the literature under several names: 2,3-epoxypropyl phenyl ether, 1,2-epoxy-3-phenoxypropane. A safety data sheet has to carry the name used in the harmonised entry, but a purchase order, a customs declaration and a certificate of analysis may each use a different one. Where the names diverge, CAS 122-60-1 is the identifier that reconciles them — and a document set that relies on trade names alone will eventually be read as describing three different materials.

Questions about documentation for phenyl glycidyl ether

In which language must the sheet be supplied?

In an official language of each Member State where phenyl glycidyl ether 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.

Do I need a safety data sheet to import phenyl glycidyl ether into the EU?

Yes. A sheet compiled to Annex II of REACH must exist before the first consignment moves, and it must be held by the entity placing the substance on the Union market.

What is the CAS number of phenyl glycidyl ether?

CAS 122-60-1. In CLP Annex VI the same substance carries index number 603-067-00-X, and both identifiers should appear in the documentation.
