  1. Telephone: 01-8379964 and 01-
  2. Organophosphorous pesticides. Symptoms These may include sweating, headache, weakness, faintness and giddiness, nausea, stomach pains, vomiting, small pupils, blurred vision, muscle twitching. First Aid If any

the above symptoms occur, particularly if there is known contamination; stop work; remove contaminated clothing; wash exposed skin and hair; prevent all exertion; and call doctor at once and show him the label. Guide to Doctor. Specific treatment

  1. Where signs and symptoms are present and as early as possible, inject treatment atropine sulphate 2 mg or pro rata for children and repeat (if necessary) until fully atropinised.
  2. If available administer pralidoxine 1g by intra-muscular injection. Repeat after 3-4 hours. Other measures
  3. Keep airway clear.
  4. Watch respiration — intubation with endotracheal tube, or tracheotomy may be necessary in conjunction with artificial ventilation.
  5. Put patient at complete rest in hospital for 24 hours at least. Confirmation Estimate cholinesterase activity (5 ml blood unhaemolysed,

Diagnosis collected in an anticoagulant). Dinitro pesticides. Symptoms These may include fatigue, excessive and unusual sweating and thirst, with sleeplessness and loss

weight in protracted cases. In severe cases there may be rapidly increasing anxiety and restlessness with an increase in respiration and heart rate. First Aid If any

the above symptoms occur, particularly if there is known contamination; stop work; remove contaminated clothing; wash thoroughly; keep person at rest in the coolest available place; sponge skin with cold water and give cold water to drink; and call doctor at once and show him the label. Guide to Doctor. Treatment 1. Treat suspected cases

poisoning by vigorous cooling, giving abundant fluids and oxygen for dyspnoea.

  1. Where signs and symptoms are present and as early as possible inject atropine sulphate 3 mg or pro rata for children and repeat if necessary until fully atropinised.
  2. Do not use pralidoxine. Other measures
  3. Keep airway clear.
  4. Watch respiration — intubation with endotracheal tube or tracheotomy may be necessary in conjunction with artificial ventilation.
  5. Put patient at complete rest in hospital for 24 hours at least. Bipyridyl pesticides. Symptoms Following ingestion, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain and diarrhoea (

ten bloody) may occur within a few hours and result in severe fluid and electrolyte disturbance. In severe cases, circulatory collapse and coma may occur. The concentrate may cause irritation to skin and eyes. First Aid Wash concentrate or spray from skin immediately; wash eye splashes with water for 10 to 15 minutes and seek medical attention; if swallowed, induce vomiting, if not already occurring and take patient to hospital immediately. Guide to Doctor. Specific treatment 1. Give stomach washout and at the same time test urine and gastric aspirate for the presence

paraquat or diquat. 2. If the test is positive, purge the gastrointestinal tract immediately with up to one litre

a 15 per cent suspension

Fuller's Earth and 200 ml

20 per cent mannitol in water.

  1. Give a sodium or magnesium sulphate purgative separately.
  2. Contact the Poisons Information Centre for further advice on treatment. Test-quick qualitative Paraquat and diquat can be detected by reduction to blue or green radical ion with sodium dithionite under alkaline conditions. Quick test capsules can be prepared by mixing the following materials: Sodium dithionite (hydrosulphite) 10g pH buffer powder 6g Sodium bicarbonate 25g The reagents, thoroughly mixed, and packed in 1g amounts in gelatin capsules (gauge 0) can be stored at room temperature in a screw-capped container for at least six months. The test is performed by breaking open the capsule and tipping the contents into 10ml

urine, and shaking gently until dissolved. A green or blue colour indicates the presence

paraquat or diquat. ANNEX VIII. (Annex II to Council Directive 78/631/EEC as amended by Council Directive 81/187/EEC and adapted by Commission Directive 84/291/EEC). CLASSIFICATION BY CALCULATION

PESTICIDES CONTAINING MORE THAN ONE ACTIVE SUBSTANCE. 1. For the purpose

applying the method

calculation for the classification

pesticides which contain more than one active substance, the dangerous substances used in their preparation are divided into categories and sub-categories in accordance with the list in point 5. 2. The following formula shall be used for the classification

a pesticide: Where: P = the percentage by weight

each dangerous substance present in the pesticide; I = the distinguishing index

the sub-category to which each substance belongs. It is assigned for every percentage unit

the substance in question present in the pesticide. In particular, I breaks down into the following: I1: for classifying solid pesticides as toxic or harmful; I2: for classifying liquid or gaseous pesticides as toxic or harmful. The values

the indices I1 and I2 are given in the table below: Table

Classification Indices. Category to which the substance belongs Pesticide classification indices Solid Liquid or gaseous I1 (= conc.%) I2 (= conc.%) Category I I/a 500 (= 1%) 500 (= 1%) I/b 100 (= 5%) 125 (=4%) I/c 15 =( 33%) 25 (= 20%) Category II 11/a 5 (= 100%) 10 (= 50%) II/b 2 (= 100%) 4 (= 100%) II/c 1 (= 100%) 2 (= 100%) II/d 0.5 (= 100%) 1 (= 100%) 3. Pesticides containing one or more

the substances listed in point 5 are regarded as toxic if the sum

the substances listed in point 5 are regarded as harmful if the sum

the products referred to in point 3 is 500 or less, but greater than 25 for solid pesticides, or 500 or less, but greater than 40 for liquid or gaseous pesticides, i.e.: —for solid pesticides: —for liquid or gaseous pesticides: When the result

this calculation is 25 or less for a solid pesticide, or 40 or less for a liquid or gaseous one, the pesticide is not classified. 5. List

1992 and adapted by Commission Directive No. 91/410/EEC). PROVISIONS RELATING TO CHILD-PROOF FASTENINGS. 1. Reclosable packages. Child-proof fastenings used on reclosable packages shall comply with ISO Standard 8317 (1 July 1989 edition) relating to 'Child-resistant packages — Requirements and methods

testing for reclosable packages' adopted by the International Standard Organization (ISO).

  1. Non-reclosable packages. (pro memoria).
  2. Notes.
  3. Evidence

conformity with the above standard may be certified only by laboratories which conform with European Standards Series EN

  1. Specific cases. If it seems obvious that packaging is sufficiently safe for children because they cannot get access to the contents without the help

a tool, the test doesn't need to be performed. In all other cases and when there are sufficient grounds for doubting the security

the closure for a child, the national authority may ask the person responsible for putting the product on the market to give him a certificate from a test house described below, that either: —the type

closure is such that it is not necessary to test to the ISO standard referred to above, or —the closure has been tested and has been found to conform with the standard referred to above. SECOND SCHEDULE. Regulation 12
