5. GENERAL DIRECTIONS FOR USE OF THE META SPC 3

5.1.   Instructions for use

Meta-SPC 1-3:

If the concentrated chlorinated solution is prepared manually, the following procedure is to be strictly followed:

    1. Always use a container perfectly cleaned-off and exclusively dedicated to this purpose.
    1. Determine the respective amounts of water and product that are necessary to be used in order to reach the desired chlorine concentration, e.g. as follows: Target available chlorine concentration 0.1%: 1.5 g calcium hypochlorite per 1 L of water Target available chlorine concentration 0.2%: 3.0 g calcium hypochlorite per 1 L of water Target available chlorine concentration 1%: 15 g calcium hypochlorite per 1 L of water Target available chlorine concentration 2%: 30 g calcium hypochlorite per 1 L of water
    1. First, pour the necessary amount of water.
    1. While shaking gently, afterwards, slowly pour the necessary amount of product.
    1. Keep on shaking for at least 15 minutes until total dissolution of the product.
  • — Always read the label or leaflet before use and follow all the instructions provided.
  • — Respect the conditions of use of the product.
  • — Inform the registration holder if the treatment is ineffective.
5.2.   Risk mitigation measures

Professional use:

  • — Wear protective coverall (type 5) in accordance with EN 13982-1 or equivalent and closed footwear in accordance with EN 13832-3 or equivalent, gloves in accordance with EN ISO 374 or equivalent (glove material to be specified by the authorisation holder within the product information) and chemical goggles in accordance with EN 166 or equivalent during mixing and loading task and post-application task (contact with solid).
