4.8.1.   Use-specific instructions for use

• — The preservative can be added at any stage of the production of the product.

• — Earliest possible addition is recommended for optimal protection.

• — Consult the manufacturer to determine the optimal dosage for the various products to be preserved.

• — It is recommended that the optimum biocide concentration and compatibility with individual formulations is determined by means of laboratory tests.

• — The duration and storage conditions of the preserved matrices may impact the efficacy of the product, microbiological tests should be conducted to determine the appropriate application rate without exceeding the maximum authorised application rate.

• — The biocidal product shall be used for treatment of products (articles/mixtures) distributed only to professional users.

4.8.2.   Use-specific risk mitigation measures

• — During handling phases of products from Meta SPC 1, 2, 3 and 4 (mixing and loading), exposure to the product (corrosive and skin sensitizer products) has to be limited by use of PPE and application of technical and organisational RMM:

• — Minimisation of manual phases (process automation);

• — Use of a dosing device;

• — Regular cleaning of equipment and work area;

• — Avoidance of contact with contaminated tools and objects;

• — Good standard of general ventilation;

• — Training and management of staff on good practice.

• — PPE is as follows:

• — protective chemical resistant gloves (glove material to be specified by the authorisation holder within the product information);

• — protective coverall (at least type 3 or 4, EN 14605) which is impermeable for the biocidal product shall be worn (coverall material to be specified by the authorisation holder within the product information);

• — Eye protection;

• — Substance/task appropriate respirator if ventilation is inadequate.

• — The maximal products concentration used for the preservation of functional fluids (hydraulic fluids, antifreeze, corrosion inhibitors, etc…) being above the threshold value of 15 ppm, exposure has to be limited by use of PPE, protecting skin and mucous membranes potentially exposed, and application of technical and organisational RMM:

• — Minimisation of manual phases;

• — Use of a dosing device;

• — Regular cleaning of equipment and work area;

• — Good standard of general ventilation;

• — Training and management of staff on good practice.

5. GENERAL DIRECTIONS FOR USE OF THE META SPC 2

5.1.   Instructions for use

• — The duration of the effect is dependent on the performance requirements of the customer for their preserved material and on the specific ingredients composition and pH of the preserved product.

• — Always read the label or leaflet before use and follow all the instructions provided.

• — Respect the conditions of use of the product (concentration, contact time, temperature, pH, etc.)

PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES DURING STORAGE AND TRANSPORT:

Keep in a well-ventilated place. The product as supplied may evolve gas (largely carbon dioxide) slowly. To prevent the buildup of pressure the product is packaged in specially vented containers, where necessary. Keep this product in the original container when not in use. Container must be stored and transported in an upright position to prevent spilling the contents through the vent, where fitted.
