6.4. Reference to other sections
Personal protective equipment: see Section 8; Disposal: see Section 13.
Handling and storage
7.1. Precautions for safe handling:
Ensure good ventilation and exhaustion at the workplace.
Keep container tightly closed. Keep away from sources of ignition - No smoking. (Vapours may form explosive mixture with air). Avoid formation of aerosols. Take precautionary measures against electrostatic discharges.
Avoid breathing vapours/aerosols. Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing.
Avoid release to the environment.
Make available sufficient washing facilities. Provide eye shower. In case of working with bigger quantities, provide emergency shower.
General hygienic measures:
Do not to eat, drink and smoke in work areas.
Wash hands thoroughly before breaks and after work.
Contaminated work clothing should not be allowed out of the workplace.
Remove contaminated clothing and protective equipment before entering eating areas.
Separate storage of work clothes.
7.2. Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities:
Store away from sources of ignition, oxidising agents, and other incompatible substances (see Section 10.5.).
Protect from heat and direct sunlight.
Store away from pharmaceutical products, food, beverages and feedingstuff.
Keep the packing tightly closed and store in cool and dry area with good ventilation.
Recommended storage temperature: +5°C to +30°C.

Exposure controls / personal protection
8.1. Control parameters:
Components with occupational exposure limits requiring monitoring:
Austria (24. September 2018)
Formaldehyd [50-00-0]:
TMW: 0,3 ppm 0,37 mg/m3
KZW: 0,6 ppm 0,7 mg/m3
No occupational exposure limit value established for CAS 1067-12-5.
Belgium: 01.07.2014 - see SDS section 8.1
No occupational exposure limit value established for CAS 1067-12-5.
France (Valeurs limits d'exposition professionelle aux agents chimiques en France, http://www.inrs.fr/ ):see SDS section 8.1
Germany (TRGS 900, version dated 12.5.2020): see SDS section 8.1
Biologische Grenzwerte (TRGS 903): keine
No occupational exposure limit value for CAS 1067-12-5 established.
Switzerland (SUVA 15.10.2019): see SDS section 8.1
Notationen
C1#B Wahrscheinlich krebserregender Stoff mit Schwellenwert
SSC Keine Schädigung der Leibesfrucht bei Einhaltung des MAK-Werts
S Sensibilisierung
Kritische Toxizität: Auge, Augenbindehaut

No occupational exposure limit value established for CAS 1067-12-5.
United Kingdom (http://www.hse.gov.uk/coshh/):
The current workplace exposure limit (WEL) for formaldehyde is two parts per million (2ppm), time weighted average over eight hours. The short-term limit (averaged over ten minutes) is 2ppm.
The WEL for formaldehyde is currently under review and subject to possible change.
A worker's exposure to formaldehyde should not exceed this WEL and every effort should be made to reduce the exposure as low as is reasonably practicable, and in any case below the WEL.
http://www.hse.gov.uk/pubns/iacl88.htm
No occupational exposure limit value established for CAS 1067-12-5.
DNEL Workers: No data available.
DNEL General population: No data available.
PNEC: No data available.
8.2. Exposure controls
8.2.1. Appropriate engineering controls
Technical measures and appropriate working procedures have priority over the use of personal protective equipment. See section 7.
8.2.2 Individual protection measures
Eye protection: Tightly sealed goggles (EN 166)
Protection of hands:
In case of long-term contact: protective gloves.
To avoid skin problems, reduce the wearing of gloves to the required minimum.
The protective gloves must comply with the specifications of EC-Directive 89/686/EEC and the corresponding norm EN 374 (in connection with DIN EN 420 and DIN EN 388).
The glove material has to be impermeable and resistant to the product/ the substance.
Due to missing tests no recommendation to the glove material can be given for the product / the chemical mixture.
Selection of the glove material on consideration of the penetration times, rates of diffusion and the degradation.
Glove material:
The selection of suitable gloves does not only depend on the material, but also on further quality characteristics and varies from manufacturer to manufacturer.
Penetration time of glove material:
The exact break through time has to be found out by the manufacturer of the protective gloves and has to be observed.
Body protection:protective clothing.
Protective clothing needs to be selected specifically for the workplace, depending on the concentrations and
quantities of the hazardous substances handled.
Respiratory protection:
Not necessary if exhaust ventilation at the workplace is working well.
Respiratory protection:is needed if technical suction / ventilation measures are not possible or not sufficient, and if treshold limits are exceeded.
In case of short-term or low exposure: use filtering device. Respirator type: filter A/P2.
In case of long-term exposure or higher levels of exposure: wear self-contained breathing apparatus.
Observe the wear time limits according to GefStoffV in combination with the rules for using respiratory protection apparatus (BGR 190).
The employer shall ensure that maintenance, cleaning and inspection of respiratory protective equipment is carried out in accordance with the equipment manufacturer's instructions.
Attention: respiratory protection devices with air filters do not protect against oxygen deficiencies at the workplace. If the concentration of oxygen in the workplace is less than 17%, wear self-contained breathing apparatus.
8.2.3 Environmental exposure controls
Emissions from ventilation or work process equipment should be checked to ensure they comply with the requirements of environmental protection legislation. In some cases, fume scrubbers, filters or engineering modifications to the process equipment will be necessary to reduce emissions to acceptable levels.
