Understanding Your Safety Data Sheet

Below is a procurement-ready breakdown of what your Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for the 1000 ppm HOCl solution is saying, what it means in practice for operatives / housing work, and what it doesn't mean.

Everything in the "what the SDS says" sections is taken directly from your SDS PDF.

What a Safety Data Sheet is (and what it counts as)

An SDS is a legally structured hazard-communication document. It tells employers, contractors, and end users:

  • what's in the product (to the level required),
  • whether it is classified as hazardous under the classification system,
  • how to handle/store it safely,
  • first aid and emergency steps,
  • PPE recommendations,
  • transport/disposal/regulatory notes.

It's not a "certificate" or "approval" on its own - it's the product's safety information in the required format (16 sections). The SDS format/content requirements come from REACH Annex II (and its amendments).

View REACH Annex II (Legislation.gov.uk)

1) Product identity + intended uses (Section 1)

What the SDS says:

  • "Bottled GreenTeck Solution (1000 ppm)"
  • Trade name: GreenTeck Pure Genius
  • Product group: Disinfectants
  • Identified uses: industrial, professional and non-professional (surface cleaning and sanitisation)

What this means for "Mould Check" messaging

If you're using this SDS to support "safe for occupied properties" positioning, keep your claims aligned with the SDS's stated use: surface cleaning and sanitisation (not, for example, "treats structural damp causes" or "removes mould stains" unless you have separate evidence/authorisations for those claims).

2) Hazard classification: "Not classified" (Section 2)

This is the big headline from a H&S/procurement point of view:

Classified under CLP/GHS: "Not classified"
No labelling applicable (no hazard pictograms, no signal word, no hazard statements on that basis)
"Other hazards: None known."

What "Not classified" means

Under CLP classification rules, this SDS asserts the mixture doesn't meet the thresholds to be classified as hazardous in the hazard classes that trigger classification/label elements.

Operationally: it usually means simpler risk controls, fewer "hazchem" handling restrictions, and fewer label-driven constraints than oxidisers/corrosives/chlorine-based bleaches.

What "Not classified" does NOT mean

It does not mean "risk-free" in all circumstances. The SDS still recommends practical controls (gloves, goggles if spraying, avoid inhaling droplets).

It does not replace an employer's duty to assess risk for their specific task/environment (COSHH/risk assessment is still a workplace obligation even when a product isn't classified).

3) Composition: what's in the solution (Section 3)

What the SDS lists:

Hypochlorous acid (HOCl): 0.095% to 0.105%

(CAS 7790-92-3) - notes "Active chlorine released from hypochlorous acid"

Sodium chloride: 0.345% to 0.355%

(CAS 7647-14-5)

Acetic acid: 0.39% to 0.41%

(CAS 64-19-7)

Water: >99.13%

(CAS 7732-18-5)

Hazardous ingredients: None (per the SDS)

What this means (commercially and operationally)

The SDS is clearly positioning this as a very dilute, water-based mixture with low percentages of HOCl and acetic acid, and no listed hazardous ingredients requiring disclosure under the SDS criteria stated.

4) First aid + emergency posture (Sections 4–6)

First aid (Section 4)

Inhalation:
remove to fresh air if discomfort; seek medical attention if it continues
Skin:
rinse with water; "Non-sensitising."
Eyes:
flush with plenty of water; remove contact lenses; seek medical attention if irritation continues
Ingestion:
"None required."

Fire (Section 5)

Not flammable or explosive

Spills (Section 6)

  • evacuate non-emergency personnel
  • if permitted locally, spills can be washed to sewer with plenty of water
  • mop/absorb with inert material; cleaning materials may be disposed of as normal refuse

What this signals: the SDS is presenting the product as low fire risk and relatively straightforward for minor spill management (subject to local rules).

5) Handling & storage controls (Section 7) - crucial for HOCl products

What the SDS recommends:

  • Protective gloves recommended; wash hands after use
  • Store closed, opaque, cool and well ventilated
  • Keep container closed when not in use
  • "Product is designed for immediate usage or short term storage… Prolonged storage reduces cleaning and disinfection abilities."
  • Incompatibles: strong acids, ammonia-containing products (hazardous gases), hydrogen peroxide
  • Avoid direct sunlight/UV/heat
  • Storage temperature: 5–30°C

What this means for your "accreditations" story

This section supports the narrative that:

  • performance is condition-dependent (light/heat degrade available chlorine),
  • you have defined incompatibilities that reduce risk when communicated properly,
  • you have storage controls aligned to maintaining efficacy.

Important marketing implication: if you claim rapid kill / high efficacy, you should also show you protect that efficacy through opaque packaging and temperature guidance - your SDS supports that positioning.

6) PPE & exposure controls (Section 8)

What the SDS says:

  • no occupational exposure limit available
  • Goggles recommended, especially if spraying
  • Rubber or nitrile gloves recommended
  • Respiratory protection not needed for normal use, but avoid breathing droplets created by spraying

What this means for "COSHH burden"

This is the most defensible way to talk about reduced COSHH friction:

No hazard classification + light-touch PPE guidance often reduces the operational complexity compared with corrosive bleach-based products (which usually drive stricter PPE/ventilation controls).

But you should avoid "no PPE needed" messaging - your SDS explicitly recommends gloves and (in spraying) goggles.

7) Physical/chemical properties (Section 9)

Highlights:

  • Clear, colourless liquid, slight chlorine odour
  • pH 5.5–7.0
  • Vapour pressure listed (20–25 hPa at 20°C)
  • Density ~1.0–1.01 g/mL
  • Completely soluble in water

What this supports: "near-neutral pH" positioning and general usability claims, while still keeping "slight chlorine odour" and spray-droplet guidance honest.

8) Stability, incompatibilities, and gas-release warnings (Section 10)

This is one of the most important risk statements:

  • stable under normal conditions
  • sunlight/high temperatures degrade active chlorine
  • Do not mix with strong acids or strong bases (chlorine gas may be released with strong acid)
  • Do not mix with ammonia (chloramine gas may be released)

What it means: even when a product is "not classified", you still must message "do not mix" clearly - because unsafe mixing is a primary real-world hazard pathway.

9) Toxicology and ecology posture (Sections 11–12)

The SDS includes toxicological information referencing ECHA sources for sodium chloride and provides LD50/LC50 style endpoints. It also states neither sodium chloride nor HOCl are PBT/vPvB in the described context, and gives mobility notes for hypochlorite species.

How to use this in a credible way: "SDS reports no SVHC above threshold and no PBT/vPvB classification" is safer than "environmentally harmless".

10) Transport & regulatory statements (Sections 14–15)

Transport (Section 14)

Transport section is shown as not applicable across the usual dangerous-goods fields (UN number, proper shipping name, class, packing group, environmental hazards).

Regulatory (Section 15)

  • product not classified as dangerous according to EU-directive 1272/2008 (CLP)
  • references detergents regulation and ozone-depleting substances regulation as "not ozone-depleting"
  • states no SVHC above 0.1% (w/w) threshold per REACH Article 57 criterion mention

What it means for logistics: it supports "not regulated as dangerous goods" positioning (based on this SDS), which is relevant for warehouse handling and courier constraints. (Still follow carrier rules.)
