Part 2 Requirements in relation to listed chemical products

 

6 Formulation requirements for listed chemical products

  A listed chemical product must be formulated:

 (a) if the active constituent is calcium hypochlorite in the form of tablets or granules which provide 650 to 700 grams of available chlorine in each kilogram of the product; and

 (b) if the active constituent is lithium hypochlorite as granules which provide 350 grams of available chlorine in each kilogram of the product; and

 (c) if the active constituent is sodium hypochlorite in liquid form which provides 100 to 130 grams of available chlorine in each litre of the product; and

 (d) if the active constituent is sodium dichloroisocyanurate — as granules which provide 500 to 630 grams of available chlorine in each kilogram of the product; and

 (e) if the active constituent is trichloroisocyanuric acid as tablets which provide 800 to 900 grams of available chlorine in each kilogram of the product.

7 Package limits

  A listed chemical product must not, when packaged:

 (a) if the product is in liquid form have a volume that is more than 25 litres; and

 (b) if the chemical product is not in liquid form weigh more than 25 kilograms.

8 Labels

 (1) The label for a container for a listed chemical product must comply with the label format set out in:

 (a) if the active constituent of the product is calcium hypochlorite and the product is in a granular form Schedule 1; or

 (b) if the active constituent of the product is calcium hypochlorite and the product is in a tablet form — Schedule 2; or

 (c) if the active constituent of the product is lithium hypochlorite and the product is in a granular form — Schedule 3; or

 (d) if the active constituent of the product is sodium hypochlorite and the product is in a liquid form — Schedule 4; or

 (e) if the active constituent of the product is sodium dichloroisocyanurate and the product is in a granular form that, for each kilogram of the product, contains 500 to 599 grams of available chlorine in the form of sodium dichloroisocyanurate Schedule 5; or

 (f) if the active constituent of the product is sodium dichloroisocyanurate and the product is in a granular form that, for each kilogram of the product, contains 600 to 630 grams of available chlorine in the form of sodium dichloroisocyanurate — Schedule 6; or

 (g) if the active constituent of the product is a trichloroisocyanuric acid product and the product is in a tablet form — Schedule 7.

 (2) The label may also contain a claim that the product controls algal growth.
