Where can you find details about the hazardous class of a pesticide?

The details about the hazardous class of a pesticide are typically found in the "transport" section of the Safety Data Sheet (SDS). The SDS is a crucial document that provides comprehensive information about the chemical properties and hazards associated with a substance, including how it should be safely transported and handled. The transport section specifically outlines the classifications of hazardous materials according to regulatory standards, detailing any specific risks and necessary precautions when moving or using the pesticide.

While pesticide label instructions do contain important safety information, they may not always provide an exhaustive breakdown of all hazardous classes compared to the more detailed SDS. Packaging generally offers basic usage and safety information, but it is limited in scope and does not replace the thorough data found in a Safety Data Sheet. Relying solely on local authorities would not provide direct information about a specific pesticide’s hazardous class; instead, professionals refer to the standardized documentation like the SDS for clear guidance.
