REGULATORY INFORMATIONA dditionalInformationRESPIRATORS: In General the use of respirators should be limited and engineering controls employed to avoidexposure. If respiratory equipment must be worn ensure correct respirator selection and training is that some respirators may be extremely uncomfortable when used for long periods. The use of airpowered or air supplied respirators should be considered where prolonged or repeated use is STANDARDS - TIME WEIGHTED AVERAGE (TWA) or WES (WORKPLACE EXPOSURESTANDARD) (NZ): Exposure standards are established on the premise of an 8 hour work period of normalintensity, under normal climatic conditions and where a 16 hour break between shifts exists to enable the body toeliminate absorbed contaminants.

8 In the following circumstances, exposure standards must be reduced: strenuouswork conditions; hot, humid climates; high altitude conditions; extended shifts (which increase the exposure periodand shorten the period of recuperation).ABBREVIATIONS:ADB - Air-Dry - Biological Exposure Indice(s)CAS# - Chemical Abstract Service number - used to uniquely identify chemical - Central Nervous - European INventory of Existing Commercial chemical - International Agency for Research on - moles per litre, a unit of OTHER INFORMATIONPage 3 of4 Reviewed: 08 Mar 2010 Printed: 10 Mar SODIUM THIOSULPHATE (TEST KIT)Product Namemg/m3 - Milligrams per cubic - Not Otherwise - National Toxicology - Occupational safety and Health - relates to hydrogen ion concentration using a scale of 0 (high acidic) to 14 (highly alkaline).ppm - Parts Per - Registry of Toxic Effects of Chemical - Time Weighted Average or Exposure EFFECTS FROM EXPOSURE:It should be noted that the effects from exposure to this product will depend on several factors including: frequencyand duration of use; quantity used; effectiveness of control measures; protective equipment used and method ofapplication.
