This product is classified as not hazardous in accordance with the classification criteria of the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS), Eighth Revised Edition.

## SECTION 3 - COMPOSITION

**Ingredients**

| Chemical entity | CAS Number | Proportion |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| 4-(4-Acetoxyphenyl)-2-butanone | 3572-06-3 | > 0.25 g/L |

**LD50 Oral (Rat):** 1,320 mg/kg
**Remarks:**
**Behavioural:** Altered sleep time (including change in righting reflex).

## SECTION 12 – ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION

The product is not expected to be an ecological hazard. The attractant is specific to the Queensland fruit fly and some exotic fruit fly species and does not attract beneficial species. There is no ecological information on the mixture and the information on the active constituent suggests that its ecotoxicity potential is minimal.

## SECTION 13 – DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS

**Disposal methods and containers:**
Dispose of unused product in local authority landfill. Do not burn empty containers or unused product.

Triple or preferably pressure rinse containers before disposal. Add rinse water to spray tank. Do not dispose of undiluted chemicals on site. If recycling, replace cap and return clean containers to recycler or designated collection point.

If not recycling, break, crush or puncture and bury empty containers in a local authority landfill. If no landfill is available, bury the containers below 500mm in a disposal pit specifically marked and set up for this purpose clear of water.

**Special precautions for landfill or incineration:**
Seek advice from local government authority before disposing of unused product in municipal landfill.

## SECTION 14 – TRANSPORT INFORMATION

This product is not dangerous goods under the Australian Code for the Transport of Dangerous Goods by Road or Rail and is therefore not regulated under transport legislation.

## SECTION 15 – REGULATORY INFORMATION

This product has been registered by the APVMA (Wild May Fruit Fly Attractant / 56171). In granting registration to any product, the APVMA has exercised its legislative responsibility to ensure that the product is suitably formulated and properly labelled and, when used according to instructions is:
* safe to the host, the user, consumers and the environment;
* efficacious (that is, the product does the job it claims it shall do); and
* not unduly prejudicial to trade.

The APVMA uses the services of a number of Australian and State government agencies as advisers to help with some of these evaluations of applications for registration of agricultural and veterinary chemical products. These include:
* the Office of Chemical Safety (OCS) of the Commonwealth Department of Health which:
    * evaluates and reports on toxicology and metabolism studies; proposes first aid and safety directions; determines poison schedule classifications; and establishes acceptable daily intakes (ADIs) and acute reference doses (ARfD); and
    * evaluates the occupational health and safety aspects of an application and recommends safety directions and occupational controls on use and advises on a Safety Data Sheet (MSDS);

* the Commonwealth Department of the Environment and Energy which evaluates environmental data and recommends appropriate use controls and instructions for the product that will protect the environment; and
* State and Territory departments responsible for agricultural and primary industries which evaluate and reports on efficacy and target crop or animal safety data for new agricultural chemicals and new uses of registered products. In some cases, the APVMA contracts this work out to other agencies such as universities, the CSIRO or to other experts.

The product is exempt from inclusion in the Standard for the Uniform Scheduling of Medicines and Poisons (SUSMP).
