ANNEX Common Name IUPAC Name Identification Numbers Minimum degree of purity of the active substance ( 1 ) Date of approval Expiry date of approval Product type Specific conditions ( 2 ) Aluminium phosphide releasing phosphine IUPAC Name: Aluminium phosphide EC No: 244-088-0 CAS No: 20859-73-8 830 g/kg 1 July 2015 30 June 2025 20 The product assessment shall pay particular attention to the exposures, the risks and the efficacy linked to any uses covered by an application for authorisation, but not addressed in the Union level risk assessment of the active substance. Authorisations are subject to the following conditions: (1) Products shall only be sold to and used by specifically trained professionals. (2) In view of the risks identified for operators, appropriate risk mitigation measures must be applied. These include, amongst others, the use of appropriate personal protective equipment, the use of applicators and the presentation of the product in a form designed to reduce operator exposure to an acceptable level. (3) In view of the risks identified for terrestrial non-target species, appropriate risk reduction measures must be applied. These include, amongst others, the non-treatment of areas where other burrowing mammals than the target species are present. ( 1 ) The purity indicated in this column was the minimum degree of purity of the active substance used for the evaluation made in accordance with Article 8 of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012. The active substance in the product placed on the market can be of equal or different purity if it has been proven technically equivalent with the evaluated active substance.
