5.    GENERAL DIRECTIONS FOR USE OF THE META SPC 1
5.1.    Instructions for use
Meta-SPC 1-3:
If the concentrated chlorinated solution is prepared manually, the following procedure is to be strictly followed:
1.
Always use a container perfectly cleaned-off and exclusively dedicated to this purpose.
2.
Determine the respective amounts of water and product that are necessary to be used in order to reach the desired chlorine concentration, e.g. as follows:
Target available chlorine concentration 0,1 %: 1,5 g calcium hypochlorite per 1 L of water
Target available chlorine concentration 0,2 %: 3.0 g calcium hypochlorite per 1 L of water
Target available chlorine concentration 1 %: 15 g calcium hypochlorite per 1 L of water
Target available chlorine concentration 2 %: 30 g calcium hypochlorite per 1 L of water
3.
First, pour the necessary amount of water.
4.
While shaking gently, afterwards, slowly pour the necessary amount of product.
5.
Keep on shaking for at least 15 minutes until total dissolution of the product.
—
Always read the label or leaflet before use and follow all the instructions provided.
—
Respect the conditions of use of the product.
—
Inform the registration holder if the treatment is ineffective.
5.2.    Risk mitigation measures

With respect to the ‘Category (ies) of users’ note: ‘Professionals’ (including industrial users) means trained professionals if this is required by national legislation.
Please note that some Member states after primary disinfection, request to maintain a residual level of available chlorine in drinking water in the pipes as a precautionary measure. This additional amount, claimed by the authorisation holder as ‘Secondary disinfection: 0,2-0,5 mg/l available chlorine (residual)’ has been considered as covered by the primary disinfection.

5.    GENERAL DIRECTIONS FOR USE OF THE META SPC 2
5.1.    Instructions for use
Meta-SPC 1-3:
If the concentrated chlorinated solution is prepared manually, the following procedure is to be strictly followed:
1.
Always use a container perfectly cleaned-off and exclusively dedicated to this purpose.
2.
Determine the respective amounts of water and product that are necessary to be used in order to reach the desired chlorine concentration, e.g. as follows:
Target available chlorine concentration 0,1 %: 1,5 g calcium hypochlorite per 1 liter of water
Target available chlorine concentration 0,2 %: 3,0 g calcium hypochlorite per 1 liter of water
Target available chlorine concentration 1 %: 15 g calcium hypochlorite per 1 liter of water
Target available chlorine concentration 2 %: 30 g calcium hypochlorite per 1 liter of water
3.
First, pour the necessary amount of water.
4.
While shaking gently, afterwards, slowly pour the necessary amount of product.
5.
Keep on shaking for at least 15 minutes until total dissolution of the product.
—
Always read the label or leaflet before use and follow all the instructions provided.
—
Respect the conditions of use of the product.
—
Inform the registration holder if the treatment is ineffective.
5.2.    Risk mitigation measures

—
Wear protective coverall (type 5) in accordance with EN 13982-1 or equivalent and closed footwear in accordance with EN 13832-3 or equivalent, gloves in accordance with EN ISO 374 or equivalent (glove material to be specified by the authorisation holder within the product information) and chemical goggles in accordance with EN 166 or equivalent during mixing and loading task and post-application task (contact with solid).
—
Wear protection coverall in accordance with EN 13034 or equivalent, face shield in accordance with EN 166 or equivalent, gloves in accordance with EN ISO 374 or equivalent (glove material to be specified by the authorisation holder within the product information) and chemical goggles in accordance with EN 166 or equivalent during post-application task (contact with concentrated stock solution).
—
Wear of respiratory protective equipment (RPE) consistent with EN 136 and EN 14387 or equivalent and with an assigned protection factor of minimum (APF) 20 during manipulation of the product for the mixing and loading task with large amount of product.
—
No personal protective equipment (PPE) is needed for mixing and loading task (small scale – packaging ≤10kg) with a tool (scoop or similar). This tool must have a handle and must not be in contact to the product (must not be stored inside the packaging). Decanting has to be avoided.

6.    OTHER INFORMATION
With respect to the ‘Category (ies) of users’ note: ‘Professionals’ (including industrial users) means trained professionals if this is required by national legislation.
Please note that some Member states after primary disinfection, request to maintain a residual level of available chlorine in drinking water in the pipes as a precautionary measure. This additional amount, claimed by the authorisation holder as ‘Secondary disinfection: 0,2-0,5 mg/l available chlorine (residual)’ has been considered as covered by the primary disinfection.

5.    GENERAL DIRECTIONS FOR USE OF THE META SPC 3
5.1.    Instructions for use
Meta-SPC 1-3:
If the concentrated chlorinated solution is prepared manually, the following procedure is to be strictly followed:
1.
Always use a container perfectly cleaned-off and exclusively dedicated to this purpose.
2.
Determine the respective amounts of water and product that are necessary to be used in order to reach the desired chlorine concentration, e.g. as follows:
Target available chlorine concentration 0,1 %: 1,5 g calcium hypochlorite per 1 L of water
Target available chlorine concentration 0,2 %: 3.0 g calcium hypochlorite per 1 L of water
Target available chlorine concentration 1 %: 15 g calcium hypochlorite per 1 L of water
Target available chlorine concentration 2 %: 30 g calcium hypochlorite per 1 L of water
3.
First, pour the necessary amount of water.
4.
While shaking gently, afterwards, slowly pour the necessary amount of product.
5.
Keep on shaking for at least 15 minutes until total dissolution of the product.
—
Always read the label or leaflet before use and follow all the instructions provided.
—
Respect the conditions of use of the product.
—
Inform the registration holder if the treatment is ineffective.

With respect to the ‘Category (ies) of users’ note: ‘Professionals’ (including industrial users) means trained professionals if this is required by national legislation.
Please note that some Member states after primary disinfection, request to maintain a residual level of available chlorine in drinking water in the pipes as a precautionary measure. This additional amount, claimed by the authorisation holder as ‘Secondary disinfection: 0,2-0,5 mg/l available chlorine (residual)’ has been considered as covered by the primary disinfection.
