1. Disclose the presence of amorphous silicon dioxide in the controlled product, its CAS Registry Number, and its percent concentration.
2. Disclose the presence of phenol in the controlled product, its CAS Registry Number and its percent concentration;
3. Disclose the percent concentrations of "dimer/TOFA, reaction products with TETA", triethylenetetramine and carbon black in an acceptable manner;
4. Disclose the Exposure Limit Value AIHA WEEL-TWA = 1 ppm (skin) for triethylenetetramine;
5. Add inhalation as a primary route of entry;
6. In relation to the first aid information shown on the MSDS for inhalation, add that immediate medical assistance should be obtained;
7. In relation to the first aid information shown on the MSDS for ingestion, delete the current reference to "lots" of milk or water and disclose that 250–300 mL of water be administered to the casualty to dilute the material in the stomach. Add information to the effect that no attempt should be made to give anything by mouth to a person who is rapidly losing consciousness, or is unconscious or convulsing, and that if vomiting occurs naturally, have the casualty lean forward to reduce the risk of aspiration and repeat the administration of water;
8. Disclose an LD50 (oral, rat) value of 340 mg/kg, an LD50 (dermal, rabbit) value of 0.625 mL/kg and an LC50 (8 hours, rat) value of > 1 800 mg/m3 for phenol;
9. Disclose an LC50 (1 hour, rat) value of 27 000 mg/m3 for carbon black;
10. Disclose a lower LD50 (dermal, rabbit) value for triethylenetetramine;
11. Replace the LD50 (oral, rat) value for tetraethylenepentamine with a value of 3 224 mg/kg;
12. Disclose that an ingredient in the controlled product has been shown to cause fetotoxic effects in laboratory animals;
13. Disclose that an ingredient in the controlled product is considered to be a germ cell mutagen based on positive results in in vivo screening tests and that an ingredient in the controlled product is considered to be a somatic cell mutagen based on positive results in an in vivo screening test;
14. If the WHMIS classifications are stated on the MSDS, disclose that the controlled product is also in class D1B.
