Alternative hazard and warning statements that meet the criteria of the Globally Harmonized System and OSHA Hazard Communication Standard may be used.
(iii) Industrial, commercial, and consumer activities. It is a significant new use to process the substance to a concentration of 3% or greater in formulation for use in a consumer product. It is a significant new use to use the substance other than as a surfactant in hard surface cleaners and laundry detergents.
(iv) Release to water. Requirements as specified in § 721.90(a)(4), (b)(4), and (c)(4), where N=142.
