Monsanto from in*me . LOCAT.ON1 a.E. MEADOWCROFT - Brussels 4TE May 8, 1972 subject AROCLOR LABELS REFERENCE AEM/gd TO : g.R. SIDO^ G5EC St. Louis A2NA - EDMOND GREENE B2NA - D.C. JONES B2SC - C. PATON xn Europe. ... - 1) There is a defined relationship between the size of the St. Andrews Cross and the size of the label which carries -v it, of minimum 1/lOth area. Yours does not meet that minimum. . 2) We are not certain whether it is actually necessary to put X, Xh and the words - there has been no ruling - we are using a large Xjj and the key words as capitals in the legends But EEC in fact use only Nocif, Gesundheitsschadlich, Schadelijk and Nocivo, with "Harmful" to come, compared to the 2 word phrase of the Yellow Book, (see attachment Xerox of Directive, for comparison with Yellow Book). (As yet of course PCB's are in the Yellow Book only, will be in the next Directive annex. '4 3) You must show the "approved chemical name" as listed in the /. , Yellow Book e.g. Chlorinated Diphenyls 42 % - 54 % PCB ' (see attachment). ' " ! 1 ^ 1 `or-he ) 4) You have shown only one risk phrase in multilanguage. There are two listed. These are both compulsory. 5) C. Paton has agreed for us to continue to use the word "important" which has no legal significance whereas "caution, warning" etc. do have such a significance for hazardous goods. 6) The Monsanto legal phrase you show is different to that Xeroxed to us recently and which itself omitted a line. Our finalised version is as shown on the enclosure - this is what we shall use as the master text for translation into German, French, Italian, Spanish, Dutch, Swedish and Finnish which, along with English makes up the 8 panel printing for our drums. .../... 0498544 PCB-ARCH0750727 aroclor labels 2 The same drums will he used for Aroclor & Pyroclor with the insertion in the vacant "box" of the relevant Cl label (attached) . . 7) We are using'Aroclor Dielectric Fluid by1 and 'Pyroclor Transformer coolant by', not "Chlorinated Polyphenyls by". We are^eferring to "Electrical Grade". v 8) Legally, the label should not be more than A5 size (148 x 210 mm) but we are ignoring this as it has become clear that you cannot get legible type in four languages of 8 or 9 phrases plus symbol in that size limit on an industrial pack. We have already made representation to the UK Govt in this respect. If necessary, with our layout we would argue that each language was a "label". 9) We also have removed reference to "disposal facilities". A separate note has gone to relevant customers. I will forward copies of our "for Disposal" labels (due this week) and of our agreed drum printing layout as soon as possible. We shall also have some 4 language labels made for drums in stock, as soon as I get the final translations. Currently we are using an English only1 emergency label (attached). 0498545 PCB-ARCH0750728 `v'C v>| ' H.Vt;;JK*ifdKflV' T<# JM'S IMPORTANT CHLORODIPHENYLS 42%-54% (or GO%) PCB Some studies have shown that POLYCHLORINATED BIPHENYLS may be persistent, an environmental contaminant and possibly injurious to certain forms of bird, aquatic and animal life.
