4.1.1.Use-specific instructions for useUse an automated loading system.13% (w/w) hydrogen peroxide (undiluted product) is applied via aerosolization by automated device in a sealed room. Rooms may be dehumidified to achieve higher hydrogen peroxide concentrations on surfaces.Remove barriers that may hinder aerosolized product from reaching the surfaces to be disinfected.The disinfected surfaces should be non-porous and cleaned before application of the product. The product is not intended to be used on surfaces that may come into contact with food or feeding stuffs.The user should carry out a microbiological validation of the disinfection in the rooms to be disinfected (or in a suitable "standard room", if applicable) with the devices to be used, after which a protocol for disinfection of these rooms can be made and used thereafter. Each device or specific installation is systematically validated when it is set up. The optimal operating conditions are validated on site (temperature, hygrometry, product to be used, diffusion time, extraction time, etc.). Besides biological validation chemical validation should be performed.Efficacy of room disinfection was demonstrated according to norm NF T 72-281 by nebulization of 1 g of hydrogen peroxide per cubic meter of room volume in 22 min followed by 180 min contact time at room temperature.Volume of disinfected space should be 30 - 150 m3.Median particle size should be <0.5 μm in aerosols used for disinfectionPrevent entry during disinfection process4.1.2.Use-specific risk mitigation measuresSurfaces in the treatment area must be clean and dry prior to application.Seal the treatment enclosure (e.g. with tape) to ensure that hydrogen peroxide levels outside the enclosure are kept at acceptable health and safety levels.Ensure all personnel have vacated the treatment enclosure prior to application. Remove all plants, animals, beverages and food. Re-entry is only permitted once the air concentration has dropped below the reference value (1.25 mg/m3). After the application, the room must be ventilated, preferably by mechanical ventilation. The duration of the ventilation period has to be established by measurement with suitable measurement equipment. In case of the room has to be entered when the hydrogen peroxide concentration is still above 1.25 mg/m3 it is only allowed by wearing appropriate PPE including SCBA (Self Contained Breathing Apparatus).Place warning signs on all entrances to the treatment enclosure.4.1.3.Where specific to the use, the particulars of likely direct or indirect effects, first aid instructions and emergency measures to protect the environmentSee general directions for use.4.1.4.Where specific to the use, the instructions for safe disposal of the product and its packagingSee general directions for use.4.1.5.Where specific to the use, the conditions of storage and shelf-life of the product under normal conditions of storageSee general directions for use.

Thereafter take off all contaminated clothing and wash it before reuse. Continue to wash the skin with water for 15 minutes. Call a POISON CENTRE or a doctor.IF IN EYES: Immediately rinse with water for several minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing for at least 15 minutes. Call 112/ambulance for medical assistance.IF SWALLOWED: Immediately rinse mouth. Give something to drink, if exposed person is able to swallow. Do NOT induce vomiting. Call 112/ambulance for medical assistance.Emergency measures to protect environment in case of accident:Environmental precautions:Should not be released into the environment. If the product contaminates rivers and lakes or drains inform respective authorities.Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up:Dilute with plenty of water. Dam up. Do not mix waste streams during collection. Soak up with inert absorbent material. Keep in properly labelled containers. Keep in suitable, closed containers for disposal. Never return spills in original containers for use.5.4.Instructions for safe disposal of the product and its packagingDo not allow undiluted product to enter the sewer. Do not discharge unused product on the ground, into water courses, into pipes (sink, toilets…) nor down the drains. Only pass on empty containers/packaging for recycling. Disposal of packaging should at all times comply with the waste disposal legislation and any regional local authority requirements.5.5.Conditions of storage and shelf-life of the product under normal conditions of storageStorage: Hydrogen peroxide should be stored in properly designed bulk storage tanks or in original vented container in upright position away from incompatible products. Use only approved materials of construction for equipment or approved packs. Store in a cool, ventilated area and protect from damage and direct sunlight. Do not store at temperatures above 40 °C. Keep away from combustible materials and sources of ignition and heat.Shelf-life: 12 months in HDPE packs at ambient temperature.6.OTHER INFORMATIONPlease be aware of the European reference value of 1.25 mg/m3 for the active substance hydrogen peroxide (CAS No.: 7722-84-1) which was used for the risk assessment for this product.7.THIRD INFORMATION LEVEL: INDIVIDUAL PRODUCTS IN THE META SPC 17.1.Trade name(s), authorisation number and specific composition of each individual product

4.1.1.Use-specific instructions for useUse an automated loading system.49% (w/w) hydrogen peroxide (undiluted product) is applied via aerosolization by automated device in a sealed room. Rooms may be dehumidified to achieve higher hydrogen peroxide concentrations on surfaces.Remove barriers that may hinder aerosolized product from reaching the surfaces to be disinfected.The disinfected surfaces should be non-porous and cleaned before application of the product. The product is not intended to be used on surfaces that may come into contact with food or feeding stuffs.The user should carry out a microbiological validation of the disinfection in the rooms to be disinfected (or in a suitable "standard room", if applicable) with the devices to be used, after which a protocol for disinfection of these rooms can be made and used thereafter. Each device or specific installation is systematically validated when it is set up. The optimal operating conditions are validated on site (temperature, hygrometry, product to be used, diffusion time, extraction time, etc.). Besides biological validation chemical validation should be performed.Efficacy of room disinfection was demonstrated according to norm NF T 72-281by nebulization of 1 g of hydrogen peroxide per cubic meter of room volume in 22 min followed by 180 min contact time at room temperature.Volume of disinfected space should be 30 - 150 m3.Median particle size should be <0.5 μm in aerosols used for disinfection.Prevent entry during disinfection process.4.1.2.Use-specific risk mitigation measuresSurfaces in the treatment area must be clean and dry prior to application.Seal the treatment enclosure (e.g. with tape) to ensure that hydrogen peroxide levels outside the enclosure are kept at acceptable health and safety levels.Ensure all personnel have vacated the treatment enclosure prior to application. Remove all plants, animals, beverages and food. Re-entry is only permitted once the air concentration has dropped below the reference value (1.25 mg/m3). After the application, the room must be ventilated, preferably by mechanical ventilation. The duration of the ventilation period has to be established by measurement with suitable measurement equipment. In case the room has to be entered when the hydrogen peroxide concentration is still above 1.25 mg/m3 it is only allowed by wearing appropriate PPE including SCBA (Self Contained Breathing Apparatus).Place warning signs on all entrances to the treatment enclosure.4.1.3.Where specific to the use, the particulars of likely direct or indirect effects, first aid instructions and emergency measures to protect the environmentSee general directions for use.4.1.4.Where specific to the use, the instructions for safe disposal of the product and its packagingSee general directions for use.4.1.5.Where specific to the use, the conditions of storage and shelf-life of the product under normal conditions of storageSee general directions for use.

4.2.1.Use-specific instructions for useUse an automated loading system.49% (w/w) hydrogen peroxide (undiluted product) is applied via flash evaporation or aerosolization by automated device connected to an filling isolator.
