Zineb	IUPAC Name: Zinc ethylenebis(dithiocarbamate) (polymeric) EC No: 235-180-1 CAS No: 12122-67-7	940 g/kg	1 January 2016	31 December 2025	21	The product assessment shall pay particular attention to the exposures, the risks and the efficacy linked to any uses covered by an application for authorisation, but not addressed in the Union level risk assessment of the active substance. Persons making products containing zineb available on the market for non-professional users shall make sure that the products are supplied with appropriate gloves. Authorisations are subject to the following conditions: (1) For industrial or professional users, safe operational procedures and appropriate organisational measures shall be established. Where exposure cannot be reduced to an acceptable level by other means, products shall be used with appropriate personal protective equipment. (2) Labels and, where provided, instructions for use shall indicate that children shall be kept away until treated surfaces are dry. (3) Labels and, where provided, safety data sheets of products authorised shall indicate that application, maintenance and repair activities shall be conducted within a contained area, on impermeable hard standing with bunding or on soil covered with an impermeable material to prevent losses and minimise emissions to the environment, and that any losses or waste containing zineb shall be collected for reuse or disposal. (4) For products that may lead to residues in food or feed, the need to set new or to amend existing maximum residue levels (MRLs) in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 470/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Councilc or Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 of the European Parliament and of the Councild shall be verified, and any appropriate risk mitigation measures shall be taken to ensure that the applicable MRLs are not exceeded. Where a treated article has been treated with or intentionally incorporates zineb, and where necessary due to the possibility of skin contact as well as the release of zineb under normal conditions of use, the person responsible for placing the treated article on the market shall ensure that the label provides information on the risk of skin sensitisation, as well as the information referred to in the second subparagraph of Article 58(3) of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012.
