Product Category PC19, PC20
Environmental release Category ERC1, ERC6a, ERC6c
Processes, tasks, activities covered Covers the manufacture and use of aniline in closed processes
where exposure to aniline is contained, or where exposure
(inhalation or dermal) to aniline may occur during sampling,
maintenance or equipment breakage.
Covers further processing (use) of aniline to form a number of
different products such as MDA, rubber chemicals, dyes and
pesticides during which aniline is predominantly contained but there
may be some exposure during sampling, maintenance and
equipment breakage.
Covers the same processing (use) of aniline in batch or other
processes where, due to the nature of the process design
opportunity for exposure to aniline may occur but with exposure to
aniline controlled by operational conditions or risk management
measures.
Covers the transfer of aniline by charging/discharging from/to small
or large containers at dedicated facilities, with exposure to aniline
controlled by operational conditions or risk management measures.
Covers use of aniline as laboratory reagent at small scale
laboratories with quantities of 1 L or 1 kg aniline or less present in
the workplace with exposure to aniline controlled by operational
conditions or risk management measures.
It is assumed that all processes are performed at room
temperature.

SAFETY DATA SHEET
TECHNICAL ANILINE
Frequency and duration of use Covers daily exposures up to 8 hours (unless stated) [OC1]
Other Operational Conditions Aniline carries a high hazard warning due to its R68 resp. H341 and
affecting worker exposure R40 resp. H351 classification, therefore where procedures in the
manufacture or use of aniline are not designed to contain
emissions, workers exposure to aniline must be prevented by use of
local exhaust ventilation and good work practices. These may
include:
keeping equipment under negative pressure,
control of staff entry to work area,
ensuring all equipment is well maintained,
permits to work for maintenance work,
regular cleaning of equipment and work area,
systems in place to ensure correct use of RMMs and that
OCs are being followed, training for staff on good practice,
procedures and training for emergency decontamination
and disposal,
good standards of personal hygiene,
recording of any near miss situations.
sensitisers pre-employment screening and appropriate
health screening.
Process Categories Risk Management Measures *
1, 2, 3, 4, 8b, 9 and 15 Aniline carries a high hazard warning due to its R68 resp.
