(a) Requirement. Warning statements on the flammability or explosive characteristics of the pesticide product are required if a product meets the criteria in this section. Warning statements pertaining to other physical/chemical hazards (e.g., oxidizing potential, conductivity, chemical reactions leading to production of toxic substances) may be required on a case-by-case basis.
(b) Pressurized products. The table below sets out the required flammability label statements for pressurized products.
Flammability Statements for Pressurized Products------------------------------------------------------------------------
Flash point/flame extension of product Required labeling statement--------------------------------------------------------------------------Flash point at or below 20 [deg]F Extremely flammable.
Contents under pressure.
Keep away from fire,
sparks, and heated
surfaces. Do not puncture
or incinerate container.
Exposure to temperatures
above 130 [deg]F may cause
bursting.
OR
--Flashback at any valve opening--------------------------------------------------------------------------Flash point 20 [deg]F to 80 Flammable. Contents under
[deg]F pressure. Keep away from
heat, sparks and open
flame. Do not puncture or
incinerate container.
Exposure to temperatures
above 130 [deg]F may cause
bursting.
OR
--Flame extension more than 18 in. long at
a distance of 6 in from the flame------------------------------------------------------------------------All other pressurized products Contents under pressure. Do
not use or store near heat
or open flame. Do not
puncture or incinerate
container. Exposure to
temperatures above 130
[deg]F may cause bursting.------------------------------------------------------------------------
(c) Non-pressurized products. The table below sets out the required flammability label statements for non-pressurized products.
Flammability Statements for Non-Pressurized Products------------------------------------------------------------------------
Flash point Required labeling statement------------------------------------------------------------------------At or below 20 [deg]F Extremely flammable. Keep
away from fire, sparks and
heated surfaces.------------------------------------------------------------------------Greater than 20 [deg]F to 80 [deg]F Flammable. Keep away from
heat and open flame.------------------------------------------------------------------------Greater than 80 [deg]F to 150 [deg]F Combustible. Do not use or
store near heat or open
flame.------------------------------------------------------------------------
(d) Total release fogger products. (1) A total release fogger is defined as a pesticide product in a pressurized container designed to automatically release the total contents in one operation, for the purpose of creating a permeating fog within a confined space to deliver the pesticide throughout the space.

(2) If a pesticide product is a total release fogger containing a propellant with a flash point at or below 20 [deg]F, then the following special instructions must be added to the ``Physical and Chemical Hazards'' warning statement, in addition to any flammability statement required by paragraph (b) of this section: This product contains a highly flammable ingredient. It may cause a fire or explosion if not used properly. Follow the Directions for Use on this label very carefully.
(3) A graphic symbol depicting fire, such as illustrated in this paragraph, or an equivalent symbol, must be displayed along with the required language adjoining the ``Physical and Chemical Hazards'' warning statement. The graphic symbol must be no smaller than twice the size of the first character of the human hazard signal word.[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR14DE01.011 Highly Flammable Ingredient Ingrediente Altamente Inflamable
