International Sustainability and Carbon Certification (ISCC)

202 ISCC Sustainability Standard and 202-02 Classified Chemicals1

This tool shall help farmers and auitors to identify the hazardous group of the applied chemicals and their active ingredients.
In section 1, chemicals and pesticides listed under WHO 1a, 1b or 2, under the Rotterdam Convention on the prior Informed Procedure for Certain Hazardous
Chemicals and Pesticides in International Trade or under the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants, are classified with respect to their
compliance with the Add-on 202-02.
In section 2, based on the country of cultivation, it can be checked if chemicals and pesticides are banned in the specific country.

Section 1: Compliance with Add-on 202-02

Instructions: Enter the CAS Number of the active ingredients that are included in the agrochemicals you wish to use in the blue field (B11). See under the
category List whether the use of the active ingredient is 'Prohibited', if a 'Phase Out' is required or it it is 'Slightly or unlikely hazardous' and thus not subject
to a phase out. If it is 'Not listed' in the ISCC list, we recommend to check further sources. Chemicals listed in the Montreal Protocol are not prohibited under
ISCC Add-on 202-02.

Section 2: Compliance with ISCC 202 legal requirements


Instructions: Additional to the CAS Number of the active ingredient provided in the above field, insert the country of cultivation in the blue field (B16). See
under the category List whether the use of the active ingredient is 'Banned' or "Not approved" in a country. The list is an indicative list. If it is 'Not listed' in the
ISCC list, we recommend to check further sources

Main Reference Document
All pesticides, which include the active ingredients listed in one of the following lists, shall be excluded from the cultivation of crops:
- Extremely hazardous technical grade active ingredients of pesticide (WHO1a)
- Highly hazardous (WHO1b) technical grade active ingredients in pesticides

The area, treated with the relevant chemicals of the following lists, shall be minimized to 0% until 2020. Any audit in 2020 must proof compliance with this
criterion. The farmer commits to phase out the relevant plant protection products by signing the respective self declaration. A list of applied chemicals,
including their status according WHO, Rotterdam and Stockholm Conventions, shall exist and the progress of this phase out shall be verified during the
certification audit. A written phase–out statement, in case any of these listed chemicals are used, is obligatory.
- Moderately hazardous (WHOII) technical grade active ingredients in pesticides
- Chemicals listed in Annex III of the Rotterdam Convention on the Prior Informed Consent Procedure for certain hazardous Chemicals and Pesticides in
international
trade
- Chemicals listed in the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants

2 SEARCH CRITERION
Each CAS Registry Number (often referred to as a CAS Number)
- is a unique numeric identifier
- designates only one substance
- has no chemical significance
- is a link to a wealth of information about a specific chemical substance

http://www.cas.org/content/chemical-substances/faqs
3 UN number refers to the UN Recommendations on the transport of dangerous goods, Eleventh revision (1999). The UN number refers only to the active
ingredient; formulations are likely to have different numbers, since the ingredient may, for example, be dissolved in a solvent - and liquid products have
different UN numbers, which depends on their flammability.

4 Common name. [ISO] denotes common name of the active ingredient approved by the International Organization for Standardization. Such
names are, when available, preferred by WHO to all other common names. However, attention is drawn to the fact that some of these names
may not be acceptable for national use in some countries. If the letters ISO appear within parentheses (ISO), this indicates that ISO has
standardized (or is in the process of standardizing) the name of the base, but not the name of the derivative listed in column 1. For example,
fentin acetate (ISO) indicates that fentin is an ISO name, but fentin acetate is not. ISO* denotes pending ISO approval of the name. C
denotes chemical, trivial, or other common name.

8 Chemical type. Only a limited number of chemical types are shown. Most have some significance in the sense that they may have a common antidote, or
may be confused in the nomenclature with other chemical types e.g. thiocarbamates are not cholinesterase inhibitors and do not have the same effects
as carbamates. Chemical type is also a determinant of the UN numbering system. These chemical classifications are included only for convenience, and
do not represent a recommendation on the part of the World Health Organization as to the way in which the pesticides should be classified. It should,
furthermore, be understood that some pesticides may fall into more than one type.

9 Physical state. Refers only to the active ingredient. L denotes liquid, including solids with a melting point below 50°C; oil denotes oily liquids and S solids,
including waxes. The physical state may affect the exposure potential, and thus the absorbed amount of the chemical, and was taken into account when
determining classification under the previous scheme.
10 Main use. In most cases only a single use is given. This is only for identification purposes and does not exclude other uses.
11 GHS: This column indicates the classification of the pesticide according to “The Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of
Chemicals” (GHS)7. The value shown in the column is the Acute Toxic Hazard Category according to the GHS criteria, which in turn is derived from the
acute toxicity estimate value for the substance. In the majority of cases the acute toxicity estimate will be the experimentally-derived LD50 value for oral
exposure. A comparison of the criteria (as LD50 values) used for the different classes in the former WHO Scheme or for GHS categories is shown in the
tables below. The GHS table shows only a simplified summary; for full details of classification according to GHS the official publication of the GHS should
be consulted.
12 LD50. The LD50 value is a statistical estimate of the number of mg of toxicant per kg of body weight required to kill 50% of a large population of test
animals: the rat is used unless otherwise stated. Usually a single value, but sometimes a range is given. “c” preceding the value indicates that it is a value
within a wider than usual range, adopted for classification purposes. When several different values are reported in the literature, the lowest is reported
and used as the basis of classification, unless there are clear indications that a higher value is more reliable. Oral route values are used unless the
dermal route values place the compound in a more hazardous class, or unless the dermal values are significantly lower than the oral values, although in
the same class. Dermal LD50 values are indicated with the letter D.
