  • it is not cationic or potentially cationic; or 
  • the chemical contains one or more cationic, or potentially cationic, groups and at least one of the following applies:
    • the total combined functional group equivalent weight of any cationic or potentially cationic groups is at least 5,000 g/mol
    • the chemical has a solubility in water of less than 0.1 mg/L and will only be used in its solid phase
    • the chemical is not dispersible in water and will only be used in its solid phase.
