NOTE In Europe, DMFU is prohibited in biocidal products as per Directive 98/8/EC. The substance must be used with caution to avoid any health problems in the chemistry laboratory. More recently, EU Commission Decision 2009/251/ EC requires EU member states to ensure that products containing the biocide DMFU are not placed or made available on the market in the European Union. Decision 2009/251/EC establishes a maximum concentration of DMFU in products and parts of products of 0,1 mg/kg.
