GHS

General Information

Implementation:

EU

Remarks:

According to new end point data the self-classification deviates from that found in EU Classification, Labelling and Packaging of Substances and Mixtures (CLP) Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 Annex VI and ATP01. However, the stricter classification will be adhered. Deviating classifications: H411 Toxic to aquatic life with long lasting effects: Chronic Environmental Toxicity, Category 2. Cat 4 (harmful if swallowed) for acute oral, Cat 4 (harmful in contact with skin) for acute dermal, and Cat 4 (harmful if inhaled). Irritation Category 2 (Serious damage/eye irritation). The substance does not need to be classified for mutagenicity. The phys-chem endpoints (explosiveness, oxidising properties, and flammability) have been classified as “conclusive but not sufficient for classification”.
