Explosive |
 |
Certain substances react exothermically thus generating gases. These may even explode on heating. Therefore storage is wet i.e. under water or a suitable solvent.
|
Avoid impact, Knocks, sparks, friction, fire and heat
|
Oxidizing |
 |
Certain substances mainly through oxygen evolution increase the fire hazard and the intensity of a fire. |
Avoid contact with flammable substances. Risk of ignition! The substance promotes fire once started and impedes fire fighting.
|
Toxic |
 |
Certain substances in contact with human body can cause severe damage to health and sometimes be lethal. Especially carcinogenic. teratogenic or mutagenic toxic effects.
|
All contact with human body should be avoided. Particularly carcinogenic. teratogenic or mutagenic risk associated substances. Seek medical advice, if unwell. |
Harmful |
 |
Certain substances in contact with human body cause acute or chronic damage to health especially carcinogenic. teratogenic or mutagenic associated substances. There is risk of sensitization by inhalation.
|
All contact with the human skin must be avoided particularly attention is drawn to substances having carcinogenic, mutagenic or teratogenic effects. |
Flammable |
 |
Liquids with a flash point below 0oC and a boiling point of 35oC below are Extremely Flammable. Liquids with a flash point of 21oC or more and below or equal to 55oC are Flammable.
|
Keep away from naked flames, sparks and sources of heat. |
Corrosive |
 |
Certain substances cause total damage to living tissues. |
Take special measures to protect eyes, skin and clothes. Do not inhale vapours. Seek medical advice, if unwell.
|
Irritating |
 |
Certain substance which are in prolonged or repeatedly in contact with the skin may cause inflammation. |
Avoid contact with eyes and skin. Do not inhale vapours.
|
Dangerous For Environment |
 |
Certain substance liberate various things into aquatic environments causing damage to the ecosystems. |
Depending on the risk potential do not allow to enter sewerage systems, soil or environment.
|
Radioactive |
 |
Certain substances are subdivided into several categories relative to the nature of radioactivity. |
Avoid contact with skin and take proper care of storage.
