PHYSICO-CHEMICAL PROPERTIES
ExplosiveSolid, liquid, pasty or gelatinous substances and preparations which may react exothermically without atmospheric oxygen thereby quickly evolving gases, and which under defined test conditions detonate, quickly deflagrate or upon heating explode when partially confined.E
OxidisingSubstances and preparations which give rise to a highly exothermic reaction in contact with other substances, particularly flammable substances.O
Extremely flammableLiquid substances and preparations having an extremely low flash point and a low boiling point and gaseous substances and preparations which are flammable in contact with air at ambient temperature and pressure.F+
Highly flammable

The following substances and preparations, namely—

(a)

substances and preparations which may become hot and finally catch fire in contact with air at ambient temperature without application of energy,

(b)

solid substances and preparations which may readily catch fire after brief contact with a source of ignition and which continue to burn or to be consumed after removal of the source of ignition,

(c)

liquid substances and preparations having a very low flash point, or

(d)

substances and preparations which, in contact with water or damp air, evolve extremely flammable gases in dangerous quantities.

F
FlammableLiquid substances and preparations having a low flash point.None
HEALTH EFFECTS
Very toxicSubstances and preparations which in very low quantities cause death or acute or chronic damage to health when inhaled, swallowed or absorbed via the skin.T+
ToxicSubstances and preparations which in low quantities cause death or acute or chronic damage to health when inhaled, swallowed or absorbed via the skin.T
HarmfulSubstances and preparations which may cause death or acute or chronic damage to health when inhaled, swallowed or absorbed via the skin.Xn
CorrosiveSubstances and preparations which may, on contact with living tissues, destroy them.C
IrritantNon-corrosive substances and preparations which, through immediate, prolonged or repeated contact with the skin or mucous membrane, may cause inflammation.Xi
SensitisingSubstances and preparations which, if they are inhaled or if they penetrate the skin, are capable of eliciting a reaction by hypersensitisation such that on further exposure to the substance or preparation, characteristic adverse effects are produced.
