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 |

Category 1 | T | |
Category 2 | T | |
Category 3 | Xn | |
Toxic for reproduction (See Note 2) | Substances and preparations which, if they are inhaled or ingested or if they penetrate the skin, may produce or increase the incidence of non-heritable adverse effects in the progeny and/or of male or female reproductive functions or capacity. | |
Category 1 | T | |
Category 2 | T | |
Category 3 | Xn | |
