NOTES TO PART B 1. Substances and preparations must be classified for the purposes of this Schedule according to regulation 4 of the Chemicals (Hazard Information and Packaging for Supply) Regulations 2009(11) (CHIP) whether or not the substance or preparation is required to be classified for the purposes of those Regulations or, in the case of a pesticide approved under the Food and Environment Protection Act 1985(12), in accordance with the classification assigned to it by that approval. 2. An “explosive” means:
(a) combustion of which gives rise to considerable radiant heat; or (b) which burn one after another, producing minor blast or projection effects or both.
3. In categories 6, 7, 8 and 9, “flammable”, “highly flammable”, and “extremely flammable” mean— (a) flammable liquids means substances and preparations having a flash point equal to or greater than 21 °C and less than or equal to 55°C (risk phrase R 10), supporting combustion; (b) highly flammable liquids means— (i) substances and preparations which may become hot and finally catch fire in contact with air at ambient temperature without any input of energy (risk phrase R 17); (ii) substances and preparations which have a flash point lower than 55°C and which remain liquid under pressure, where particular processing conditions, such as high pressure or high temperature, may create major-accident hazards; and (iii) substances and preparations having a flash point lower than 21 °C and which are not extremely flammable (risk phrase R 11, second indent); (c) extremely flammable gases and liquids means— (i) liquid substances and preparations which have a flash point lower than 0 °C and the boiling point (or, in the case of a boiling range, the initial boiling point) of which at normal pressure is less than or equal to 35 °C (risk phrase R 12, first indent), (ii) gases which are flammable in contact with air at ambient temperature and pressure (risk phrase R12, second indent), which are in a gaseous or supercritical state, and (iii) flammable and highly flammable liquid substances and preparations maintained at a temperature above their boiling point. | ||
NOTES TO PARTS A AND B 1.

NOTES TO PART C 1. The expression “which it is believed may be generated during loss of control of an industrial chemical process” has the same meaning as in the Directive. 2. Where a substance falling within Part A or B also falls within Part C, the classification with the lowest controlled quantity must apply, subject to note 3 to the notes to Parts A and B.” | |
