  The GHS is an acronym for The Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals. The GHS is a system for standardizing and harmonizing the classification and labelling of chemicals. Chemicals are associated with codes that define their health, physical and environmental hazards.This universal hazard communication system was developed to ensure that employers, employees and consumers are provided with adequate, practical, reliable and comprehensible information on the hazards of chemicals, so that they can take effective preventive and protective measure for their own health and safety.
  The GHS classifications for chemicals associated with products in this database may be viewed by selecting the "Advanced" button on the Chemical Ingredients tables. Since this is a work in progress, GHS classifications may not be shown for all chemical ingredients.

  Primary Chemical Name is the standard name assigned to a chemical substance.

  Chemical Abstracts Service Registry Number is a unique identifier for a chemical and its synonyms. CAS numbers identify the chemical, but not its concentration or specific mixture.  CAS Registry Numbers are assigned by the Chemical Abstracts Service, a division of the American Chemical Society. For more information: www.cas.org
  
  We have assigned ID numbers (with 6 leading zeros or nines, e.g., 000000-xx-x or 999999-xx-x) for blends and chemicals that do not have CAS numbers.

   UN Global Harmonization Classification

  Hazard Codes and their associated descriptions are an essential part of the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS). There are 4 categories of Hazard Codes:

  • Physical Hazard Codes (H200 series)
  • Health Hazard Codes (H300 series)
  • Environmental Hazard Codes (H400 series)
  • Supplementary Hazard Codes (EUH series)

  Hazard Codes may be found in the "Advanced" version of Chemical Composition / Ingredients tables.

  Precautionary Codes and their associated descriptions are an essential part of the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS).
  Precautionary Codes may be found in the "Advanced" version of Chemical Composition / Ingredients tables.

  Precautionary Code

  Pictogram

  SVHC is a substance (identified by the European Chemicals Agency) that may have serious and often irreversible effects on human health and the environment. SVHC are defined in Article 57 of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (“the REACH Regulation”) and include substances which are:
  1.  Carcinogenic, Mutagenic or toxic to Reproduction (CMR), meeting the criteria for classification in category 1 or 2 in accordance with Directive 67/548/EEC or in category 1a or 1b in accordance with EC No 1272/2008This directive was recently replaced by the new EU regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.
  2.  Persistent, Bioaccumulative and Toxic (PBT) or very Persistent and very Bioaccumulative (vPvB) according to the criteria in Annex XIII of the REACH Regulation, or
  3.  Identified, on a case-by-case basis, from scientific evidence as causing probable serious effects to human health or the environment of an equivalent level of concern as those above (e.g. endocrine disrupters).

    • Warnings

      KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN! DO NOT TAKE INTERNALLY. Do not breathe vapors. Vapors are heavier than air and will collect in low areas. Check all low areas (basements, sumps, etc.) for vapor before entering. Intentional misuse by deliberately concentrating and inhaling vapors may be harmful or fatal. Use in well ventilated area. Do not get in eyes, on skin or clothing. Wash thoroughly after handling. Turn off stoves, heaters, electric motors or other sources of ignition during use and until all vapors are gone. Vapors may travel long distances to a source of ignition and flash back. Construction and repair activities can adversely affect indoor air quality.
      Keep away from heat and sources of ignition. Do not store at temperatures above 120 degrees F. Store containers away from excessive heat and freezing. Keep containers closed when not in use. Close container after each use. Keep tightly closed in a dry and cool place. Store away from caustics and oxidizers.

    • Acute health effects

      From MSDS:
      Hazards Identification
      Emergency Overview: A tan paste product with a strong solvent odor. DANGER! Extremely flammable liquid and vapor. Vapors may cause flash fire or explosion. Vapors may ignite explosively. Keep away from heat, sparks and flame. Do not breathe vapors. Use only with adequate ventilation. Prevent build -up of vapors by opening all windows and doors to achieve cross-ventilation. May cause eye, skin, nose, throat and respiratory tract irritation.
      Primary Routes Of Entry: Skin Contact, Inhalation, Ingestion, Eye Contact
      Eye Contact: Causes eye irritation.
      Skin Contact: Causes skin irritation. Prolonged and repeated skin contact may cause dermatitis, drying and defatting due to the solvent properties.
      Inhalation: Vapor harmful. May affect the brain or nervous system causing dizziness, headache or nausea. Inhalation causes irritation to the respiratory tract (nose, mouth, throat, mucous membranes). May be fatal if inhaled.
      Ingestion: Harmful or fatal if swallowed. If ingested, may cause vomiting, diarrhea, and depressed respiration. Aspiration of material into the lungs due to vomiting can cause chemical pneumonitis, which can be fatal.
      Medical Conditions which May be Aggravated by Exposure: None known.

    • Chronic health effects

      From MSDS:
      Reports have associated repeated and prolonged occupational overexposure to solvents with permanent brain and nervous system damage. Symptoms include: loss of memory, loss of intellectual ability and loss of coordination. Intentional misuse by deliberately concentrating and inhaling the contents may be harmful or fatal. Prolonged or repeated contact with skin can cause defatting of the skin, which may lead to dermatitis. Overexposure or misuse of toluene can cause liver, kidney, and brain damage as well as cardiac abnormalities. There have been cases of aplastic anemia from toluene in industrial exposures (ACGIH, 1992). Increased coagulation time and reduced clotting factors have also been found, which are indicators of damage to the bone marrow (Clayton & Clayton, 1994). Symptoms include: loss of memory, loss of intellectual ability and loss of coordination.
