  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.

   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.

  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

      DANGER: EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE. CONTENTS UNDER PRESSURE. HARMFUL OR FATAL IF SWALLOWED. VAPOR HARMFUL. EYE AND SKIN IRRITANT. Contains heptane, CAS No. 142-82-5; perchloroethylene, CAS No. 127-18-4, propane, CAS No 74-98-6, butane, CAS No.106-97-8 and talc, CAS No. 14807-96-6. Inhaling or ingesting can cause headache and nausea. Prolonged and repeated skin contact may cause drying of skin. Contains perchloroethylene, which has been shown to cause cancer in certain laboratory animals. Risk to your health depends on level and duration of exposure. Do not puncture, incinerate or store above 120 F. Avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight. Keep away from heat and flames. Avoid eye contact. Avoid breathing of mists and vapors. Use only in well ventilated areas. Avoid prolonged skin contact. Wash thoroughly after handling. WARNING: This product contains a chemical known to the state of California to cause cancer. Intentional misuse by deliberately concentrating and/or inhaling can be harmful or fatal. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.

    • Acute health effects

      From MSDS Eye Contact: Avoid eye contact. This product can cause corneal burns, twitching and redness. These effects are transient, and complete recovery follows. Skin Contact: Avoid skin contact. This product may cause skin irritation upon direct contact. Prolonged or repeated contact may result in contact dermatitis which is characterized by dryness, chapping, and reddening. Pre-existing skin conditions may make the skin more susceptible and facilitate uptake by this route. Inhalation: Avoid prolonged inhalation of vapors. Exposure to vapors may be irritating to the throat and lungs. When high concentrations are inhaled, human signs may include a reddening of the face and a feeling of increased body heat, in addition, disturbed vision, dizziness, tremors, salivation, cardiac stress, drowsiness, dullness, numbness, weakness, headache, nausea, and confusion, as well as respiratory difficulties may be apparent. Extremely high concentrations have anesthetic effects and may lead to death. Signs and symptoms from chronic exposure resemble those from acute mishaps but are in part systemically more severe. Symptoms related to the nervous system, kidneys, liver, have been reported following long-term inhalation exposure to high concentrations. Such concentrations can only be built up in unventilated, enclosed and confined spaces. Ingestion: Ingestion of small quantities is usually nonfatal unless aspiration occurs. Aspiration may lead to chemical pneumonitis which is characterized by pulmonary edema and hemorrhage and may be fatal. Signs of lung involvement include increased respiratory rate, increased heart rate, and a bluish discoloration of the skin. Coughing, choking, and gagging are often noted at the time of aspiration. Gastrointestinal discomfort may develop, followed by vomiting with a further risk of aspiration. Ingestion will cause severe gastrointestinal distress. Severe oral intoxication will lead to intense burning of the throat and may result in drowsiness, dullness, numbness, and headache followed by dizziness, weakness, and nausea. Loss of consciousness and convulsions followed by death may result. Medical Conditions Aggravated by Exposure: This condition may make the skin more susceptible to other irritants, sensitizers, and disease.

    • Chronic health effects

      From MSDS Prolonged or repeated contact may result in contact dermatitis which is characterized by dryness, chapping, and reddening. Pre-existing skin conditions may make the skin more susceptible and facilitate uptake by this route. Signs and symptoms from chronic inhalation exposure resemble those from acute mishaps but are in part systemically more severe. Symptoms related to the nervous system, kidneys, liver, have been reported following long-term inhalation exposure to high concentrations. Such concentrations can only be built up in unventilated, enclosed and confined spaces.

    • Carcinogenicity

      From MSDS There is limited evidence in humans and sufficient evidence in experimental animals for the carcinogenicity of perchloroethylene.

    • Handling information

      From MSDS All ignition sources in the area should be controlled. Fire extinguishers should be kept readily available. See NFPA 30 and OSHA 1910.106--Flammable and Combustible Liquids. Contents under pressure and can explode when exposed to heat or open flame. Caution!--Do not puncture or incinerate. Do not store at temperatures greater than 120 F.

    • Disposal information

      From MSDS Dispose of residual products and empty containers responsibly. Waste material may be landfilled or incinerated at an approved facility.

    • First Aid

      From MSDS Eye Contact: Immediately flush eyes with large amounts of water and continue flushing for 15 minutes or until irritation subsides. If irritation persists, seek medical attention. Skin Contact: Wash contaminated area thoroughly with soap and water. Use a hand or skin lotion to prevent dryness. If redness or irritation occurs, seek medical attention. Inhalation: If exposure levels exceed the limits listed in Sections 3 or 8, remove victim from exposure. If victim exhibits signs of vapor intoxication remove to fresh air. If breathing has stopped or is irregular, administer artificial respiration and supply oxygen if it is available. If victim is unconscious, remove to fresh air and seek immediate medical attention. Ingestion: Ingestion is unlikely for aerosol products. Do not attempt to give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. If person is conscious, induce vomiting. If person is conscious, give large quantities of water immediately. If vomiting occurs lower head below knees to avoid aspiration. Seek medical attention.
