  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.

  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 , 888888-xx-x) or 999999-xx-x) for blends and chemicals that do not have CAS numbers. 

  CAS No./ID

  Is a seven-digit number (xxx-xxx-x) assigned by the European Commission to chemicals contained in three inventories:
  EINECS is the European Inventory of Existing Commercial Substances and its EINECS numbers are displayed as 2xx-xxx-x.

  Hazard Symbols are used to classify dangerous substances.

  Hazard Symbols

  Risk Phrases, denoted as a series of numbers preceded by the letter "R" indicate the nature of the special risks, in accordance with Annex III to Directive 67/548/EEC (see Article 23(2)(d) Directive 67/548/EEC). The numbers are separated by either a comma to denote separate statements concerning special risks, or an oblique stroke (/) to denote a combined statement, in a single sentence, of the special risks.

  Risk Phrases

  Safety Phrases, denoted as a series of numbers preceded by the letter "S" indicating the recommended safety precautions, in accordance with Annex IV to Directive 67/548/EEC. The numbers are separated by either a comma to denote separate statements concerning safety precautions, or an oblique stroke (/) to denote a combined statement, in a single sentence, of the safety precautions.

  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).

   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.

    • SVHC declaration

      Warning: This product contains Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC).

    • Acute health effects

      From MSDS Primary ROUTES OF ENTRY; Eyes, Inhalation, Ingestion TARGET ORGANS. Flux fumes: eyes, skin. mucous membranes and respiratory system. Ingestion of lead metal can affect kidneys, gastrointestinal, reproductive and neurological systems. EFFECTS OF ACUTE (severe short-term) EXPOSURE: INHALATION. Flux fumes during soldering may cause irritation and damage of mucous membranes and respiratory system. SKIN CONTACT; Possible local !irritation by contact with flux or fumes. SKIN ABSORPTION: None. EYE CONTACT Irritation from contact with smoke from soldering. INGESTION: Not likely to occur. Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure: Flux: pre-existing conditions of the lungs. Lead: Diseases of the blood and blood-forming organs, kidneys, nerves and possibly reproductive system.

    • Chronic health effects

      From MSDS EFFECTS OF CHRONIC (prolonged) EXPOSURE: Breathing fumes during soldering may cause respiratory system irritation, headache, and irritation of mucous membranes. Smoke during soldering will contain rosin which is an allergen and can cause respiratory system irritation and damage. Repeated ingestion of lead can result in systemic poisoning.

    • Carcinogenicity

      From MSDS NTP: No OSHA: No IARC: Yes Lead and its components have been placed in Class B2, probably carcinogenic to humans by USEPA. IARC has placed lead and its compounds in Class 2B, possibly carcinogenic to humans.

    • Handling information

      From MSDS PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN IN HANDLING AND STORAGE: CAUTION! Empty containers may contain product residue. Observe all label precautions. Store away from sources of sulfur. Wash hands after handling solder containing lead before eating or smoking. Avoid breathing smoke/fumes generated during soldering. Do not place flux cored solder into a hot solder pot because the flux may ignite. Wash hands thoroughly after handling solder containing lead and before eating or smoking.

    • Disposal information

      From MSDS Solder can be reclaimed.

    • First Aid

      From MSDS Seek medical assistance for further treatment, observation and support if needed. EYE CONTACT: For burns flush immediately with cool water. For fume irritation use eye drops and remove from exposure. SKIN CONTACT: For burns flush immediately with cool water. If a rash develops from flux fumes, remove person from exposure and wash skin with soap and water. INHALATION: Remove person from exposure to fumes. INGESTION: NA
