  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	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	Percent of chemical in preparation. % Conc.

   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).

  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).

    • Acute health effects

      From MSDS:
      HEALTH HAZARD DATA
      Dust may irritate eyes. Inhalation of dust may irritate nose and throat. Repeated or prolonged overexposure to the dust may cause coughing, shortness of breath, and occupational lung disease. Wood dust is a possible sensitizer. Studies have linked wood dust to nasal cancer in furniture industry workers. Woodworkers in the building industry (e.g. carpenters) do not appear to have this increased risk. Due to the product form and typical use conditions, significant dust exposures are unlikely, and, therefore, the potential for any chronic effects is low. Under normal consumer use situations, no medical conditions are known to be aggravated by exposure to this product. CARBON MONOXIDE HAZARD. Burning charcoal inside without adequate ventilation can kill you. It gives off carbon monoxide, which has no odor. NEVER burn charcoal inside homes, vehicles or tents.

    • Chronic health effects

      From MSDS:
      No information provided.

    • Carcinogenicity

      IARC Monographs (Volume 62, 1995) state that there is sufficient evidence of the carcinogenicity of wood dust in humans and inadequate evidence of its carcinogenicity in animals. IARC classification Group 1. None of the other materials in this product are on the IARC, OSHA, or NTP carcinogen lists.

    • Handling information

      Wash hands after direct contact.

    • Disposal information

      Reclaim, if possible; otherwise, dispose of in accordance with all applicable federal, state, and local regulations.

    • California Prop. 65 Warning

      Combustion (burning) of this product, like other cooking methods, produces carbon monoxide and other substances known by the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or reproductive harm.

    • First Aid

      EYE CONTACT: Flush eyes thoroughly with water for at least 15 minutes. If irritation persists, call a doctor.
      SKIN CONTACT: Wash skin with soap and water.
      INGESTION: Drink a glassful of water. Call a doctor or poison control center.
      INHALATION: Remove to fresh air. If irritation or breathing problems develop, call a doctor..
