| Notes |
8 (The tables in schedule 6 of the WHS regulations replace some tables in the GHS, this may affect the cut off concentrations for this chemical.) D (Certain substances which are susceptible to spontaneous polymerisation or decomposition are generally placed on the market in a stabilised form. It is in this form that they are listed in this spreadsheet.However, such substances are sometimes placed on the market in a non-stabilised form. In this case, the supplier should state on the label the name of the substance followed by the words ‘non-stabilised’.) U (When put on the market gases should be classified as ‘Gases under pressure’, in one of the groups compressed gas, liquefied gas, refrigerated liquefied gas or dissolved gas. The group depends on the physical state in which the gas is packaged and therefore has to be assigned case by case.) |
