B (Some substances (acids, bases, etc.) are placed on the market in aqueous solutions at various concentrations and, therefore, these solutions require different classification and labelling since the hazards vary at different concentrations.Entries with Note B have a general designation of the following type: ‘nitric acid … %’.In this case the supplier should state the percentage concentration of the solution on the label. Unless otherwise stated, it is assumed that the percentage concentration is calculated on a weight/weight basis.) |

N (The classification information for this entry was provided by the National Industrial Chemical Notification and Assessment Scheme) EU (Classification information for chemical is taken from the European Union’s Classification, Labelling and Packaging (CLP) Regulation.) |
