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.) 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.) 10 (The chemical is a substance of unknown or variable composition, complex reaction product, or biological material (UVCB). The hazards of the chemical may depend on the composition. For more information refer to the assessment report published on the website of the National Industrial Chemical Notification and Assessment Scheme.) |
