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.)
C (Some organic substances may be marketed either in a specific isomeric form or as a mixture of several isomers.In this case the supplier should state on the label whether the substance is a specific isomer or a mixture of isomers.)
9 (The aspiration hazard classification should only be applied if the kinematic viscosity criteria for aspiration classification in the GHS is met.)
17 (Generic cut off concentrations also apply to this chemical in addition to the specific cut off concentration(s) above. Refer to the generic cut off concentration table on the Reference Information page of HCIS (http://hcis.safeworkaustralia.gov.au/UserGuide).)
