Crude oil [A complex combination of hydrocarbons, It consists predominantly of aliphatic, alicyclic and aromatic hydrocarbons. It may also contain small amounts of nitrogen, oxygen and sulfur compounds. This category encompasses light, medium, and heavy petroleums, as well as the oils extended from tar sands. Hydrocarbonaceous materials requiring major chemical changes for their recovery or conversion to petroleum refinery feedstocks such as crude shale oils upgraded shale oils and liquid coal fuels are not included in this definition.] |

| 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.) 9 (The aspiration hazard classification should only be applied if the kinematic viscosity criteria for aspiration classification in the GHS is met.) 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.) |
