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.)
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).)
